What is a vacuum breaker and why is it needed?
Hose connection vacuum breakers (HCVB) are backflow prevention devices that attach to the hose tap outlet to protect your main water supply from back-siphonage of non-drinkable water. Backflow risk increases when the tap is used to fill a swimming pool or pond, for garden irrigation, or anywhere else where back-pressure from contaminated water can occur. Vacuum breakers are also used for rinse tanks, laboratory sinks and other industrial environments.
The term “vacuum breaker” refers to the device’s ability to prevent vacuum conditions that can suck water back into the tap.
WA law requires that all new hose taps (also known as hose cocks and bibcocks) be fitted with such a device.
As a backflow prevention device, they can only be installed by a licensed plumber. Plumbdog’s fully qualified plumbers can connect and service all types of backflow valve device and are happy to advise on their correct usage and maintenance.

What is a Vacuum Breaker, and Why is it Important?
A hose connection vacuum breaker (HCVB) is a backflow prevention device that attaches to your hose tap to protect your main water supply from the risk of back-siphonage. This is especially important when using the hose tap for tasks like filling a swimming pool, irrigating the garden, or any other activity that might cause contaminated water to flow back into your main supply. Vacuum breakers are also crucial in industrial environments like laboratories or rinse tanks.
The term “vacuum breaker” comes from the device’s ability to prevent a vacuum from forming, which could suck water back into your tap, causing contamination.
In WA, it’s required by law that all new hose taps be fitted with a vacuum breaker, ensuring safe, clean water supply. These devices can only be installed by a licensed plumber. Luckily, Plumbdog’s fully qualified plumbers are here to handle all backflow valve installations, offering expert advice on their proper use and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Greater Perth is right in our back yard and we have fully qualified plumbers throughout. We specialise in general plumbing maintenance and emergencies and turn up to every job in service vehicles bursting at the seams with stock. We also have all the gear and every idea!
Water leak detection & repairs is one of our specialties. We are one of few plumbing companies in Perth who specialise in leak detection & repairs.
Drain Cleaning & CCTV is one of our specialities. We have invested tens of thousands of dollars into our service vehicles so that we come out to our clients properties fully equipped to tackle the trickiest of blocked drains issues. Our high pressure water jetters combined with our CCTV cameras take out the guess work and allow us to clear blocked drains issues and provide long term solutions as no one wants ongoing issues.
We specialise in hot water systems and we can diagnose, repair, or replace most systems. Often our clients call on us to first inspect their system and this allows us provide recommendations and associated pricing to repair or replace their system. If a replacement is the recommended approach then by having one of our technicians onsite allows them to recommend the system which will suit your needs moving forwards rather simply replacing what was there before which is often a long term mistake. Once one of our repair or replacement options is accepted we can provide you with same day hot water as no one enjoys a cold shower.
We do not charge a callout fee. The way we work is that we send a fully qualified and experienced plumber to your property. Our plumber will meet you onsite and run through any issues you have, he will then give you his/her recommendations and associated pricing, and once you are happy to proceed with one of those recommendations he will get to work. Only if you choose not to proceed with one of his/her recommendations would we simply ask you for $125 inc GST to cover his/her time on site and we will leave you a written quote to consider in your own time.
