Sioux Chief 696-11 OxBox Turbovent PVC Air Admittance Valve Adapter
The Sioux Chief 696-11 OxBox Turbovent Air Admittance Valve (AAV) Adapter is a PVC fitting that lets a plumber terminate a vent line without running a full vent stack to the roof. The family is available in 1-1/2" and 2" PVC adapter sizes to match the DWV piping on the job, and both sizes share the same OxBox housing format for a clean behind-the-wall or under-floor rough-in. The Turbovent AAV opens at just .01 inch of negative pressure to admit air into the drain-waste-vent system and holds a positive seal against back pressure up to 13 psig, regardless of which size is selected. It is built for fixtures such as island sinks, remote lavatories, and other traps where extending a vent stack to the roof is impractical, and it ties directly into PVC DWV piping using a solvent-weld PVC adapter body.
Key Features
- Trade Size Range: Offered in 1-1/2" and 2" PVC adapter connections for direct tie-in to matching PVC vent piping in the DWV system.
- PVC Construction: Solvent-weld PVC adapter body built for behind-the-wall or under-floor vent line rough-in, shared across both sizes.
- Quick-Opening AAV: The Turbovent air admittance valve opens at just .01 inch of negative pressure to relieve vacuum in the vent system as fixtures drain.
- Positive Seal: Holds a positive seal against up to 13 psig of back pressure so sewer gas stays out of the occupied space.
- Self-Cleaning Actuator: The internal actuating device spins each time the valve activates, keeping the sealing surface free of dust and debris for consistent long-term operation.
- Thread Sealing: Seal threads with PTFE tape only - do not use pipe dope - per the manufacturer's installation instructions.
- Installation Orientation: Install upright and vertically, and in an accessible location only, per manufacturer requirements.

Why Sioux Chief?
Sioux Chief backs the OxBox Turbovent adapter with a PVC body manufactured in the United States and a self-cleaning actuator design that keeps the AAV seal free of debris between cycles. The .01 inch quick-opening response and the 13 psig positive seal give installers a documented performance baseline for accessible-location vent termination, consistent whether the 1-1/2" or 2" size is selected, and the PTFE-tape-only sealing requirement keeps the threaded connection installed exactly the way the manufacturer specifies. Offered in 1-1/2" and 2" sizes, this OxBox adapter gives plumbers a compact, repeatable rough-in option as a code-recognized alternative to a full roof vent stack, packaged 6 EA per case for stocking rough-in crews.
