Spray Cannon is a patented, snap-together plumbing accessory designed to solve the common problem of uncontrolled water spray from outdoor hose bib vacuum breakers and backflow prevention devices. Instead of letting that water blast in every direction — soaking you, your walls, and your patio — Spray Cannon redirects it into a clean, controlled stream you can aim into a bucket, watering can, or garden bed. It's made from 100% American outdoor-rated materials, manufactured in the USA, and installs in under a minute with zero tools. Whether you're a homeowner tired of getting drenched or a property manager looking to reduce water waste across multiple units, Spray Cannon is the simple, affordable fix.

If your garden hose shoots water from the spigot area every time you shut it off, you're experiencing backflow from your vacuum breaker — a small device required by modern plumbing codes (IPC, UPC, and most local building codes) on outdoor hose bibs. Vacuum breakers prevent contaminated water from being siphoned back into your home's clean water supply, which is essential for health and safety. However, the trade-off is that residual water trapped between the vacuum breaker and the hose nozzle gets expelled as an uncontrollable spray when pressure drops. This isn't a defect or broken spigot — it's working exactly as designed. Spray Cannon solves the annoying side effect without removing or tampering with the required safety device.

Installation is incredibly simple and takes less than 60 seconds. No tools required, no threading, no plumber needed, and no modifications to your plumbing.

1. Disconnect the hose from the spigot.
2. Separate Spray Cannon's two pieces — the Top Part and the Barrel.
3. Slide the Top Part over the vacuum breaker on the spigot.
4. Slide the Barrel onto the hose end.
5. Attach the hose end to the vacuum breaker.
6. Position the Top Part over the vacuum breaker and snap it together with the Barrel.
7. Snug the thumb screw to secure.
8. Place a container under Spray Cannon to capture spray for re-use.

Spray Cannon is engineered to fit standard-size outdoor hose bib vacuum breakers and backflow prevention devices, which covers the vast majority of residential and commercial spigots installed in the U.S. This includes common brands and models that comply with ASSE 1011 and ASSE 1019 standards. If your spigot has a small cylindrical device between the handle and the hose connection point, that's your vacuum breaker — and Spray Cannon is designed to snap right onto it. If you have an unusual or oversized backflow device and aren't sure about compatibility, our support team is happy to help. Just send us a photo of your spigot and we'll confirm the fit before you order.

Yes — Spray Cannon fits nearly all standard outdoor hose bibs and vacuum breakers. Thanks to its two-piece snap-together design, it accommodates a wide range of spigot configurations without any tools, adapters, or modifications. The Top Part and Barrel simply snap around your existing vacuum breaker or backflow preventer for a secure, universal fit. Whether your home was built recently or decades ago, chances are Spray Cannon will work right out of the box. If you're ever unsure, send us a quick photo of your spigot and we'll confirm compatibility before you order.

Every time you turn off a garden hose connected to a vacuum breaker, water is wasted as uncontrolled spray.

The amount of water that can be captured varies due to differences in hose designs and length, water pressure or weather temperature — potentially up to a gallon of water each use for a 100 foot expandable hose.

For frequent hose users — gardeners, car washers, pet owners, landscapers — that adds up to hundreds or even thousands of gallons per year, per spigot. Spray Cannon captures that water and redirects it into a usable stream, so you can collect it in a bucket or direct it onto plants and garden beds. For properties with multiple hose bibs, such as apartment complexes, HOAs, or commercial buildings, the cumulative community water savings can be significant. It's an easy, low-cost step toward water conservation that also saves money on your utility bill over time.

Absolutely. Spray Cannon does not modify, bypass, or interfere with your vacuum breaker's safety function in any way. The vacuum breaker will continue to protect your potable water supply exactly as intended by plumbing code. Spray Cannon simply redirects the residual water discharge — which would otherwise spray uncontrollably — into a contained, directed stream. It's a passive, non-invasive attachment that sits on the outside of your existing plumbing hardware. You never need to remove your vacuum breaker or alter your spigot.
