FAQs

What is an air admittance valve?

An air admittance valve (AAV) allows air into the waste pipe system to prevent a vacuum from forming, which can cause trap seals to be lost and sewer gases to enter the building.

Where should I install the AV32?

The AV32 should be installed in a waste tee, cut into the main waste pipe run, typically near a sink or basin.

What size pipe is the AV32 compatible with?

The AV32 is designed for use with 32mm waste pipes.

Does the AV32 require any special tools for installation?

No, the AV32 uses a compression coupling for installation, so special tools are generally not needed.

How do I maintain the AV32?

Regularly inspect the valve for any blockages and clean it if necessary to ensure optimal performance.

What are the benefits of using an air admittance valve?

AAVs prevent the loss of trap seals, eliminating drain odors and ensuring a healthier indoor environment. They also prevent gurgling sounds.

What does BS EN 12380:2002 mean?

This is the European standard that the FloPlast AV32 is manufactured to, ensuring its quality and performance.

Can I use the AV32 with copper pipes?

The AV32 is compatible with some copper waste pipes; however, it is primarily designed for plastic waste systems.

Troubleshooting

Drain odors persist after installation.

Check the installation to ensure the valve is properly sealed. Also, check for any other potential sources of the odor, such as a dry P-trap.

Gurgling sounds persist after installation.

Check that the valve is installed vertically and that there are no blockages in the waste pipe.

The valve appears to be leaking.

Check the compression coupling for proper sealing and tighten if necessary. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacing.
