OPERATION
As system pressure falls sufficiently below atmospheric pressure to
compress the spring, the vacuum breaker will open, allowing air to
enter the system. The vacuum breaker is factory set to open at
approximately 2 inches Hg vacuum. It is adjustable from 1/4” to 20”
(8 - 508 mm) Hg vacuum.

INSTALLATION –
STEP 1 - Determine Where to Install the Vacuum Breaker
TYPICAL PIPING DIAGRAMS
The Model 62 vacuum breaker can be installed
vertically or horizontally. However, installing the
vacuum breaker horizontally results in fouling of
the seating surface, which prevents tight sealing.
The life of the o-ring may be increased by
installing the vacuum breaker in a standpipe
where temperatures are lower.
Adjusting the Set Point
To increase the vacuum breaker set point,
increase the spr
ing tension. To decrease the
vacuum breaker set point, decrease the spring
tension.
