Air Admittance Valve Installation

Great to see Billy Bob Thornton helping us regular folks learn the art of plumbing.

Dude, you work faster than I can watch. Slow down my man, we are billing by the hour! All jokes aside that was impressive. Great motivator to just "git'r'dun"! Definitley subscribing, liking and sharing and thank you for not wasting my time with that whole worn out script!

[@jcolt84]

We have a clogged underneath our kitchen sink and I noticed that whenever I would put the baking soda and vinegar down the drain that it would begin to overflow out of the air admittance valve whenever I wouldn't screw it. Does this mean that the spring feature on the air admittance valve has failed?

[@adri.khaz.6290]

Hi. Did you figure out if the in-line vent needed to be replaced to be unclog? Or was it something else the issue? Thanks

[@Jeremy64444]

Clean easy work, thanks . Six inches above waste, thanks.

You're welcome!

If a home is air sealed and the dehumidifier and A/C create a negative pressure in the home would an AAV still function appropriately?

[@sierragreen]

How do you reconcile six inches above the trap arm with six inches about the flood rim as required by code?

[@enriquebob5.0]

Super good and easy explanation Thks 👍

[@dangarnes]

Are these traps supposed to be tight or kinda loose? I keep getting air build up and it blows the pipe off

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

traps? These are supposed to be air tight and should blow of the pipe maybe a fitting is missing glue?

你使用水喉膠布方向錯誤！😂😂😂哈哈！安裝單向入氣閥是正確的！👍👍👍

Seems more to me that the problem is that there’s no slope after the P-trap like there should be. Outside of that their admin spouse can fail, so putting a closed loop in under the sink would be a better option. As well as mounting the dishwasher hose high up so after the pressure pumps out from the dishwasher, the discharge has no choice but to run downhill.

1:23 Next time, take the multi-tool blade to the parts bag, like you did to the zip-tie at 00:57. :)

Incorrectly stated by the Pro: That is how "you" install an air admittance valve. Correctly stated by me: That is how "you" install an air admittance valve. All day job for me including several looks at KZbin and two or three visits to the big box. Thanks for the video.

Lol! Me too!

[@Theclaybeadlover]

Doesn’t it bother you that the purple primer is all over the pipework? I know its under the sink an all…but still…

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I’m an apartment maintenance pro. Which means I’m a pro at nothing. So no it doesn’t bother me

[@adamcarter1266]

Yeah, they make clear glue and primer for this reason

[@4tarsus]

Purple color is to make it easy to confirm that primer was actually used. The more the merrier ... within reason.

[@MK-xl9tt]

Your required to use purple primer, its purple so the inspector knows you actually primered the fitting.

[@erndog0110]

Your OCD is showing my friend 🤣

[@SRT-6.4nardo]

It’s supposed to be 6 inches or higher lol

[@rafars2246]

Draining a dishwasher like that is one of the most moronic plumbing ideas I've ever seen

[@AgentOffice]

Pro job

[@stevenberrios3867]

Never seen someone so messy with the primer

[@dmac1170]

Air admittance valve 😂. That’s a mechanical check vent and is illegal in some jurisdictions. Check your plumbing code.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@dmac1170]

[@TedTedness-wu4vb]

Because for one they need to be 4 to 6 inches above the sink for most codes that allow them.
