Arrow-Breaker®

The patented Arrow-Breaker® technology is the only fully integrated valve that provides backflow prevention without an add-on device.

Increases flow rate and improved pressure

Reduced cost per unit compared to valves with add-on devices prevents water hammer – banging pipes – caused by other anti-siphon devices

A permanent protection device that cannot be removed

O-Ring Seals

O-Ring Seals

For over 10-years, Arrowhead Brass has been utilizing the high-quality O-ring seal design on almost all of our products. The majority of other valve manufacturers continue to use graphite or “PTFE” packing rings that require a two-piece bonnet and packing nut design, leading to constant maintenance and may develop leaks. The Arrowhead Brass O-ring design eliminates the two-part design with a single O-ring seal bonnet. Advantages of this exclusive design include:

No packing nut adjustments

No-leak bonnet seal around the stem

Smoother operation

Backward compatible with all vintage Arrowhead Brass products
