Review on 🚰 Homewerks Worldwide VACBFPZ4B Vacuum Breaker Hose Bib Backflow Preventer: Secure Your Water System with 3/4 Inch Brass Finish by Casey Narcisse

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So Far So Good: Rough Plumbing

I didn't buy them for what they are used for, I use them in my drip irrigation system to replace the cheap plastic bottles they sell you. Those brass grommets should last a lot longer, but take the included grommets and toss them straight in the trash and buy some nice red rubber grommets instead. A broken screw also ends up in the garbage, stupid rules like in SA are stupid. Let people make their own fucking decisions in life. In CA all new homes must have one of these installed on each outside hose bib and you will fail the test if that stupid screw is misplaced and broken. So for those of you who don't want to throw them away to remove them, just screw them in a turn or two and rip them off. If you then need to take this thing off to replace the gasket, you don't have to destroy it and/or the bib . The examiner only sees that it is installed and the set screw has broken off and does not unscrew it.

Pros
  • COMPATIBILITY: ΒΎ inch threaded outlet is compatible with most standard hose and end valves including hose bibs, window sills, wall fittings and garden hoses.
Cons
  • Negative Impression
