Default Re: Air Admittance Valve Under Kitchen Sink

12" < IRC 3201.6 limit (30"), so sounds ok?

tom

P.S. what might be worth writing about is the (GUESSING) diswasher drain. It doesn't appear routed high enough (GUESSING).

Thanks Tom,

The DW drain was a separate issue.

Bill,

I'm sure a lot of people will tell you, photos are your friend. I often regret not taking enough. I sometimes use the photos later to remember issues, and often to figure if I missed something.

Good luck,

tom

I agree,

I did not think this needed alot of pics for my use. I thought the AAV seemed a bit low in relation to the sink traps but you cleared that up. Thanks.

FYI, I take the time to explain to my client problems associated with AAV's. If they fail open, you get sewer gas into the home, or even water coming out of them if a clog interferes with draining.
