What happens here

After the old vacuum breaker has been removed, it is important to thoroughly clean any remaining red Loctite, dirt, or debris from the external threads of the hose bib. Grab a fitting brush, also known as a thread cleaning brush or pipe brush, and use it to vigorously scrub the threads until they are clean and free of any residue. This preparation ensures a proper and watertight seal for the new vacuum breaker.

Goal: Prepare the hose bib threads for the new vacuum breaker.
