EastmanVacuum Breaker Repair Kit, 45417

fit perfectly!

Was concerned after reading some reviews before I ordered this. Delivered in 1 day , easy to install, faucet works like brand new. No leaks. Highly recommend and will definitely buy a spare

Perfect fit, works great

It works for the most part. Took several tries to get it to line up correctly to stop the leaking. Just make sure not to over tighten it or you risk breaking it. Gave it 4 stars because mine still drips albeit very slowly from the seal. I just gave up after 11 or so attempts because it was better than not having one on it at all.

Fits well and works great!

I have a 'matching' faucet that looks exactly like the others reported here, but the new valve leaks after installation... Like others I'm replacing a vacuum breaker whose plastic vent cover simply disintegrated from sun and weather exposure after 15+ years. The pop-up valve itself still worked correctly - no leaks, but I wanted to replace it with one that had a nice metal vent cap so I would not have to worry about it for another 15+ years.Unfortunately, the new design with the screw-on vent cap does not work with my spigot. Where the old top washer that seals the valve frame to the spigot had a 'flat' profile and a suitable 'thread free' section in which the washer sits, the new valve uses a true 'O' ring and there is no 'thread free' slot for the 'O' ring to expand into for a leak-free fit. The female thread portion of the spigot itself has a flat top profile. Perhaps if the old faucet had a slightly curved profile, the new 'O' ring style might have properly sealed. For now I'm going to see if I can find a suitable plastic medicine bottle cap to slip over the old style valve. Really the cap is only needed to protect the nylon frame and rubber washers from exposure to the UV sun rays from deterioration.

I bought this kit to repair the vacuum pieces on my outdoor frost free faucet. Turns out, the only piece that fit was the small "washer" that pops up in the center. The cap had different thread, the vacuum piece had different threads and were not usable. But the problem was the wornout pop up. So, I used my old cap, old vacuum piece and the new pop up and my leak was fixed. If you can find the pop up separately, you can save some money. But bottom line.....my faucet doesn't leak anymore.

This was perfect for my repair and easy to install. Great value, durable, and fits great. Hand-tight and no leaks. My hose faucet was leaking due to a freeze and this part was just what I needed. I think there are different thread sizes out there, but this one was what I needed for a new home.
