DURGO Air Admittance Valves
Durgo Air Admittance Valves
An innovative air admittance valve designed as an alternative to conventional vent piping in building drainage systems.
DURGO Air Admittance Valves (AAVs) provide an alternative to conventional vent piping. During drainage flow or flushing, negative pressure causes the valve to open and admit air into the system. Once the pressure is equalized, the valve closes automatically, helping prevent unpleasant odors and sewer gases from escaping.
Depending on the system design and applicable regulations, DURGO AAVs can reduce or eliminate conventional vent stacks, create more usable space within service shafts, allow for smaller shaft dimensions, and reduce the amount of horizontal vent piping required.
Durgo AAVs can be installed near sanitary wear which lead to the system to easily allow air into the system. This fixes the problem of the trap not having enough water which lead to unpleasant smells. AAVs are also used to replace VTR (Vent Through Roof) on the roof and allowing space on the roof to be utilized.
Durgo AAVs use technology from Sweden and is widely accepted in Europe to replace vent pipe for over 50 years because many advantages such as saving construction cost and time, reduce smell in the system, and reduce spread of germs in the system
