Pressure Model Vacuum Breaker 1/2” NPT (DN15)
Size Direction Type
Many times, condensate will be retained ahead of steam traps because of the
presence of a vacuum. To break a vacuum, air must be introduced into the system
300 ICS 8 R** NPT by means of a vacuum breaker.

For maximum protection against freezing and water hammer in condensing

equipment under modulated control, vacuum breakers are recommended.
Armstrong ICS Series F&T Traps are available with integral vacuum breakers.

CAUTION: Do not use a conventional vacuum breaker open to the atmosphere

in any system that incorporates a mechanical return system that carries pressure
D less than atmospheric pressure. This includes all return systems designated as
C vacuum returns, variable vacuum returns or subatmospheric returns. If a vacuum
breaker must be installed in such a system, it should be of the type that is loaded to
open only when the vacuum reaches a calibrated level well in excess of the design
characteristics of the system.
