Press Release Body: Los Angeles, CA, August 11, 2008 -- Champion-Arrowhead is proud
to introduce the Arrow-BreakerT, the first product to offer a full solution to an
age old problem: hose bibbs and hydrants with vacuum breakers. The Arrow-BreakerT
utilizes new, patented technology that integrates the function of a "thread-on"
vacuum breaker into the hose bib and hydrant itself.

No longer:

does the plumbing industry have to tolerate customer complaints of low flow,
spitting or bulbous looking backflow preventer

will plumbers have to install wall hose bibs and wall hydrants only to come back
again after texturing and painting to add vacuum breakers or to replace them because
of clogs

will inspectors have to red tag a building because the backflow preventer are
clogged with debris or missing

will inspectors have to worry that the backflow preventer will be removed shortly
after they are installed.

will customers and contractors have to deal with low flow rates from their hoses and
attachments

The Arrow-BreakerT was voted best new product of 2007 by the Irrigation Association
at its show in December

Homeowners will prefer the Arrow-BreakerT because:

Three year warranty

Compact size, no "thread-on" vacuum breaker addition; better aesthetics

100% (double) more flow rate than units with "thread-on" vacuum breakers

Eliminates noise during operation because of increased flow

Made in USA - Exceptional quality, made from high quality red brass, not cheap
Chinese yellow brass

Revolutionary design reduces water hammer

Three year warranty

Does not "spit" or splash like most "thread-on" vacuum breakers

Arrowhead Brass quality and reliability

Inspectors will prefer Arrow-BreakerT because:

Plainly marked with large orange tag indicating approvals

Integral vacuum breaker design prevents removal after installation

Meets all applicable codes

No water hammer

IAPMO and ASSE 1011 & 1019 approved

Contractors will prefer Arrow-BreakerT because:

Plumbing installations can be completed in one pass (no need to return to the job
site) as the porting holes are covered when the Arrow BreakerT is off so plaster,
paint and stucco is not a problem

Costs less than buying a hose bib/hydrant and vacuum breaker separately

No call backs or failed inspections due to removal and complaints

No assembly needed

Quality construction made from high quality red brass - Made in USA

Manufactured by Champion-Arrowhead, a quality company with a reputation of
innovative quality for over 70 years

Fewer customer complaints because it is made to work

Better flow rates with over 15 GPM at 50 psi

Champion-Arrowhead ships all Arrow-BreakersT with a bright orange tag so that
everyone [inspectors, plumbers and homeowners] know that there is an integrated
vacuum breaker. It has to be cut off so that it stays with the product through
inspection.

Arrow-BreakerT hydrants, bibbs and sillcocks are manufactured in ½" and ¾" sizes
with all the traditional connections including male & female IPS pipe thread, copper
sweat, copper compression and PEX. Champion-Arrowhead has also added a SharkBite®
connection in both ½" and ¾" sizes for Sillcock and Frost Free versions of their
product. Arrow-BreakerT is now available in all configurations at most distributors.
