Toro PVB:
The PVB arrived in a timely manner and was exactly what I was expecting with no surprises. Installed as easily as it looks (be sure to pay attention to the water flow directional arrow) and works fine.
Toro:
This product was recieved and installed. I overtightned it during installation and it broke, Toro's Customer Service department sent a replacement part free of charge, this was great. It works perfectly.Toro 1-Inch Pressure Vacuum Breaker #53300
Work's well:
I have an old irrigation system with a part that looked just like this that wore out. I was able to replace the old one with the new one in minutes with basic tools.
consider comparably priced metal valves:
I used this valve for a sprinkler system in Minnesota and forgot one winter to bleed the valve completely and it cracked. After ordering the replacement, I was unable to easily install it (it's a long story but lets just say that plumbing is not my strong point). After contacting a plumber to install the new valve, he politely suggested using an all-metal valve in lieu of this plastic one - which would meet code - and it costs the same buying direct from him as I paid for the toro valve.
