How to fix anti-siphon valve on an outdoot faucet hydrant silcock. Vacuum Valve Replacement Parts amzn.to/2RXrN87 Vacuum Valve Replacement amzn.to/2TnUibE
Thank you. First video to come up, it was immediately clear that it addressed my problem and showed me how to solve it. TH-cam at its best! Now a new subscriber.
Thanks, I fixed mine. For the ASSE 1019-A I found the parts at my Ace hardware. The O ring is 1 1/16" O.D. x 7/8" I.D. The flat washer is 15//32" O.D. Less than $2 for the repair.
man I love youtube! Turns out my siphon valve was jammed by the washer not seating properly. Took it apart, put it back together and voila. A working siphon valve. My bad for not removing one of my hoses from the faucet this year. Thanks for the video
WOW!!! What a valuable video. Had no idea what the thing was called but was just about to start cutting up pipes in the basement to remove and replace the entire faucet. Glad I took a moment to check the internet first. Thank you.
Thanks so much for posting this information. I was able to determine that the little float in the anti-siphon mechanism was crooked/jammed (due to freezing). Thanks to your video I was able to get it sorted out in minutes. In case people are not familiar with these faucets, you must remove the hose so that the water can drain out of the faucet to prevent freezing. The installer never advised us of this, and it seems to have caused our malfunction. Cheers!
The local store didn't have the kits, so I just bought new "O" rings for my three faucets. $1.50 and they work like new. The old "O" rings were brittle and 2 were broken so I bought the really expensive ones. Thank you.
Thank you for this great video. I went to my local Home Depot and bought the repair kit called Vacuum Breaker Kit for $2.68+tax. I had to use a slip-joint plier to remove the old assembly. Once the old assembly was removed, I could see two cracks in the gasket just like yours. Put in the new assembly. Tighten with the slip-joint plier. Screw on the plastic cap. Tada! Fixed!
Thank you!!! I thought I needed a new value after it froze and was leaking out of the top. I followed your instructions and could see that the gasket had been pushed sideways. I was able to seat the gasket correctly and no more leaking! Fantastic video!!!!
Thank you so much. Had no idea what this was, just that it was there in the autumn and missing in the spring lol. Took a pic and looked it up with google lens, found your video and exact part I needed. You saved me a huge headache and probably $300. Thanks again! 👍👍👍
Thank you. This helped me take apart the anti-syphon part. My issue as it turned out was the rear rubber washer got stuck over the winter to the back seating. Once I pushed that in, it broke free and works fine.
Thanks! Just had all my plumbing re-done, and both outdie taps leaked from this (New) Plumber said they will stop after a while. They didn't. O-Ring was inside, not on the white plastic part. All fixed now and thanks for posting!
I know that there are a few different designs of these faucets. If you happen to have this same type and have a cracked washer, you can just purchase the washer that you need. I had this same type with a cracked washer and happened to have several spares in with my plumbing parts. It's a #00 faucet washer. In my case, I had to shave the raised numbers (00) off of the washer with a good sharp razor blade as they were allowing a small amount of water to get past. Once I did that, it was completely leak free! Thanks for the video! It was very helpful!
Excellent video. Two unit owners in my condo building had a nasty surprise because they left their hoses connected all winter this past year (thus defeating the purpose of the anti-siphon valve)... they had big floods inside their condo units after they turned their hoses on in the spring -- the copper pipe behind the hose bib and inside the wall had cracked because of freezing temperatures. So yeah you gotta remember to remove your hose before freezing weather sets in. But now I am wondering if I should pre-emptively replace my vacuum breaker? It doesn't leak like in this video but I definitely don't want a flood in my home! How long do these vacuum breakers last, I wonder.
Gawd I love youtube! This is exactly what I needed. My float valve was just jammed inside. The washer was in good condition. Reassembled the unit and voila! works like a charm. BTW you do NOT need to turn off the water supply to perform this operation. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for this video! Because of your clear instructions we were able to fix our leaky valve for the cost of a gasket and it only took a few minutes. And to think, we almost called a plumber!
For a simpler and way cheaper fix, assuming the plastic parts are good, just replace the bad seal. It is a 00 size faucet washer. Save 7$ thanks for the video as it led me to the solution.
This helped me ..... in my case just the O ring was shot so I decided to try using about 5 cents worth of teflon around the threads and that did the trick ... so far at least.
For those who want to try a cheaper derived solution is to get the replacement Rubber Washer (3/16 inch) for $.50-1.00 at hardware store. It works for me.
Just an FYI, you can also just replace the gasket on the check valve (the one that was cracked in your video). A lot less expensive and does the trick.
Thank you for putting this video up it's very helpful but I am coming across the problem where everything is too tight for me to untighten by hand do you have any suggestions?
On mine I used needle nosed pliers to unscrew the plastic body. just open them up until the tips lock in to two of those square slots and twist the handles of the pliers.
What this video shows is the "vacuum breaker", not an "anti-siphon valve". Vacuum breaker just drains the water from the tube that goes through your wall so that water does not freeze in the tube. More expensive units that are equipped with an anti-siphon valve prevent standing water on the ground from being sucked back up the hose and into your household water supply.
Did this fix work? I am having the same problem with mine. I spoke to the plumbing store that I bought the tap from and they said they see a lot of this. They also charged me a premium to buy what they called "the best" anti-syphon faucet.... what a crock. The thing lasted 2 years and it's buggered. It's code around here to only install these faucets and both of mine are leaking from that top valve.
Do you know what brand faucet you were using in the video? This is the brand I have but it isn't shown on the faucet and I'm trying to find replacement parts to fix the anti-siphon valve.
Actually I think I found it, If anyone else ends up needing it, the exact brand in your video is a B&K I think, and Ace Hardware has identical replacements for that valve (B&K Vacuum Breaker Repair Kit). Thanks for posting the video, without it I wouldn't have been able to track down the matching part!
ok mine burst off my outdoor faucet after the timer shut off one day and I can't get the anti siphon valve to stay on so once the water turns on it bursts the valve right back off ??? how do you fix that ??
Mine is only 6 months old and it’s leaking. Edit. I open it and the top gasket was all bent but I was able to fix it. It seems like when it was made they put it crooked and finally it started leaking.
I have this problem, but can't seem to find the right part that fits, they come in different sizes, depending on the brand.easy fix, but can't find the part

