The Orbit 51059 3/4-Inch Brass Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker is designed to prevent contaminants from entering the main water supply. This device is crucial for maintaining the purity of your potable water system when connected to an irrigation or sprinkler system. It operates by allowing air into the system when water pressure drops, thereby breaking any potential vacuum that could siphon contaminated water back into the supply line.
This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your atmospheric vacuum breaker. Please read all instructions carefully before installation and use.

Proper installation is critical for the effective operation of the atmospheric vacuum breaker and to comply with plumbing codes. This device must be installed correctly to prevent backflow.
- Ibi: The atmospheric vacuum breaker must be installed at least 6 inches (15 cm) above the highest point of the water outlet or sprinkler head it serves. This elevation is essential for the device to function correctly and prevent back-siphonage.
- Water Supply Shut-off: Before beginning installation, locate and turn off the main water supply to the irrigation system. Drain any residual water from the lines.
- Asopọmọra: The vacuum breaker features 3/4-inch threaded connections. Apply plumber's tape or pipe sealant to the male threads of your pipe fittings before connecting the vacuum breaker. Ensure a tight, leak-free seal.
- Iṣalaye: Install the device in an upright position, ensuring the air vent is unobstructed and facing upwards. The flow direction is typically indicated by an arrow on the body of the valve.
- Idanwo eto: Once installed, slowly turn on the main water supply. Inspect all connections for leaks. Allow the system to pressurize and then operate your sprinkler system briefly to confirm proper water flow and no leaks from the vacuum breaker.
Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ
The Orbit 51059 Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker is a passive device that operates automatically to protect your water supply. No manual operation is typically required during normal use.
- When the irrigation system is active and under pressure, the internal mechanism of the vacuum breaker remains closed, allowing water to flow through to the sprinkler heads.
- When the water supply to the irrigation system is shut off, or if there is a sudden drop in pressure, the internal air vent opens. This allows air to enter the system, breaking any vacuum that could otherwise draw contaminated water from the irrigation lines back into the potable water supply.
- Ensure the air vent is kept clear of debris to allow for proper air intake and release.
Itoju
Regular inspection and maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper function of your atmospheric vacuum breaker.
- Ayewo Igba: At the beginning of each irrigation season, inspect the vacuum breaker for any visible signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Check for leaks around the connections and the body of the unit.
- Igba otutu: In regions subject to freezing temperatures, it is essential to properly winterize your irrigation system, including the vacuum breaker. This typically involves draining all water from the system to prevent freeze damage. Consult a plumbing professional if you are unsure about proper winterization procedures for your specific setup.
- Ninu: Keep the exterior of the device clean and free from dirt or debris that could obstruct the air vent.
- Tunṣe: If the unit begins to leak or malfunction, repair kits are often available for replacing internal gaskets or components. If repairs are beyond your expertise, consult a qualified plumber.
