OATEY 39256 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 39256 Sure-Vent handle the venting load for a bathroom group or a kitchen island sink?
The 39256 Sure-Vent is rated for 20 DFU on a branch and 8 DFU on a stack, which covers a typical single bathroom group or an island sink branch. It works as a secondary vent only, so the building still needs its primary vent through the roof.
2) Is the Oatey 39256 air admittance valve code approved?
It is approved under both the International Plumbing Code and the Uniform Plumbing Code, and complies with ASSE Standard 1050 and 1051. Local jurisdictions still vary on where AAVs are permitted, so check the authority having jurisdiction for your project.
3) Can I glue this Sure-Vent adapter to PVC pipe?
No. The 39256 adapter is ABS, and ABS cement will not make a proper joint to PVC. For a PVC system use a PVC-adapter version of the Sure-Vent, or transition with a mechanical coupling before the valve.
4) At what pressure does the Sure-Vent 39256 open, and will it let sewer gas back into the room?
Sweet Spot technology opens the valve at -0.01 psi, so it admits air on the slightest negative pressure from a draining fixture, and seals at 0 psi and above so nothing vents back out. Every unit is functionally tested at 1/4 inch and 30 inch water column.
5) Does anything come with the 39256 Sure-Vent to keep dust and debris out during construction?
Each valve ships with a protective sleeve that gives you a grip for hand tightening and keeps drywall dust and debris off the sealing diaphragm. The air inlets are also screened to guard the seal from insects and debris after install.
6) What does the Oatey 39256 Sure-Vent weigh for a stocking order?
Each unit weighs 0.22 lb with a shipping volume of 0.029, so a case quantity stays light on the shelf. The valve is white ABS.
