Conbraco 38-202-RK Repair Kit

When you are dealing with leaking atmospheric vacuum breakers, a full valve replacement often isn't necessary. The Conbraco 38-202-RK Repair Kit is the professional solution for servicing Apollo 38-200 series valves in the 1/4" and 3/8" sizes. This kit includes the critical internal components—specifically the D-4460 seat disc, I-8551 polypropylene float, F-3754 cap, and D-3902 cap O-ring—required to restore the anti-siphon functionality of the unit. These OEM backflow repair parts are designed to handle the atmospheric venting and check-valve sealing necessary to prevent back-siphonage of non-potable water into the clean supply. For technicians, maintaining these brass-bodied valves is essential after winter freezes or typical seal degradation. Ensure your backflow preventer maintenance complies with ASSE 1001 standards by utilizing this specific 38202RK kit. This kit is built for non-continuous pressure applications where protection against cross-connection contamination is mandatory. Verified compatibility with 38-201 and 38-202 models allows for a quick field fix without pulling the entire manifold.

• OEM Precision: Includes genuine Apollo/Conbraco parts to ensure exact tolerances and reliable sealing under vacuum conditions.
• Internal Component Refresh: Features a high-grade silicone rubber seat disc and polypropylene float for chemical and heat resistance.
• Simplified Field Repairs: Designed for rapid installation; simply remove the cover screw and nameplate to access the internal stack.
• Cost-Effective Compliance: Eliminates the need for expensive brass body replacement while maintaining system backflow prevention safety.
• Specific Sizing: Engineered specifically for the 1/4" and 3/8" NPT 38-200 series atmospheric vacuum breakers.

Can this repair kit be used for backpressure conditions?
No, the 38-200 series and this 38-202-RK kit are strictly for atmospheric vacuum breaker applications. They are designed to prevent back-siphonage only and cannot be subjected to backpressure or continuous pressure for more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period.

What are the signs that my vacuum breaker needs this repair kit?
The most common symptoms are water leaking from under the canopy or the vent failing to open when the supply pressure drops. This often indicates a fouled seat disc or a cracked float, both of which are replaced by components in this kit.

Is this kit compatible with other Conbraco series valves?
This kit is specifically sized for the 1/4" and 3/8" 38-200 series. For larger 1/2" or 3/4" valves, you should utilize the 38-203-RK or 38-204-RK respectively to ensure proper mechanical fit and flow capacity.
