How Studor® Air Admittance Valves Work
Studor venting Studor sealed
When a plumbing fixture is operated and water drains out of the system, negative pressure causes the valve to open, allowing air to enter as needed to equalize the pressure and protect trap seals from siphonage. When the flow stops, gravity closes the valve, preventing the escape of sewer gases through the valve.

We offer many thoughts (quotes) to ponder, such as:
"When I was a child people simply looked about them and were moderately happy; today they peer beyond the seven seas, bury themselves waist deep in tidings, and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad." - E.B. White
