Vacuum breakers are crucial components installed on plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems to mitigate the risk of backflow, effectively preventing contaminated water from infiltrating the clean water supply. They achieve this by introducing air into the system during a pressure drop. Common installation locations include the mouth of outdoor faucets, above sprinkler valves in irrigation systems, on laboratory equipment, and within high-rise building water systems, ensuring the integrity of water quality across various applications.
