Hose Bibb Vacuum Breakers in Big Cove Tannery, PA

A garden hose dropped into a bucket of weed killer is a cross-connection. If pressure on the street drops, that bucket can siphon back into your pipes.

A hose bibb vacuum breaker, built to ASSE 1011, threads onto the outdoor faucet and lets air in when pressure drops, breaking the siphon. Most plumbing codes require one on every hose connection.

The better ones have a breakaway set screw so they cannot be removed once installed. Frost-free sillcocks often come with a vacuum breaker built in, but the cheap plastic caps on some models crack after a few seasons. A faucet that sprays water from the top of the vacuum breaker when you shut the hose nozzle has a failed one.

These are not testable devices, so they are not on your utility's annual list. They still matter for backflow prevention at home.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects Big Cove Tannery, PA homeowners with plumbers who fit hose bibb vacuum breakers and check other small cross-connections during a backflow testing visit. Call (833) 990-5874.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Hose Bibb Vacuum Breakers in Big Cove Tannery, PA.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in Big Cove Tannery, PA?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
Will my water be off during the test?
Yes, briefly. The tester closes the shutoff valves on the assembly while reading the checks, so water downstream of the device is off until the test is done.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in Big Cove Tannery, PA need a backflow preventer?
Almost every US plumbing code requires one on irrigation, since fertilizer, pesticide and standing water at the heads can siphon back. The device type depends on local code and how the system is laid out.
What is a cross-connection?
Any point where drinking water piping can come into contact with a non-potable source. Common examples are a hose in a bucket, a boiler fill line and an irrigation system.
How much does backflow testing cost in Big Cove Tannery, PA?
Pricing depends on device type, size and the local market. Call (833) 990-5874 for current pricing on backflow testing in Big Cove Tannery, PA.
