Vacuum Breaker

The Vacuum Breaker is an essential safeguard for any drip irrigation or garden watering system. Designed to prevent backflow caused by negative pressure, this device helps protect your home’s or community’s potable water supply from contamination—especially when using fertilizer injectors or connecting to municipal water sources. Easy to install, it fits between your spigot or shut-off valve and irrigation line, making it a simple yet critical upgrade for water-safe gardening. Required by most municipal building and plumbing codes, this hose-threaded vacuum breaker is highly recommended for use with fertilizer injectors or any system where chemicals may enter the water flow. It works by allowing air into the system when a vacuum forms, stopping contaminated water from being siphoned backward into clean water supplies. Whether you're running a basic drip setup or a more complex fertilization system, this fitting provides peace of mind and environmental protection. Key features and benef
