Description & Operation

Vacuum Delay Valves (VDV) are used on various parts of the engine to provide for gradual Application or release of vacuum to engine or emission control devices. These valves may be one or two-way delay valves, depending on application. Although each valve is named for a given system, it may be used elsewhere.
