Brand: Arrowhead Brass | SKU: PK1390
Product Overview
The PK1390 is a nickel-plated, 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.
