Description
The Watts LF288A (SKU 0792039) is a 3/4″ lead-free brass atmospheric vacuum breaker engineered to protect potable water and hydronic piping systems against back-siphonage and backflow contamination. Constructed from lead-free brass in compliance with NSF/ANSI 61 and applicable lead-free legislation, this vacuum breaker is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and hydronic heating applications where code-compliant backflow prevention is required.
The LF288A operates as an atmospheric-type device, automatically venting to atmosphere when supply pressure drops, effectively breaking any siphon that could draw contaminants back into the supply line. Its compact, all-brass body delivers lasting durability and corrosion resistance in a wide range of water conditions.
