Would RecommendWe used these when roughing-in the plumbing for the bathroom in my barn. The price is excellent for this air-activated vent. Its a great concept and design and requires no ceiling or wall vent for it to work.

I was worried about some drainage issues so I converted the kitchen sink and the washer drain to one of these AAV systems. At first I bought a pair of these black vents but when I put them on, they BOTH reeked. They simply wouldn't close off sewer gasses. I took one off, cleaned it and tried sucking and blowing on it to see how the seal worked and every time i could blow a little air out it. Only when i started increasing vel...