Awesome! I had no idea whatsoever to do with this problem. Your video explained all! Thank you, sir!
Thank you for the video, watering is no longer a terrible waste around the faucet!
Thank you. This helped me take apart the anti-syphon part. My issue as it turned out was the rear rubber washer got stuck over the winter to the back seating. Once I pushed that in, it broke free and works fine.
Thank you so much... 1. I didn't know what the top valve was called and 2. I almost paid for a plumber to install a new spigot.
Thanks! Just had all my plumbing re-done, and both outdie taps leaked from this (New) Plumber said they will stop after a while. They didn't. O-Ring was inside, not on the white plastic part. All fixed now and thanks for posting!
You just saved me $200. I thought I had to have a plumber replace the whole assembly. Thank you, Joe
Thank you for an awesome video. I was able to fix my old Crane faucet with the parts you used.

PERFECT! DIYer a girl homeowner can do-THANKS.
On mine I used needle nosed pliers to unscrew the plastic body. just open them up until the tips lock in to two of those square slots and twist the handles of the pliers.
Thanks, I understand the purpose of the anti-siphon valve. Just not sure how it actually works given its location on the faucet.

More expensive units that are equipped with an anti-siphon valve prevent standing water on the ground from being sucked back up the hose and into your household water supply.
Are there different sizes did you have to measure or is it for the most part one size for all of them?
I put a new flat washer in the small valve and it didn't work. Had to order a new one from Amazon.
Does the anti syphon valve have to be turned one way or another for water to come out of the spigot?
I can’t get any water to come out at all.
Thanks.
Did this fix work? I am having the same problem with mine. I spoke to the plumbing store that I bought the tap from and they said they see a lot of this.

I have a stand up hydrant outside that is leaking from the anti syphon hole at the bottom, what to do?
I can't get water out of my mind what should I do all these years and all the water valves are on
HELP Has any one had one of these faucet lose pressure. Is there a repair for that. All the other out side faucet of that type work fine.
Do you know what brand faucet you were using in the video? This is the brand I have but it isn't shown on the faucet and I'm trying to find replacement parts to fix the anti-siphon valve.

Mine is only 6 months old and it’s leaking.
Edit. I open it and the top gasket was all bent but I was able to fix it. It seems like when it was made they put it crooked and finally it started leaking.
I have this problem, but can't seem to find the right part that fits, they come in different sizes, depending on the brand.easy fix, but can't find the part
you should really disable the image stabilization for this video, otherwise great video
Alex Harvey “push the red button again”
Does this keep your water from being contaminated
I don't think it will affect water contamination one way or another.
Do you need to turn off the water in the whole house to do this??
Yes
Great video thanks for sharing video sub 75 like315
