Air Admittance Valves by STUDOR®
Allow air to enter your drainage system, but stop sewer gasses from leaving with an air admittance valve. This pressure sensitive valve opens upon fixture discharge, admits air into drain, waste and vent systems, and then closes to prevent foul air from coming inside. Sized for IPS pipe, the valves are simple to install, and have limited outdoor use if installed in a location protected from the elements. Considered the "standard" by some, Studor Air Admittance Valves will help keep your home a healthy and happy place to be.

How Studor® Air Admittance Valves Work
Studor venting Studor sealed
When a plumbing fixture is operated and water drains out of the system, negative pressure causes the valve to open, allowing air to enter as needed to equalize the pressure and protect trap seals from siphonage. When the flow stops, gravity closes the valve, preventing the escape of sewer gases back through the valve.


PVC & ABS Air Admittance Valves (AAV's) by Ayrlett
Keep unpleasant odors from entering your home through the drain with an Ayrlett Air Admittance Valve (AAV). These AAV's open by way of a valve that is sensitive to differences in pressure, and is designed to admit air into the drain waste and vent system when negative pressure is present in the system. Once air is admitted, the pressure is equalized, and they then close to prevent gases and foul air from the system to enter the home. The Ayrlett AAV is designed for indoor installation only.

We recommend plumbing your vents to the outside per your local codes. Using the above-mentioned vents may not be code approved in all areas. Before purchasing and installing any of these above auto-vent products please check with your local codes to determine if acceptable in your area. Please note that all brands of mechanical devices such as AAV's will ultimately fail.


Most Frequently Asked Questions

quality?"I see that all of your AAV's (auto-vents) shown on this page are mounted from the top going down (vertically mounted). Can I install any of these AAV's horizontally instead?"
To our knowledge, all of the auto-vents (AAV's) that we offer need to be installed vertically to operate correctly and safely.

quality?"What does DFU stand for?"
DFU stands for Drainage Fixture Unit. Drainage fixture units are used to determine the size of piping for drainage and vent systems.

quality?"Can I use Air Admittance Valves (AAVs) only for my whole house??"
No, a minimum of one vent must be open to the atmosphere (outside the dwelling) to allow the release of positive pressure in the drain system to prevent possible trap blowout allowing sewer gas into the home/building. A wet vent may also be an option; however, as always, check with your local code enforcement agency to ensure that your project will comply with code in your area.
