FAQs

What is the purpose of an Air Admittance Valve?

An AAV allows air into the sanitary drainage system to prevent negative pressure, which can cause slow draining, gurgling sounds, and allow foul gasses to escape.

Where should the AAV be installed?

The AAV should be installed vertically, above the flood level of the highest fixture in the system and in an accessible location for inspection and maintenance.

How do I install the AAV?

Clean the pipe and the AAV fitting, apply solvent cement, insert the pipe into the fitting, and allow the cement to cure. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

How do I maintain the AAV?

Regularly inspect the AAV for blockages or debris. Clear any obstructions and check for a proper seal. Replace if damaged.

What size pipework is this AAV compatible with?

This AAV is designed for 110mm pipework systems.

What are the common problems with AAVs?

Common problems include blockages, improper sealing, and incorrect installation. These can lead to foul odors or slow drainage.

Can I install the AAV horizontally?

No, the AAV must be installed vertically for it to function correctly.

How long will the AAV last?

The lifespan of an AAV depends on usage and environmental factors. Regular maintenance and inspection will help ensure it lasts.

Troubleshooting

Foul odors are present in the building.

Check the AAV for proper installation and ensure it is not blocked. Inspect the seal and replace the AAV if necessary. Check the connected pipework for leaks.

Slow draining fixtures.
