Watts 0792037 Vacuum Breaker
The Watts 0792037 is a 3/8-inch LF288A anti-siphon vacuum breaker designed specifically for non-potable continuous pressure applications where back-siphonage protection is critical. This lead-free atmospheric vacuum breaker features a durable brass body and a lightweight silicone disc that ensures tight seating even at low pressures. As the direct lead-free replacement for 0336390, this updated model handles a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and temperatures up to 180°F (82°C). The Watts LF288A 3/8 is essential for protecting irrigation systems, laboratory equipment, and industrial processing lines from cross-connection contamination. Its internal design minimizes pressure drop during high-flow cycles while maintaining a reliable air gap when supply pressure falls below one psi. For contractors retrofitting older systems, the 0792037 provides a drop-in solution that meets modern ASSE 1001 and CSA B64.1.1 standards for backsiphonage prevention.
Key Benefits
- Lead-Free Construction: Complies with all current federal lead-free requirements for non-potable water applications.
- High-Temperature Resilience: Engineered to withstand peak temperatures up to 180°F, making it suitable for hot water feed lines.
- Minimal Pressure Loss: Optimized internal porting ensures consistent downstream pressure for critical tool performance.
- Simplified Serviceability: The threaded bonnet allows for quick inspection of the disc and seat assembly without removing the valve from the piping.
- Standard Compliance: Fully certified to ASSE 1001 and listed by IAPMO for commercial and industrial installations.
Common Questions
Is the Watts 0792037 suitable for continuous pressure?
No, this atmospheric vacuum breaker is designed to be installed on the discharge side of the final shutoff valve. For continuous pressure applications, a pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) or reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow preventer should be utilized.
Does this model replace the older 0336390?
Yes, the 0792037 is the designated lead-free replacement for the legacy 0336390 model, featuring the same 3/8-inch NPT connections for a direct fit.
What is the minimum pressure required for the disc to seal?
The silicone disc assembly typically requires at least 1 psi of supply pressure to seal the atmospheric vent and allow water to flow to the equipment.
