The Sloan vacuum breaker trap primer provides a constant
water seal in a floor drain. Each time the flushometer is
activated, a small amount of water is diverted to the floor
drain to maintain the water seal. This seal prevents
objectionable sewer gases from escaping into the air.
Sloan VBF-72 and VBF-73 trap primer models are designed
to deliver a minimum discharge of 30 ml per flush when
used in conjunction with Royal or Regal 3.5, 1.6 or 1.28
gpf flushometers. The total amount of water diverted varies
directly with the number of flushes.
Perform the following functions using the rough-in guides illustrated in Figures A and B:
• Install flushometer following the instructions included with the valve. Use these instructions to replace ONLY the
instructions for a Vacuum Breaker Flush Connection.
• Install piping from connection on the floor drain to a desired location on the wall (determined by installer). (Sloan does
not supply the piping for this connection.)
Note
: Be sure that approximately 1” (25 mm) of a ½” (13 mm) NPT male pipe protrudes from the wall.
