An Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) is a backflow prevention device used in plumbing to prevent backflow of non-potable liquids into the drinking water system. Diagram of Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker in both working states.
The atmospheric vacuum breaker consists of a check valve member and an air vent that is normally closed when the device is pressurized. The air vent allows air into the piping system for the purpose of stopping a siphon at the point of use (see Figure A).
The atmospheric vacuum breaker, or AVB, is a backflow prevention device used in plumbing to prevent the backflow of non-potable liquids into the drinking water system. AVBs comprise of an air inlet port, a check seat, and an air inlet valve.
Atmospheric vacuum breakers (AVB), a pressure vacuum breaker (PVB), a spill resistant pressure vacuum breaker (SVB) or a reduced pressure principle backflow preventer (RP) are acceptable assemblies. (See Table 608.1 of the 2015 editions of the IPC or Table P2902.3 of the 2015 editions of the IRC, depending on the code that is
Vacuum Breakers. Designed for use in health hazard cross connections and continuous pressure applications where the water enters the equipment at or below its flood rim. Provides protection against backsiphonage incidents only.
An atmospheric vacuum breaker consists of a check valve and an air vent. The devices allow air into the system to prevent a siphon at the point of use. Hose connection vacuum breakers are installed on faucets and hose bibbs to prevent backflow into the water supply.
Atmospheric vacuum breakers, also known as AVBs, are a common type of breaker used to prevent backflow. These consist of a check valve and an air vent that is closed when the device is under normal line pressure.
Atmospheric Vacuum Breakers (AVB) or Anti-Siphon Valves, which should you choose? Both are backflow prevention devices that you can use to protect your drinking water from contamination. Let’s talk a little about their installation and use.
The 1 in. pressure vacuum breaker backflow preventer helps prevent the reverse flow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to back siphonage.
An Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) is a backflow prevention device that incorporates an atmospheric vent with a check valve to prevent backsiphonage (reversal of the normal flow of water caused by a negative pressure in the supply piping) of non-potable liquids into the potable water supply.
