How does oatey sure vent work?
How does oatey sure vent work?
AAVs allow air to enter a plumbing drainage system when negative pressure develops in the piping system (because of the flow of water). When pressure in the system is equalized (indicating that no water is flowing), gravity closes the vent terminal, preventing sewer gases from escaping into a building.
How high should sure vents be?
six inches
The Sure-Vent should be installed a minimum of six inches above the finished height of your insulation, and the attic must have an access point to conduct scheduled maintenance.
Do I need an AAV vent?

How close should vent be to P-trap?

Can you put a cheater vent in the wall?
