Changing the Vacuum breaker on a T-550 

This was the video I needed. I went to ACE Hardware, the clerk sent me to a vacuum cleaner store, lol. I decided not to leave and just hung around looking in the plumbing aisle and finally found the right part. Thanks!

Exactly the video I was looking for. My outdoor spigot was leaking at the anti-siphon location and I thought I'd have to replace the entire spigot ... cut old one out at solder point and then solder a new one to the main line. Thank you for sharing this expense-saving & time-saving video. No nonsense, just very concise and short .. exactly how these helpful videos should always be.

Thanks Boss!! Did what you said and BOOM done. Mine was just spraying/leaking, didn't need to replace anything. The rubber washer inside was off center. Thanks again!!!

That was much easier than I expected! Didn't even have to shut the water off. Thanks for posting this.

Your video ws short, clear and just what I needed. Went right out, got the part and repair completed. Thanks for doing this for all of us non-plumbers!

Clear, concise and informative. Excellent presentation. You undoubtedly saved me a great deal of time and frustration. Thank You!

Thank you for saving me a big plumbers bill. I can’t believe I had my spigot leaking for many years!

This was exactly the video I was looking for, and it worked. Thank you!

This was very helpful, had to go to 3 stores to find a kit but problem solved. Thank you.

Thank you! This was incredibly helpful!

Thanks for a simple to the point video 1:03

Is there any way to just permanently close that top hole? I didn't use my outside faucet for like 4 years because it leaked from the top and I couldn't use it with a hose. I finally got it fixed and then never used it for another 2 years and when I went to use it, it was as leaky as it ever was because the heat out here in the desert destroyed it I guess.

Thank you so much....I did it😊

Thank you very much

thank you

Thank you

Thanks a lot

Great video. This is probably a silly question but should the dust cap be as tight as you can go by hand, or left a bit loose? Does it matter either way…any benefit to keeping it loose? I noticed my original dust cap was a bit loose so I tightened it up but was wondering if that looseness was intention for some reason. Thanks.

It seems I have a Mueller sillicock. Got a replacement from Home Depot and Amazon but the threads are like an eight of an inch too big. Can’t seem to find the correct replacement part. Thoughts?

Can you please share the link for this exact part ?

The plastic body that screws into the thread broke off on my original faucet...how do I get it out of the threading to replace? Thx!

To do this do you need to shut off the main water??

thanks for the quick but well done video, I have a quick question for you, do i have to have a vacuum break on these valves, i picked up one from Canadian tire and it does not have vacuum breaker on it , what is the benefit of having this, is there any issue without this, please advise?

Does the water need to be turned off to the fixture first?

Where can I get these parts?
