This prevents contamination should the public drinking water system's pressure drop. vacuum breaker typically contains a plastic disc that is pressed forward by water supply pressure, and covers small vent holes.
Pressure vacuum breaker assemblies (PVBA) are used to protect water supplies from contamination or pollution. Irrigation backflow devices are designed for installation on potable water lines to protect against both back siphonage and back pressure of contaminated water into the potable water supply.ressure Vacuum Breaker Assemblies. Pressure vacuum breaker assemblies (PVBA) are the most frequently used and inexpensive type of whole-system backflow preventer device. The benefits of this type of sprinkler backflow prevention valve are its low cost and simplicity. PVBAs are easy to install, maintain, and repair.
