Product Description

Despite the fact that this piece is small and simple in appearance, there are several issues that must be addressed when it comes to water safety and installation. To begin with, only use this on one fixture at a time to keep the pressure in the line consistent and the vacuum breaker capable of handling it.

Second, this vacuum breaker is a high-hazard protectant, meaning it keeps toxic materials out of the potable water supply. As a result, it can also be used in a low-risk application.

Third, the flusher should be installed at least 6 inches above the highest point of any item connected to the waste tank where the flusher is located. Also, this vacuum breaker should not be exposed to continuous water pressure for more than 12 hours. It's possible that the check valve will close or become stuck as a result of this.

Fourth, double-check that the vacuum breaker is positioned correctly. Its proper operation is dependent on gravity, and if it is installed in a different location, the valve may not fully open.

Questions & Answers

When I use it, it makes a loud buzzing noise and the water sounds restricted, which is strange for a black tank flush. Is this something you've ever heard before?

Mine makes no other sound than water flowing through the valve and piping, make sure you have it installed in the correct flow direction and that the ball appears in the right place and is free, but it should not flutter, once water pressure is applied to it, the ball seats to the vent side to seal the air vent, when the water is turned off, the ball drops and the vent allows air in and the standing water in the outflow side run,

Is this a B valve?

"B" was written on the one I got. It said "B Model 571" on the top and looked exactly like the one I replaced.

The valve I'm using now leaks a lot. The top of the container sprays water. As a replacement, I purchased this item. Is it also necessary for me to reduce the amount of pressure? Only the water pump from the camper is used. ?

It should not be necessary to adjust the pressure. Everything went smoothly after I installed the new one.

A straightforward swap

5/5

No water was getting into my RV's black tank after connecting the water hose to the connection, rendering my in-tank toilet useless. The flushing of the tank is ineffective. Despite the fact that I dump my black tank on a weekly basis (we're currently "full-to-bursting"), My fear was that the tank was clogged in our 5th wheel due to "timing. " It was recommended by a fellow full-time RVer on a couple of online RV forums. My vacuum breaker check valve might not be working, according to the timer. So I went online to look for a replacement, and there were a few options. One was significantly less expensive than the RecPro version, but all of the reviews said to "spend the extra ten dollars for the RecPro version, it's worth it;" Even when new, the other brand leaks. " As a result, I followed the advice. My tank flusher now works like it did when my RV was brand new, and it only took me 20 minutes to replace the valve with the new RecPro one.

It works

5/5

This is attached to my black tank spray, and when my old one went bad for some unknown reason, I replaced it with this one, which appears to be in good working order and has all of the necessary parts? I screwed on the new one and the spray line works again; next time, I'll just install a 90 because no other water line can be compromised without it; I'm not sure why it's on this line and not a fresh water line, which would make more sense.

Leaks

3/5

Because there is a small amount of water at the cap during tank flush startup, we gave it two stars. Because it does not leak at connections, there is no way it was installed incorrectly. It does not leak at all immediately after startup. While my husband cleans the tank outside, I keep an eye on it. According to our RV dealer, this part is cheaply made, but you don't have many options for it. On a 2018 Coachman Leprechaun 319mb class c, we replaced the original equipment manufacturer.

There are no leaks and everything works perfectly

5/5

After a brand new leaky Camco, I purchased this Rec Pro brand in the hopes that it would not leak. This brand is far superior to Camco in my opinion. I'm not sure why Camco is so prone to leaking.

Our Camco valve had to be replaced

5/5

Our 2020 travel trailer's black tank flush began to fail, resulting in city water being sprayed inside the bathroom. The RecPro valve was used in place of the factory Camco valve. When compared to this valve, the original valve felt cheap.

Identical to the original factory item

5/5

It is a perfect fit. The piece is an exact replica of the original from the factory. I would strongly advise anyone who loses theirs to get a replacement.

Exceptional purchaser

5/5

I was thrilled to find a replacement part that wasn't prohibitively expensive, and I had a great experience dealing with this seller. I'm glad it was a simple fix because the part fit perfectly.
