I am just fitting my bathroom and have the bath and sink running off the same 40mm waste pipe. (Not possible to run the separately)

The pipe runs Bath >> Sink >> Soil pipe.

I have this bath waste / trap http://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-bottle-bath-trap-white-40mm/21158

and I am worried about it being siphoned when the sink is drained (Is that likely?)

I was wondering about fitting a air admittance T such as this: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plu...3136/McAlpine+VP3+Air+Admittance+Valve/p56476

in between the bath and sink.

Does that sound sensible and should it reduce any risk of the bath trap being siphoned?
 
The risk is more that emptying the bath will pull the basin trap.

Fit an basin trap with an incorporated AAV
