Vacuum Breakers & Receiver Plates

Shampoo Bowl Vacuum Breakers & Receiver Plates

A vacuum breaker is a one way valve backflow prevention that prevents contaminated water from mixing with the fresh city water supply. It is used to counteract water and negative pressure in a plumbing system. It prevents perm solution, color chemicals, and neutralizers from going back into the city's water. Vacuum Breakers are often required by municipal water codes.  A receiver plate is needed to fasten a spray hose or a vacuum breaker / spray hose combination to a shampoo bowl.
