~SPGTM-5 Vacuum Breaker Adapter~ for New Arrowhead ABP 59BFP Adapters & 255BFP or 355BFP Anti-Siphon Hose Bibs to Make a Straight Through Connection for Your Garden Hose or Timer

It is easy to install, but you do need to follow the installations instructions carefully to remove the old vacuum breaker. After that the Spigot Master installs very quickly and easily. This is a well thought out device that works perfectly. Very well machined and a perfect fit. I have recommended this to several friends since I bought my first one several years ago. That one worked very well and this one does too.

This is a great quality product but what has me writing this review is the OUTSTANDING support from the seller. Let me explain. I researched and ordered the adapter I determined would fit my needs. Within minutes of my order I was contacted by the seller asking if I was sure of the model I needed since it was an unpopular model. Rob proceeded to ask for a picture of my faucet as the manufacturer had made a change to their spec in the last couple of years. He ended up sending me a different model due to further research. The product was even shipped with a note from the seller with his phone number on it just in case it didn’t fit my faucet. Support like that is hard to find but greatly appreciated!

Product was exactly what I needed and works fantastic. Rob made sure I had the correct part before shipping it. He told me what I needed to do to install it correctly. Great USA company. Worth every penny. You may be able to save a few pennies but the headaches are not worth the savings. Highly recommend this product and service.

Finally, this is exactly what I was looking for. Hard to find so it might be worth the price. Seller put a nice note to call him first if it was the wrong size but it fit perfectly. Thanks.

The product it self is a 5-star rating, however the price is a bit unreasonable, thus the 4-star. I had searched high and low for this adapter. We have Arrowhead/Champion frost free hydrants (bibs) on our home that came equipped with "permanent" almost non-serviceable anti-backflow devices attached via a uncommon thread. The anti-backflow devices actually negated the drain feature of the valve causing them to hold water in the dry barrel portion. The devices leaked and would create a huge mess. Thanks to these adapters the headaches are gone, the water drains and the bib does not leak. Installation was a little involved. Arrowhead used red thread locker to secure the anti-back flow device and the simplest means is to heat it with a torch. I would recommend heat a little then test with channel locks or a pipe wrench. Too much heat could ruin the packing on the valve stem or un-sweating the bib is very possible (the bibs are sweated together at the factory). After removing the offending device, cleaning off the old thread locker with a metal brush is a good idea. When installing the adapter I used the old rubber washer (seemed better quality) and applied blue thread locker to keep the item in place when removing hoses. The make more clearance, I removed the faucet handle as well for better access. Great product that solves a bureaucratic dilemma.

I have an arrowhead faucet in the back of the house and it leaked constantly. It was like playing a"dodge the water spray" game everytime I had to water my lawn. No matter what I did this modified contraption on the faucet always leaked. Ne gaskets? Leaked. Tighten it up? Leaked.... Try to deflect he water? It would come out a different direction like it had a mind of its own. I had never seen one of these on all of the houses I had lived. Then I looked up and found out that I had an Arrowhead spigot. Who in the hell would put something like this garbage on a house? Do they get kickbacks from Arrowhead? Then I found out the backflow preventer has a long history of leaking and breaking internally. What adamn racket! Luckily I found this Spigotmaster adapter online. I was weary. I mean it's a simple adapter but there are two different sizes. I was very careful to order the right size for the backyard. It arrived in only a couple of days and was very easy to put on. Not problems. No leaking and the previous flow restriction was no longer there like with the old backflow garbage. My sprinkler could cover more area. I loved it so much that I went onto Amazon and did the "reorder" option. Got the new one in the mail in about two days. I felt like a kid at Christmas. I couldn't wait to put it on. OMG it was going to be spectacular.And.... Wouldn't you know it that, when I went to the front yard to install it, it's a different Arrowhead spigot design and of course a different size of threads... ugh. It didn't fit... It was like Arrowhead was getting back at me one last time.... I will prevail. Oh yes... I will prevail. I will order another (although it's a good additional $20 out of my pocket) I plan on doing it just so I can be victorious over this oppressive spigot monopoly that continues to dash my lawn watering dreams, while soaking the side of my house and my shoes/pants...
