Hint:
I would not pass this thing in tech inspection.

Ed, if you read the other comments and the description on the picture, you'll see that this mechanism is being used as a valve to operate under a vacuum. I suspect that in order to be legal, they are using another identical valve elsewhere to operate as the "breaker" that you describe. In light of this, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't pass inspection.
