Questions about this item
What pipe thread do I need on my existing supply line for the 3/4 in MNPT connection to seal properly?
You need a matching 3/4 in female NPT thread so the male MNPT end of the vacuum breaker can screw in and seal with thread tape or pipe dope.
Will the brass body and 150 psi rating handle the pressure spikes from my older well pump without leaking?
The brass construction and 150 psi maximum pressure rating are designed for typical residential supply pressures; normal well-pump cycles fall well within that limit.
After installation, how can I confirm the vacuum breaker is actually preventing back-siphonage?
With water flowing, shut off the downstream valve; you should hear a distinct click as the internal check seat opens to atmosphere, breaking the vacuum.
