Features & Benefits
Self-Cleaning
Self-Cleaning Mechanism
The TurboVent™ Air Admittance Valve (AAV) is the
only AAV on the market with a self-cleaning operating
mechanism. Each time the valve activates to allow air
into the DWV system, it spins. This spinning moves and
scours the sealing surface, which ensures a good seal
with each activation.
Installation Savings
Compared to traditional plumbing vent installations
that penetrate through the roof, using the TurboVent AAV
reduces labor and material costs. Additionally, fewer roof
penetrations mean fewer potential roof leaks.
Engineered Performance
Our open vent design enables the valve mechanism
to quickly respond when activated, letting air into the
DWV system and preventing sewer gas from entering
the living area.
Our dual-fit 1-1/2" to 2" Hub x 2" FIP combination
adapter is designed to glue over 1-1/2" or 2" pipe and
conforms to national and local code standards for proper
DWV fitting installations.
Single Sealing Surface
Compared to other AAVs, the TurboVent has a single
sealing surface instead of a dual sealing surface, making
the TurboVent less likely to fail.

How It Works

Installation
AT
ACTU ING
DE V I C E
The TurboVent AAV is designed to allow air into the DWV
system without allowing harmful sewer gas into a building,
while also preventing siphonage.
1. Valve is normally closed, preventing the escape of
sewer gas from the DWV system.
2. When waste water drains, it creates negative pressure
in the DWV system, which lifts open the actuating device
(AD) within the AAV and allows air to enter the system. As
the AD is lifted, its turbine fins spin the device clockwise,
cleaning the sealing surface upon each activation.
3. After the water has drained completely, the valve closes,
preventing sewer gas from entering the living area.

Installation Tips
Install in an area with adequate ventilation.
Install in the upright position, not exceeding
15 degrees from vertical.
Install in an accessible location for inspection
and maintenance.
Do not install outdoors.
Do not subject AAV units to temperatures
below -40˚ F or above 150˚ F.
Install TurboVent at least 4" above trap overflow.
Install TurboVent 6" above insulation for
attic applications.
Remove protective yellow debris cover before
first use and activation.
Always use with at least one primary vent stack
to the atmosphere.
Use TurboVent on the same floor as the fixtures
being vented. Connect to the horizontal drain line.

Sizing
TurboVent AAVs are sized to accommodate common
Drainage Fixture Unit (DFU) requirements as marked on
the top of each unit and listed on our buying information
table. The TurboVent can be used in branch or stack
venting applications.
Be sure to verify that the application is consistent with
minimum standards for piping installations and drainage
output of the appliance or fixture to be vented. Consult all
local codes prior to installation.

TRADITIONAL VENTING
Traditionally, a network of DWV
pipes, fittings and hangers have
been used to vent every fixture
or group of fixtures throughout
a building. The vertical pipes
penetrate through the roof in
multiple locations to maintain
trap seals, prevent pressure
fluctuations and ensure the safety
of the residents of the building.
Using a TurboVent on individual
fixtures or groups of fixtures
saves on costly labor and extra
materials, with no sacrifice to
the functioning of the drain,
waste and venting system.

Additional Features
Protection
The brightly colored debris cover keeps the TurboVent free
of drywall dust, paint and other construction debris.
Professional Look
Because AAVs must be accessible, Sioux Chief’s
Ox Box™ is the ideal solution. Made of durable white
ABS, the Ox Box provides a clean, professional looking
way to access the TurboVent while the louvered cover
provides the perfect finished look.
