LeakBreaker Water Heater Shut-Off
The Taco LeakBreaker is a water heater leak pro
tection device that protects against flood damage from the containment failure of a water heater. It consists of a control unit, valve with actuator and sensor.
This resettable, testable protection device can be installed on any style water heater to shut-off the incoming water supply, preventing additional water flow to a damaged water heater. The multi-color LED light and audible alarm lets you know the status of LeakBreaker at all times.
Application
The Taco LeakBreaker is installed on the incoming cold water supply to the water heater, shutting off the water to a leaking water heater. The plumb-and-plug design is specifically engineered for use on a new or retrofit installation.

LeakBreaker can be tested anytime and then be reset to guard against a future leak.
