The code he is referring is "P2804.7 Vacuum-relief valve" and is referenced below. I attached a picture...

    Fine thread adapter for hose bib with integral vacuum breaker

    I found the pictured hose bib on the back of a stand-alone garage built shortly before we purchased our property in 2017. I've lived with it, but finally decided to swap it our for the correct fixture so I could add a pressure regulator and stop bursting the leader hose to the timer. I...

    Thermal expansion tank and vacuum breaker

    Arrowhead PK1390 Vacuum Breaker for hosebib. Not being shipped.

    Arrowhead is way behind shipping the vacuum breaker replacements for the BK1390. Everywhere I went in the Seattle area, they were backordered. This is what they look like. It's a fine thread on the top, and a hose thread at the bottom. For now, it looks like I will be replacing the entire...
