Hi Guys -
I just finished installing a hand shower and had had some issues with the vacuum breaker. Every time I tightened the breaker to the supply elbow with the washer included, the washer would compress down against the slits, and would prevent the water from coming through the breaker.
I have everything working now without the washer. All of the connections were Teflon taped. Is the washer necessary? If so, do you know why it keeps getting forced against the openings?
Thanks,
Derek
