drain line vent thing?

Jul 18, 2004 3 Replies

Hey all,



Having a major brain cramp here. They make this fitting, acts as a vacumn breaker that you can install between a trap and the main waste line to prevent the trap from being sucked dry when you don't have access to vent it properly. For the life of me I cannot remember the name of it.



Anyone know? Thanks,



-Brian


Generic name is "air-admittance valve". Oatey makes an inexpensive plastic one. Studor makes a more sophisticated one.

See both here:

Sometimes referred to as a cheater vent.
