Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TLV VB3/VB3-H vacuum breaker.
This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the factory.
When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications
and external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. Also be sure to
read this manual carefully before use and follow the instructions to be sure of using
the product properly.
The VB3/VB3-H vacuum breaker automatically opens both of its valves to introduce
air when a vacuum begins to form due to a stopped supply pump, protecting piping
and other equipment by preventing a vacuum from forming. On startup, the float of
the VB3/VB3-H allows for rapid air discharge until the water level rises and the float
shuts off the valve.
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in this
manual are required, please contact TLV for full details.
This instruction manual is intended for use with the model(s) listed on the front cover.
It is necessary not only for installation but for subsequent maintenance, disassembly/
reassembly and troubleshooting. Please keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Features
1. The product has no hinges or levers: the only moving parts are the check valve
disc and the self-leveling grounded free float, which minimize malfunction and
provides long service life.
2. The product is made up of few parts and the construction has been kept simple,
so maintenance checks are also simple.
Operation
Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from
the discharge of fluids.
CAUTION
1. The product also functions as a rapid initial air
vent. As water is initially supplied to the piping,
the air in the piping enters the vacuum
breaker. As the float is in the lowered position
at this time, valve “A” is open fully, and the air
entering the vacuum breaker is rapidly
discharged. At this time check valve disc “B”at
the check valve stays closed.
A
B
2. When the last of the initial air is discharged,
water enters the product, causing the float to
rise, closing valve “A”. If there is a rapid rise in
water level, a small amount of water may leak
with discharged air immediately before valve
“A”closes.
3. Once valve “A” has closed, it remains closed
even if air accumulates inside the vacuum
breaker, so there is no discharge of air during
operation.
Check valve disc “B”remains closed.
A
B
4. When stopping the supply pump and draining
the piping, the pressure inside the piping
becomes near to or less than atmospheric
pressure, and the float falls with the water level
in the vacuum breaker opening valve “A”and
introducing air.
At the same time, check valve disc “B”opens
and introduces air into the piping, which
prevents a vacuum from forming and protects
the piping and other equipment.
