    Answer This Question

    A:  The use of AAVs on an ejector pump application must first be approved by the manufacture of the pump and the building officials within your jurisdiction. If approved by both entities, you must have the drain and vent sized and installed in a very specific configuration. The bathroom group or singular fixture draining into the pit must also be vented properly. The issue that you are describing is related to a venting issue that is common in incorrect venting methods. We would recommend that you reach out to your pump manufacture for details on how to size and install your drain and vent. The reason why the drain flows well when the AAV is removed is related to the release of positive pressure from the system. When an AAV is exposed to positive pressures, it remains closed and water flow is restricted.

      Q:what does 500 dfu mean?
      by|Mar 2, 2018
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  DFU - stands for drainage fixture unit. This is a measure of probable fluid discharge into the drainage system by various types of plumbing fixtures. Each fixture's DFU value depends on the volume of fluid discharge per cycle and an average time between cycles. Examples of DFU calculations can be found on our website www.oatey.com in the FAQ section located at the bottom of the home page. Always check with local building officials to confirm these calculations match theirs. The 500 DFU is the size of fixture load that the AAV can vent properly.

        Q:how do i adapt this to 1 1/4 pvc in a manufactured home
        by|Jan 15, 2017
        2 Answers
        Answer This Question

        A:  This unit comes with a 3 inch screw on adaptor. you will need probably several adapters to bring it down to 11/4, but it should work fine. I've also used a 2" unit that works fine when I installed it on my washing machine drain.

        by|May 3, 2018

        A:  You will not want to use a 500 dfu in a manufactured home. The recommended part is an Inline vent #39012. 500 DFU is something you would see in a commercial building.

              This item is high quality pvc material. It connects with blue glue like regular irritations pipe but it self seals as well. Works fine for venting sewer pipes and septic systems. It has multiple uses. I used one as a yard decoration in a flower bed. Easy to paint. Used another one to vent a large pipe I stuck in a compost pile. Keeps rain out of the pipe so air can get in the pile. I know it sounds weird. Could also be used to vent diy greenhouses or cold frames.
