hi Jackrae...absolutely nothing else....I dismantled what I fitted...and reassembled it all again the exact same way...and immediately the gurgling stopped ..possibly some great coincidence or something but it has definately stopped now after weeks of gurgling :-)

update guys....while waiting for my mate who has a powerful wet/dry vac...I decided to in the meantime dismantle all the fittings I had done and refit making sure all the connections were done up firmly...and now the gurgling has stopped completely. ...so I assume something previously was not as...

I will look into the pump idea and wet vac,.....I can live with the gurgling but not sure the Mrs can. 😁😁😁

Madrab....yes it went upwards for sure,I have tried numerous drain/sink cleaners so far,also I have a drain snake approx 12ft or so long...that went into the utility room sink waste pipe easily full way and no sign of anything on the end of it ie chunky dirt bits or grease....I am wondering if...

Hi guys, I put a single sheet of toilet roll onto where the avv should be....although the paper did not blow off (excuse that pun 😂) it certainly flapped around a little bit......Alan

Hi Jackrae.....the sink with the AVV is the utility sink...its when I empty the kitchen sink approx 15 ft away that the utility sink gurgles...there is no visible pipework to be seen that leads to the utility sink...it would seem any pipework is under kitchen floor or somwhere else..as we had a...

Hi guys, just to say I've tried another valve (same type)..... Sink still gurgles,I am now at a total loss ! 😱😱😱

Well I did exactly what you are asking about 5/6 yrs ago....and all is fine,no movement or problems with standing water....I also used the angle grinder to cut down a few of the slabs I was laying to use as edgers (as in my case when looking at the patio edges from the bottom of my garden I...

Hi guys,have done a few things (but not touched connections to dishwasher yet ).....I have turned the T connection right way up and have checked air vent valve for freedom of movement and it "appears to move freely....although I turned vent upside down without the screw cap cover on and I...

Cheers Madrab,I will try those options also, cheers 👍

Hi again, I am going to do everything suggested as soon as is practical,.....although with the dishwasher there is no gurgling when that empties but I see the point about the only thing that has changed is the fitting of a dishwasher....and it definitely only happens when the kitchen sink is...

Cheers guys, I will do as suggested.....then report back 👍

Hi guys,I'm back again.....I have now fitted the air vent BUT sadly the gurgling is still happening see pic for how I have attached the vent .... ...hopefully I have done it as suggested,I also noticed there is no noise or vibrating from the vent when I have heard the gurgling sounds,I...

Thanks Madrab,I only ask as when I was searching for them previously I found one on eBay which said VP2W etc but it said in brackets at the end Durgo type............but then I found one at Wickes with exactly the same description But no mention of Durgo type added.......so that confused me a...
