Air Admittance Valves (AAVs) are plumbing devices that allow air to enter a drainage system when negative pressure occurs, helping maintain proper system pressure while preventing sewer gases from entering the building.
Yes, Oatey Sure-Vent Air Admittance Valves comply with ASSE Standards 1050 and 1051 and are IAPMO listed, making them acceptable under many plumbing codes when installed in accordance with local regulations and manufacturer instructions.
AAVs simplify installation, reduce roof penetrations, and are ideal for remodels or locations where venting through the roof is not feasible.
Selecting the right supply box depends on the fixture or appliance, available installation space, access requirements, and applicable plumbing codes.
Stop valves allow water to be shut off at individual fixtures, making repairs, appliance replacement, and emergency maintenance easier while helping reduce the risk of water damage.
