Socla Vacuum Breaker & Backflow Preventer DA ½’’

Hot or Cold Water Anti-Siphon Vacuum Breakers prevent the reverse flow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage. It consists of Lead Free* brass body construction (LF288A) or chrome finish (LF288AC), chemical resistant silicone seat disc and an atmospheric vent to prevent spilling. Series LF288A has a full size orifice to assure pipe size capacity and maximum flow. It is ideal for low flow, non-continuous hot or cold water health hazard installations such as on laboratory equipment.

Series LF288A represents a complete line of vacuum breakers designed to prevent backsiphonage of contaminated water into a potable water supply.

They feature a lightweight, durable “disc float” suitable for temperatures up to 180°F (82°C) which closes the atmospheric vent to prevent spilling under all rates of flow. Therefore, they are ideally recommended for low flow installations such as laboratory equipment which use such a small amount of water. They also contain a durable silicone disc which has high heat and water hammer shock resistance and assures tight seating with the lightest of seating contact.

Designed for use where open tanks or basins are filled by a hose below the water line; in appliances where water enters below the overflow rim; or in lawn sprinkling systems. Other applications include medical, surgical, therapeutic, and mortuary tanks.
