The Apollo® Series Atmospheric Type Vacuum Breakers are designed to prevent back-siphonage of polluted water into a potable water system. They should only be installed in areas where spillage of water could not cause damage and where it can be accessible for periodic maintenance. These devices are not designed for continuous pressure application (maximum 12 hours in any 24 hour period). Should be installed a minimum of 6" above all downstream piping with no downstream shutoffs. During flow conditions, the flow of water lifts the float disc and seals the atmospheric vent at all rates of flow, preventing leakage. When a negative pressure is created at the supply line or when the water supply valve upstream of the device is closed, the float disc will fall, thus opening the atmospheric vent. This prevents back-siphonage and creation of vacuum at the discharge line.
