Arrowhead Brass PK1380 Lead-Free Self-Draining Vacuum Breaker
Brand: Arrowhead Brass | SKU: PK1380
Product Overview
The PK1380 is a lead-free brass, self-draining vacuum breaker for compatible Arrowhead Brass outdoor faucets with a 1-1/16-inch fine-thread connection. It helps prevent backsiphonage through an attached garden hose and drains automatically when the faucet is shut off and pressure is released.
Choose this rough-brass model when replacing a matching factory-installed backflow preventer. Confirm the existing faucet model and fine-thread connection before ordering because coarse-thread and other vacuum-breaker styles are not interchangeable.
