How do I install the AAV?

The AAV is installed using solvent welding. Ensure the pipe ends are clean, apply solvent cement, and connect the valve.

How do I know if my AAV is blocked?

If you experience slow draining or gurgling sounds, the AAV might be blocked or malfunctioning.

Is any maintenance required?

What is solvent welding?

Solvent welding is a method of joining plastic pipes using a solvent cement that chemically fuses the plastic.
