Review: Does the job - Worked as advertised. The old one is about two years old and leaded water profusely. I took it off and found that the gasket had gotten compressed and brittle. Unfortunately, even after replacing it, the was would still pour out when the shower was turned on. I then placed it in a cup of vinegar for an hour. That helped, but still some water was leaking out. I have left it in vinegar for overnight. That should fix it, but I had not bothered to test it, since I now have a new one.
Review: Meets the requirements - Many cities require these to be installed between the lookout nipple on the wall of the shower and the hand-held shower head. You simply screw the fitting onto the hose and then screw this combination onto the connection at the wall. This prevents any water or any other liquid (I.E. chemicals that might be in a bucket, etc.) from getting sucked back into the water supply if the hand-held shower head were to be immersed in something bad and someone creates a suction on a lower level of the home. This is priced about right, and is good quality. Even if it's not required by code, not a bad idea to install one on your hand-held shower heads.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where does this connect? Does it go at the base of the sprayer?**
A: Hello, The vacuum breaker goes onto your wall-outlet. The hose then connects to the vacuum breaker.

**Q: 5 year old slide bar shower head.  Leaks where wall hose swivel meets the hose.  shoould I use  use of double check valve, anti syphone,valve**
A: I am assuming that you have a vacuum break between the wall water outlet and the hose itself (required by code where I live).  My guess is the vacuum break has worn out and needs to be replaced.  To test this, just unscrew the hose and then unscrew the vacuum breaker, and then screw the hose directly to the water outlet....assuming that you have the rubber washer in place, the leak should be gone.  So all you need to replaced would be the vacuum breaker.  5 years is about right as I have just submitted my request to Hansgrohe to get ours replaced for the same reason (Hansgrohe has a limited lifetime warranty on their vacuum breakers).

**Q: Does this come with any documentation to prove it meets asme 112.18 to prevent back-flows?**
A: This is not a check valve or back flow preventer. It is simply a vacuum breaker which allows air in so that you can drain the hose if you hold the hand-held shower down so that it can drain.

**Q: What thread size for the inlet side and outlet side, and is it NTP?**
A: It’s 1/2” NPT, female inlet, male outlet the same as your shower head/hose.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meets a need
*by S***L on November 27, 2013*

Easy to install, solidly made, and worked with my Delta showerhead with spray arm. Not sure it was actually needed as the tub would have to be completely full for the spray arm to be in the water, but it's up to code now.
