Brand: K-Rain SKU: P8005001
Product Overview
The K-Rain P8005001 is the replacement vacuum-breaker assembly for compatible K-Rain 6000 Series indexing valves. The 6000 Series uses an atmospheric venting function to release vacuum after the water supply shuts down, helping the valve drain and reset so it can advance to the next outlet during the following cycle.
This small service assembly replaces the matching vacuum-breaker component in the valve top. It is not a complete indexing valve and should not be assumed to replace a separate, code-required irrigation backflow-prevention device. Verify the exact valve series and inspect the surrounding top assembly and seals before installation.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
Confirm the existing valve is a compatible 6000 Series model. Shut off the water supply and relieve pressure before opening the valve. Keep the vent path clean and inspect the valve top, seal, stem-and-disc assembly, and cam during service. Maintain any separate backflow protection required by local code.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this part control the number of zones?
No. The cam and valve outlet configuration determine the zone sequence.
Is it a complete code-approved backflow preventer?
No universal code approval should be assumed. It is the replacement vacuum-breaker component within the 6000 Series valve; required system backflow protection must be evaluated separately.
Why Buy the K-Rain P8005001 from Big Frog Supply?
This listing explains the component's role in valve draining and indexing without confusing it with a complete backflow assembly. Big Frog Supply also carries 6000 Series tops, bottoms, cams, seals, and stem-and-disc assemblies for diagnosing and repairing the full valve.
