Why is there air in the plumbing system?
to increase pressure so the water flows and doesent go stale
What is a vacuum breaker?
A vacuum breaker is a mechnical device used to avoid backflow or a negative pressure in a plumbing system. It typically consists of an air valve with a spring holding it closed. When the pressure within the system is positive, the valve remains closed. When the pressure is negative (less than atmospheric), the negative pressure overcomes the force of the spring holding the valve closed and the it opens, typically allowing normal atmospheric air to enter the system, thereby eliminating the negative pressure. Otherwise, the negative pressure might cause backflow of the plumbing system. ...

When using water to test a drainage system the maximum feet of head allowed is?
most plumbing codes require 10' of head for testing purposes. Maximum head pressure would depend on pressure rating of pipe & fittings used.

How many pounds of freon presure in the ac system for a 2009 avalanche?
The pressure on the low side should be between 35 to 45 psi and the high side should be between 200 to 250 psi depending on the outside temperature............... The amount of freon (R134a) for a completely emptied system will be 3.0 pounds for a dual system and 2.0 pounds for a single system............
