Pressure Bleed Device

Provides backflow prevention for the ASSE Standard 1055

The Pressure Bleed Device prevents damage to any upstream backflow protection device which is not rated for continuous supply pressure.

In addition, by encouraging the user to turn off the faucet because of the visible flow of water, the device prevents hot/cold water cross contamination.
