Ensuring compliance and safeguarding public health, the hose tap vacuum breaker is a non-negotiable component for every plumbing installation in New Zealand. As mandated by Clause G12 Water Supplies of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) and detailed in Acceptable Solution G12/AS1, these devices are essential for preventing back-siphonage and protecting potable water supplies from contamination – even from "low hazard" connections such as outdoor hose taps.

For plumbers, the diligent selection and installation of compliant hose tap vacuum breakers is crucial for upholding professional standards and delivering critical backflow prevention, ensuring all work meets the stringent requirements of the NZBC for water supply integrity.
