Yes, I think you are probably right. Its the guest bathroom and the shower doesn't get used much. I happened to get chatting to a plumber in the merchants today and he said the same thing and said it would be a good idea to fit a HepVO in line to prevent the smells if the trap dries out. Rob

Yes the stack has an AAV which is within the same room. Rob

Oh my simple brain. My excuse is that it was a Bank Holiday :D The valve is of course verticle. But, the fitting its self is horizontal in the pipe. ............I'll get me coat :wink: Rob

Well as your your footer says! :lol: My not very logical brain assumed it would have to be horizontal. Why does this link them show it horizontally mounted? http://news.hunterplastics.co.uk/viewitem?newsno=58050&Archive ?? Rob

OK, so an inline AAV as close to the trap as possible is the way to go. I can't get one behind the trap as I dont have enough depth. But, I can put one in line after the fall from the trap (The fall will be about 50cm). I am making the assumption these AAV's can only be mounted horizontally...

Hi Doitall (and all) Ideally I want to keep to using the minamalist chrome trap on the sink. Others have mentioned an in-line anti-syphon unit? I've Googled and tried all the ussual suspects but cant seem to find anything? Can anyone point me in the direction of what I need. Upgrading to...

Hi I want to move a bathroom sink which will involve lengthening the waste. It is currently 2m fron the stack and the move will see the waste turn a corner and run a further 1.5m. So 3.5 metres in total. I can keep the fall quite shallow without any problem. Is this length going to cause...

Thanks for all the replies. After a tip from another forum I remade the joints using some Loctite 55 string. http://www.loctite.com/int_henkel/loctite_me/index.cfm?pageid=528&layout=2 Amazing product its kinda hemp, compound and ptfe all rolled into one. ( winds on the threads screw um up and...

Dunno about a war but this newbie is as confused as hell :-) Rob

Thanks Keego. Really appreciate your help. /me is now feeling a bit of a divy ! :oops: Do I just need bog standard 3/4" fibre washers? (Not the flexible tap connector type?) Rob

oooooh me is feeling a bit of a newbie now :oops: What do you mean by a tapered or parallel thread? The connector looks like this: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?ts=92502&id=16363 is the same thing? I guess I just place the fibre washer at the base of the fitting to help seal...

Erm nope :oops: ? Should I have? The thread end did'nt really have a flat surface that would indicate the need for a washer? Rob

Hi Hope you can help! I've just been completing an on-suite bathroom re-fit. The bath fills from some deck mounted valves. The 22mm pipe connects via a compresion fitting to 3/4" BSP connector. I just cant get the BSP connector to seal properly (Just the BSP thread, compresion is A OK)? My...

Thanks guys thats great. We don't have any open vents in our barn (Two soil stacks) although the conversion was 3 years ago now so perhaps the regs have changed? Having said that the AAV in the main bathroom (Different stack) is at the same level as the cistern and sink :shock: ??? I guess...

Hi Hope someone can help. We are re-designing our onsuite and want to move the location of the bath and toilet. We currently have a vertical stack with an air admittance valve thats aprox 1.5m high into the room. The toilet is connected by a branch and pan connector. With the new design we...
