Description of Made in America RecPro RV Vacuum Breaker Check Valve 571-VAC-CHK-A to Effectively Safeguard Fresh Water Against Pollutants

Although this piece is small and simple-looking there are several points that need to be addressed when it comes to proper water safety and installation. First, this should only be used on one fixture at a time. This keeps the pressure in the line predictable and the vacuum breaker able to handle it. Second, this vacuum breaker is a high-hazard protectant. Because of this, it can be used in a low-hazard application as well. Third, it should be installed a minimum of 6 inches above the highest point of any item connected to the waste tank where the flusher is installed. This vacuum breaker should also not be under more than 12 hours of continuous water pressure. This could cause the check valve to shut or become stuck. Fourth, make sure that this vacuum breaker is installed upright. It relies on gravity to properly function and if it is installed in a different position, the valve may not fully open. Made in America.

Replaces our Camco Valve

The black tank drain on our 2020 caravan has stopped working properly and is splashing city water into the bathroom. I replaced the factory Camco valve with this RecPro valve. The original valve looked cheap compared to this valve.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Contact Seller

Works as it should, easy to install.

Was easy to install and thankfully worked perfectly. The original, which failed after 1 year, caused significant flooding in a short period of time. Just in case I ordered 2 pieces so I have a spare. Especially since you can only get them in plastic.

Pros
  • Plumber
Cons
  • boring packaging

still leaking in fresh water systems

Really? still flows? I blew my black tank flush valve. move air through. Ordered two of these because the forum said "keep one in reserve". Yes, you should, just don't use it. I ordered something else. And yes, the second did the same. Keep in mind. I can get air through the lines without him. It's aligned correctly.

Pros
  • Caravan parts and accessories
Cons
  • Not everything fits
