Chicago Faucets 892-WXFABCP
The Chicago Faucets 892-WXFABCP is a commercial-grade, wall-mounted elevated atmospheric vacuum breaker assembly designed to provide dependable cross-connection control and backflow prevention. Engineered specifically for clean, professional architectural aesthetics, this unit features a concealed piping layout that routes raw plumbing connections behind the finished wall, exposing only the functional hardware and a premium chrome plated finish. In demanding commercial and institutional facilities—including school laboratories, hospital sanitation wards, public airports, and food service kitchens—sudden drops in main line pressure can create severe vacuum siphons. By venting the plumbing loop to the atmosphere the moment pressure falters, this safety assembly successfully prevents non-potable liquids, chemical fluids, or contaminated water from back-siphoning into the potable water infrastructure.
Constructed from heavy-duty cast brass using Chicago Faucets' signature ECAST design, this assembly contains a weighted average lead content of 0.25% or less. This strict low-lead compliance satisfies rigorous national public health requirements, making it safe and legally compliant for drinking water systems in any region. The system is built around a standard 1/2-inch NPT female thread outlet and straight WXF supply arms with 1/2-inch NPT female thread inlets, which are reinforced by a 2-inch inlet supply arm configuration and a structural wall flange for rock-solid mounting rigidity. As an atmospheric safety valve, it is engineered for non-continuous, low-pressure applications and must be installed downstream of the primary control valve without any subsequent shut-off restrictions. Choosing this genuine factory assembly ensures total code compliance, simplifies routine maintenance, and delivers industrial-grade physical durability.
