Anti-Siphon, Spill-Resistant Vacuum Breakers

Product catalog summary
Function and Protection: The document describes the Watts 008QT Spill-Resistant Pressure Vacuum Breaker, designed to protect potable water supplies from backflow due to negative supply pressure, specifically against back-siphonage.
Installation Requirements:
  • Install at least 1 inch above the flood level for factory deck-mounted applications or 6 inches for general plumbing.
  • Ensure bonnet side is up and accessible for testing and service; avoid concealed locations.
  • Do not undersize supply or oversize the valve relative to demand.
  • Avoid installation where back-pressure can occur and protect from freezing.
  • Use a strainer ahead of the backflow preventer to prevent fouling.
Recommended Service: Periodic testing is required by local authorities, and internal components should be replaced every five years.
Pressure and Temperature Specifications:
  • Working Temperature: 33°F – 180°F (0.5ºC – 82ºC)
  • Maximum Pressure: 150 psi (10.3 bar)
  • Minimum Pressure: 8 psi (55 kPa)
Test Procedures:
  • Differential Test: Ensure differential pressure across the check is 1.0 psi or above.
  • Air Inlet - Vent Opening: The air inlet must start to open at 1.0 psi and be fully open at atmospheric pressure.
Warranty: The product is warranted to be free from defects for one year from the date of shipment. The warranty covers replacement or reconditioning but excludes incidental or consequential damages.
Service and Replacement Parts: Internal parts can be serviced without removing the valve from the piping. Specific kits are available for different sizes, including check kits and bonnet kits.
