Apollo 3820401 Vacuum Breaker

The Apollo 3820401 vacuum breaker installs on a 3/4 inch FNPT connection to stop back-siphonage in plumbing systems. Its brass body and silicone seal handle water up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit and 125 psi working pressure. The unit meets ASSE 1001-2008 requirements for point-of-use protection.

Upgrade from unprotected outlets

Replaces an open hose bibb or faucet that has no anti-siphon device, adding code-compliant protection where a hose can be left submerged. The jump is worth it when local plumbing codes require a listed vacuum breaker on every threaded outlet.

Sustained pressure and temperature

Brass construction resists corrosion during continuous exposure to potable water at the rated 125 psi. Silicone seals maintain elasticity through repeated thermal cycles up to the 212 degree maximum. The compact 3 inch height and 2 inch width fit tight mechanical rooms without stressing adjacent piping.

Questions about this item

What thread size and type does the 3/4 in FNPT vacuum breaker need to mount?

It uses a 3/4 inch female national pipe thread connection, so it screws directly onto a matching male NPT fitting without extra adapters.

Which step is often missed when installing the brass vacuum breaker with a silicone seal?

Applying thread sealant or tape to the male NPT threads before tightening is the step most often skipped, and it prevents leaks at the joint.

When should the internal silicone seal be inspected or replaced on this ASSE 1001-2008 device?

Check the silicone seal annually or if you see water dripping from the vent, since the seal degrades over time and with repeated 212 °F exposure.
