- How to install air admittance valve under the sink in under 5 minutes. (Link Below)
After reading www.nycc-mag.com/top-air-admi... we decided to replace Studor vent with this Tuuber air admittance valve. My slow drain caused by no vent to roof or actually an improper clogged vent since my plumber said the vent was too far from the trap. It caused siphoning of my trap and the smell was so bad around the sink.
So I installed an air admittance valve in under 5 minutes. It's easy to install and improve my drainage system and sink drains faster now since installing the little AAV device. No bad sewer odors like before the air admittance valve eliminates the bad rotten egg smell completely.
This project started when a Studor vent air admittance valve went bad in my bathroom that builder contractor installed some time ago and I replaced that Studor vent AAV with the a different Manufacturer brand at the time and about a year later another air admittance valve went bad.
The most difficult part of it was choosing which Studor vent or what I discovered is actually an air admittance valve to buy. I wanted the best air admittance valve. There seemed to only be a few air admittance valves out there, Oatey sure-vent, Studor, and Tuuber. I already had not so great luck with Oatey and Studor, since studor vent was the first to go and then Oatey so I did more research and read many reviews (hundreds of reviews on over 25 websites) and finally after reading best air admittance valve - test reviews at www.nycc-mag.com/top-air-admi... we decided to replace with this Tuuber air admittance valve. It has a double seal in the valve and figured it had to be better, right?
Some reviews stated it was bigger than the others and we thought well, for the recessed box replacements it may not work out. I wanted the best air admittance valve but if it meant a bigger air admittance valve I would have to make many changes to the existing pipe. Well as it turns out, YES, it was much better, it was the best air admittance valve. It was an easy replacement for the recessed box air admittance valves and it's not much bigger than the Studor vent and other I had installed before it. So that was a relief. We also noticed that the air admittance valve just felt the best well constructed and so much higher quality when we removed it from the packaging.
I wanted to share this information and this video because I know how frustrating it was to first, figure out where the smell was coming from in the bathroom and the kitchen. And then being frustrated about the previous Studor vent replacement air valves not working and still failing. So this is my easy way of installing one and sharing my experience so that others can hopefully deal with less hassle in choosing and installing an air admittance valve.

That looks like minimum 3 trips to the hardware store for me.
Hold my beer (4)
For these types of jobs, just buy several fittings, pipe pieces etc… and return what you didn’t need
I just bought the kit, looks like I have everything I need I just hope it lines up right
Just the tutorial that I needed! Water spurting out of vent pipe under laundry sink cos it is a very old plumbing system! Thank you for sharing your know how!
Thank you! I searched a long time for this video
Please Explain why your Vent is not 6 inches above the Trap out let (Drain)
You are awesome...Hope you help a lot people Thumps Up Man
This is awesOme !!! Thumps UP !!!
Excellent video,Loves the concept, left a like :)
Could you create more video like this - Every Body Wants A Piece Of Like this
Genius thank you sir
normally, you want the AAV air admittance valve at least 4 inches above the horizontal pipe. higher is better.
What if that’s just not possible? I’m at a loss man I fix cars not plumbing. I replaced all the plumbing under my kitchen sink and there’s no cheater vent or anything. Wasn’t before tho, but now I’m smelling gases. So I purchased the cheater vent and the only place to put it is like this guy, no hole in my counter lol
@@lexuses3942 it’ll still work short, but higher lets the air push the water down better with more air coming in from above. Sounds like you have no p trap is what your gasses are coming through.
Loose fit before securing fitting 😀. Now I’ll try that on my double sink with disposal going out to wall.
Remember how life was like when this came out
Warning: loud music starts at 2:32
Music? Is that what that is?
Intolerable.
Voted down.
Yea that was some poor choice of background. Lol I preferred the silence
You are so talented. Keep it up and be humble. The sky will be your starting point
Could this alleviate backing up with an existing s trap?
can I use one of those on the main drain coming out of toilet drain?
Nick Loche can you use these everywhere you need a vent by code?
It's ...🔥
Couple of things. From what I read In code the AAV should be 4” above the horizontal waste pipe and not less than 6” above the highest fixture drain. If that’s correct the vertical pipe where the AAV was installed needed to be 3-4” higher so it’s above the bottom of the drain. That way if there is a blockage it will backfill into the sink and not blow out of the vent (AAV), correct?
On single fixture only 4" above the horizontal drain or trap weir of that fixture. Any group of 2 or more fixtures that air admittance valve serves must then be located a minimum of 6" above the flood rim of the highest fixture in that group on same floor level.
Correct.
Problem being, it's only good for the one device leading to it. It's not like a roof vent connected to the sewer pipe.
What is that pvc tee called? Can you get it in any hardware store?
I searched - Tubular Slip Joint Tee

Narration would be helpful with description of parts and technical details.....
Not installed above the sink drain. Now, if the system backs up, water will flow from the air admittance valve instead of showing up in the sink.
How do you get it above the sink drain without putting a hole in your counter? Serious question
@@lexuses3942 Then a hole you must put in your counter. This is why most local jurisdictions don't allow ATV vents inside buildings. Improper installation, are not maintained, and are subject to failure.
Myth. It’s a one way valve. Someone else did a video testing this very thing.
If the P-Trap clogs does water come out of the air admittance valve? If not Why?
spring loaded one way valve allows air in prevents water getting out
So you create at least five joint's for greater leak potential in the future.
The joints dont look secure and two are butted so cant be tight enough.
it is placed on the wrong side of the water seal in the p-trap. what is to keep sewer gas from getting in?????
I always put them on the same side as you said cause the paperwork says do it in the location like this guy did. After the trap. But I think just like you if it fails you get sewer gas coming threw it happen before to afew ppl I know and I put it between the trap and sink. So the trap still seals off sewer. It makes no sense the other way between the trap and main line !!!!! We are correct.
@@rockstardrummer66 Good point!
Where do you get this Air Admittance Valve to buy?
This is called a Studor vent, or air admittance vent. Home Depot, Lowe’s etc
Under a sink? Isn't it meant to go above heighest point of water outlet?
Just made the same comment. If this is the only fixture then he’s good but still needed to bring it higher up so the AAV is higher than the bottom of the drain.
The valve needs to be higher than the highest water level in the system. Read the Building Regs.
The smell was coming out from the top of the sink?
Air admittance valve will fix that too - if venting is siphoning out the trap that leads to sewer gas smell coming out of sink drain.
@@nickloche7106 I have smell in the cabinet but not out of the drain, sink, or dish washer.
when installing the p trap they installed it forcing it. that is incorrectly installed.
Please elaborate
@@lexuses3942 pressure on the fittings under the sink will lead to them eventually leaking. The fixtures need to be square. Of course you may luck up, and it won't leak, but more times than not, it will. The discharge should have been cut back slightly to allow a clean proper fit. But, for the information given in the video, that can be overlooked.
Are these things illegal in most States ?
The fitings are not correctly placed and the valve needs to be a lot higher.
Did anyone else gets annoyed when he didn't debur the pipes..
Ok video but installed too low. Also the stupid music is totally unnecessary and distracting.
That wasn't under 5 minutes!
It would be helpful if you speak every now and then.
😬
Seems more like 5 minutes and 35 seconds 👀 lol
Ah yeah,,, negative!! That won't last to long,when installing a air admittance valve you should take it as far back into the cabinet as possible so you put the aav up higher, so it's above the basket strainer.
Use your dang voice!
Farr to low chief.
Can you talk?
Not a good install
very poor.
