SURE-VENT® AIR ADMITTANCE VALVES

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Plumbing Drain, Waste and Vent systems, known as DWV, consist of the DRAIN pipes that provide a network for the removal of WASTE and the VENT pipes that prevent traps from siphoning and maintain an equalized pressure. The DWV system uses gravity and air displacement throughout the piping network to function and breathe. In a simplified example, water in an inverted bottle without an air hole will glug and gasp when emptied. Adding an opening to the bottom of the bottle will turn the process into an efficient, steady flow because the bottle “breathes.”

Engineering Specification: The purpose of an air admittance valve is to provide a method of allowing air to enter the plumbing system without the use of a vent extended to open air and to prevent sewer gases from escaping inside a building.

INSTALLATION Read installation instructions prior to use of this product. Always consult local plumbing codes prior to installing an AAV. Individual, branch and circuit vents are permitted to terminate with a connection to a Sure-Vent Sure-Vent® AAV will only vent fixtures that are on the same floor level and connect to a horizontal branch drain. The horizontal branch drain shall connect to the drainage stack a maximum of four branch intervals from the top of the stack. The Sure-Vent developed length permitted for the vent. The Sure-Vent® AAV must be located a minimum of 4 inches above the horizontal branch drain and 6 inches above any insulation material and within 15 degrees of vertical. Every structure in which plumbing is installed shall have at least one primary stack vent. The stack vent should run as directly as possible from the building drain through to the open air.

Use approved pipe joint compound on the threads of the valve and remove protective orange rubber sleeve after installation.

Sure-Vent cannot be exposed to outside elements and are intended for use between

-40°F and 150°F. AAVs must be accessible for inspection and service.

AAVs are intended for installation in the confines of a structure,

AAV should be located within the maximum

EVERY DRAIN NEEDS A TRAP. EVERY TRAP NEEDS A VENT.

To prevent sewer gases from being released into the structure, plumbing code requires a trap to be installed at every fixture. A trap is a U-shaped bend of pipe filled with water that acts as a barrier between the structure and the sewer system. Trap seals can only be compromised under two conditions — high sewer pressures and water siphons, in both cases vents prevent this from happening.

Under high sewer pressures without a vent, trap seals will allow sewer gases to escape and enter the structure. This happens when the sewer pressure is greater than the pressure from the column of water in the trap. A vent will keep the sewer and atmospheric pressures equalized to maintain the trap seal.

Water moving through pipes can create a negative pressure or a siphon. The siphon will pull the water from a trap, leaving a clear path for sewer gases to enter the structure. A vent will prohibit siphoning, maintaining the trap seal.

AAV Vented House

WHY USE A SURE-VENT® AIR ADMITTANCE VALVE?

Air Admittance Valves (AAVs) open and close in conjunction with normal DWV system operation, effectively eliminating the need for secondary vent pipes. An AAV provides an alternative to secondary venting when utilized within the scope of model plumbing codes, referenced standards and Oatey installation instructions.

AAVs provide the ideal venting solution for island sinks, remote bathroom groups and remodeling jobs by eliminating the need to tie into a stack vent.

AAVs are often more economical than running vent pipe in new construction because they reduce the added need for supplies and labor.

The Oatey Sure-Vent® offers UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE by opening and closing under the smallest pressures, multiple sizes for OPTIMIZED DFUs and SUPERIOR SEALING technology, providing a lifetime of reliability.

Which DFU Is Right for You?

Unmatched Performance AAVs and Accessories

Make the right choice

Sensitivity to pressure changes, combined with its ability to consistently open and close, is what distinguishes the Oatey® Sure-Vent® AAV from all others. Superior engineering along with stringent quality standards ensure a lifetime of unmatched performance.

Available in 6, 20, 160, and 500 DFU. An air admittance valve’s ability to breathe is measured in Drainage Fixture Units or DFUs. The higher the DFU rating on the valve, the greater amount of air that can enter the DWV system. DFU loads are assigned to plumbing fixtures dependent on the volume rate of discharge, the duration of operation and the time between operations. Common fixture load ratings are shown in the table.

To ensure proper breathing capability, determine all fixtures to be vented and calculate the total

DFU load, then select the appropriate Sure-Vent® for the application. Each Oatey Sure-Vent® cap indicates its maximum DFU rating — 6, 20, 160 and 500 DFUs.

Example: In a house with a laundry room and bathroom sharing a common wall, the DFU load would total nine. Five for the bathroom, three for the washing machine and one for the laundry tub. The 20 DFU Sure-Vent® is the right AAV for the job.

It is acceptable to oversize a Sure-Vent®; however, an undersized Sure-Vent® will not allow the plumbing system to breathe properly.

ZERO PRESSURE

At zero pressure the Sure-Vent® AAV is sealed, ready to react to pressure changes. The Sure-Vent® AAV will not allow sewer gas to enter the structure.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE

A pressure change of -0.01 psi (-0.25” H2O) will cause the Sure-Vent® AAV to open. When open, air will flow from the room, through the protective screening, past the seal and into the DWV system as the arrows indicate. When pressure is equalized, the Sure-Vent
