Vacuum Breaker Screw Broken, Stuck on Hose Faucet - Removal Tips

Outside faucet (sillcocks) vacuum breakers have a set bolt. Hard to remove.
mrhardware.com...
To prevent theft, improper removal or tampering of the vacuum breaker they come with a ‘break-off’ screw. After threading the vacuum breaker on the faucet the installer tightens the ‘set-bolt’ until it breaks off so it is secured to prevent removal. This is great until the device fails and you need to remove it.
This video details the removal of the ‘set bolt’ using two drill bits, a small one (3/32) to get a pilot hole into the center of the ‘set bolt’. This is the hard part because the brass around it is softer than the steel and if you get off center and into the brass you will have to saw it off.
Once the pilot hole is complete, be sure to stop when you feel the change in the drill and it contacts the threads of the sillcock.
With a pilot hole complete use an 11/64 drill bit to remove the body of the ‘set bolt’ remembering to stop when you feel the sillcock below.
If drilling out the old ‘set bolt’ is not possible you can take a hacksaw with a 24 tooth blade and cut at an angle across the vacuum breaker stopping just as you are seeing the threads of the sillcock below.
Usually you can see the color change by stopping and checking the bottom of the cut made by the saw.
Then I take a slotted screwdriver, bigger the better, inserted into the cut and pry against the brass.
Typically the soft brass will break allowing you to unthread the remaining vacuum breaker without ruining the sillcock.
I suggest when purchasing a new vacuum breaker you get a stainless steel 5mm set screw (all the ones I have worked on use a 5mm screw but there may be others that use a different size) and replace the break-off bolt with the set screw.

This video is just what I was looking for. My house is 25 years old and both the front and back yard vacuum breakers needed to be replaced. The first one went like a charm drilling out the left over pin; of course the second one inside the garage was a little more challenging and I ended up drilling all around the pin and breaking it out that way. Thanks again!

This is a great video. I went through this situation twice. The first I called a plumber because I damaged the thread removing the vacuum breaker. Second time I saw your video, in my case the screw was looking backward, so I had to turn the vacuum breaker a little bit towards me. The small drill bit lost its tip. The second was broken. I ended up using a bigger one directly and worked just fine. Thanks!

Thanks for this video it helped me remove a broken vacuum breaker with a rusted screw. I was afraid to attempt drilling it but the process went smoothly. It's important when wrenching it off to brace the spigot so you don't turn the spigot as well when you remove the breaker.

@timothyhedrick5295 2 жыл бұрын

There is another older and somewhat less-common type of these VBs that do not use a break-off set screw, but instead use an internal spring to "permanently" lock the VB onto the bibb. In that case, all you can do is cut through the VB on both sides of the faucet and remove it like a clam shell. I found using a dremel tool with a metal cutting disk gave me a lot more control than a hacksaw and made pretty quick work of it without leaving a mark on the faucet or the faucet's threads. Thanks for the tip regarding substituting a 2.5 mm hex head screw for the break-off screw on the replacement VB! I'm headed to Home Depot now.

Thank you for this video. The hardest part was getting the hole started as the bit kept wandering. I used a battery-powered drill at first, but switched to a corded drill which finished the job very quickly. I used a 5/32" drill bit for the second step. It worked fine but I had to ream the hole out a bit with the larger bit. I used a few drops of oil to extend the life of the drill bits. The threads on the hose bib were in good shape except for a dent from the set screw. Since hoses seal with rubber washers, the thread damage isn't a concern.

Much thanks. I was able to put some "Blaster" spray on the broken off screw, and enough was sticking out that I could grab it and unscrew it with a good pair of pliers.

My "Plan B" was the hack saw since the screw was in a bad place for the drill option. Thanks again.

Going to the store to get a dremel to try to cut down to the threads. I'm also ordering a 5mm set screw slotted for an allen key next time around.

Excellent video! In my case the valve was just inside the garage door and only a couple inches from a corner. The broken off set screw was in the back and not accessible to drill. I ended up using a pipe and monkey wrench to muscle the vacuum breaker around just enough to expose the set screw for drilling. Hope there isn't too much thread damage. I wonder how necessary this device really is, especially when the garage is 1 and 2 floors below the living space?

In my opinion it’s insurance companies on the building code boards trying to make sure none of us can hurt ourselves so they don’t have to pay settlements. In an extremely rare instance poison could be drawn into your house plumbing system from a hose attached to the valve.

@danya822 Жыл бұрын

@@MrHardware1I enjoyed the video, and learned a lot! Perhaps I'm missing something, but as I see it, only if you completely submerged the hose end in poison, had the spigot turned on, lost water pressure, AND somehow the water system pulled a vacuum, all at the same time, could anything ever be pulled back into the house plumbing. That is so incredibly unlikely that the cost cannot outweigh the benefit (for the multitudes of homeowners).
