Pressure Vacuum Breaker devices are designed to safeguard against health hazards and non-health hazards by preventing contaminated water from entering the water supply. All images have a resolution of 2048 in their greatest dimension. History reveals that Pressure Vacuum Breaker assemblies are utilized to shield against hazardous backflow conditions in various facilities, including industrial plants, cooling towers, laboratories, laundries, swimming pools and lawn sprinkler systems. Unlike atmospheric vacuum breakers, these devices contain a spring-loaded poppet, making them suitable for high-hazard applications or scenarios where valves are present downstream. When installed outdoors, Pressure Vacuum Breakers must be shielded from freezing temperatures. Typically, PVBs feature test cocks that allow specially calibrated gauges to verify their operation. Backflow prevention devices like the Pressure Vacuum Breaker are governed by the International Plumbing Code, but may also be mandated by local government regulations.
