IAPMO Uniform Plumbing Code
How it Works
Series SC8 is a combination hose bibb with separate tamper-
proof vacuum breaker - to be attached after installation. Under
normal conditions, the inner diaphragm opens to permit gener-
ous flow, while the circumferential diaphragm closes the air
vents.
Should supply pressure drop and a backflow begin, the inner
diaphragm immediately closes to prevent backflow into the
main line, while the circumferential diaphragm opens the air
vents to break the vacuum.
