Pipe Interrupters Type DC257

DC Pipe Interrupters provide Fluid Category 5 backsiphonage protection (vacuum on the supply).  DC Pipe Interrupters are intended for open outlet applications (e.g. urinal flushing) and must not be used for washing machines, upstream of hose union taps or any appliance that has a control valve or restriction.  Negligible restriction should exist downstream – otherwise water would ultimately discharge through the vent holes.
