SAE 45-degree Flare Fittings for Winterizing Backflow Preventer and Pressure Vacuum Breaker

The package includes Schrader valve to 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" Female SAE 45° Flare Fittings. These fittings are perfect for connecting an air compressor or bike tire pump to a backflow preventer valve, especially for winterization purposes or any situation requiring Schrader valve to female SAE 45° flare fittings. Schrader valves are commonly used in car and bicycle tires, while backflow preventers or pressure vacuum breakers (PVB) are typically found in underground sprinkler systems. The packaging is reusable and includes a detailed procedure for winterizing a backflow preventer using compressed air and a bicycle tire pump.

Please note that backflow preventers usually have either male SAE 45° Flare or female NPT connections. The fittings in this package are designed to fit male SAE 45° Flare connections only and will not work with female NPT connections. Make sure to check your backflow preventer before making a purchase to ensure compatibility.

To prioritize health and safety, this brass fitting is made of lead-free brass containing less than 0.25% lead. While lead-free brass costs approximately 30% more to produce than regular brass, it is known for being harder, stronger, and more durable. Always remember to wear safety goggles when handling or using compressed air to prevent any accidents.

This heavy-duty winterization tool is crafted from a solid lead-free brass casting, ensuring quality and longevity. If you are looking for a reliable tool that will stand the test of time, look no further!
