Protecting a water supply from backflow, this vacuum breaker rubber repair part renews the sealing element in a vacuum breaker so it keeps doing its job -- admitting air to break a siphon and stop contaminated water from being drawn back into the clean supply. The rubber part is the wear component that hardens, tears, or clogs over time and causes a vacuum breaker to leak or fail its anti-siphon function; dropping in a fresh part restores reliable backflow protection. Matched to the 551A vacuum breaker, it is a low-cost repair that avoids replacing the whole device. It is the correct-fit rubber repair for keeping a vacuum breaker in service and the water supply protected.
