Ratings & Reviews for Dearborn Plastic Air Admittance Valve with 1-1/2-in OD Connection

Time & money saver!

This stack-less waste sewer vent works perfectly on demand without letting the obnoxious sewer gasses into your home. (Be sure to check your local building codes to see if this is legal in your area). Also, be sure to install them where future accessibility might be necessary, as with anything mechanical, it does have to potential to wear out. I just replaced one in my home that was part of the original construction. It lasted 12 years. These newer ones are of much better design and construction...

Rv smell

Used it for a stinky smell under my rv sink the one under the rv failed.

Air Admittance Device

I would say that this device will work in limited applications and approximately a quarter of the price of a Studor, but spend the extra money and get a higher quality product that will perform as advertised

air vent

This product sucks. That is what it is suppose to do so it's good

Air where needed

Allowed me to vent a utility sink without costly vent pipe installation. MUCH cheaper that some of the others but works just as well.

didn't work

Installed basement pump box. Used this vent on it. Air would not vent through it so the sink would backup until the pump turned out and emptied the box. Headed back to store to get the Studor 25$ one.

waste of time and money

I should have paid attention to the other rating that said it didn't work. I just purchased, and installed, the vent under my kitchen sink. IT ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT WORK! Do not waste your time and money. Personally, I think it is a scam with lowe's to make you buy the 25.00 plus air vent.

Didn't work

Had all the plumbing done and put on the air cap. As soon as my wife used the washer and water went flying everywhere so I returned it.

Worked like it was supposed to.

Installed this under my bathroom sink. Both my bath tub and sink are on the same drain. Stopped both from gurgling and I haven's smelled anything yet. Easy to install.

Stopped the smell

Had an older version of this in my plumbing system. I guess the seal leaked, it smelled pretty bad on high temp days. Put on this one and it stopped the smelly from the sewage.

plumber

if you cant run a vent then I would say to use this product

Good fix

Rubber diaphragm does not last more than a couple of years

Air Admittance Vent worked great.

I replaced a two basin sink with a single basin sink. The single basin sink would drain slowly. I installed the Air Admittance Vent and the sink now drains much faster. The cost of the Air Admittance Vent along with a few fittings that I needed to attach it cost me around $12.00. If your sink is draining slowly and you're sure that the drain is not clogged, give the Air Admittance Vent a try. Of course you should check with your local building codes before doing so.
