About this deal

This only really matters, though, if your property has a waste system that runs separately to the soil system instead of connecting up to the soil stack. e. a sewage treatment plant, septic tank, or cesspool) instead of a connection to the mains sewers, operation and maintenance of your soil and waste systems become a lot more strict.

Weathering Slate - creates a weathertight seal around the soil vent pipe where it penetrates the roof to protect it from the elements.

The most common waste pipe sizes in the UK are 32mm (suitable for low volume outlets, such as small hand basins), 40mm (suitable for most kitchen sinks, showers, and baths), and 50mm (suitable for more commercial applications, or for connecting multiple waste pipes into a single flow. For external soil stacks, it also requires working at height to install, which is never advisable without the use of professional scaffolding. Letting any kind of solid material (including bits of waste food left on your plate) wash down the plughole is like playing Russian Roulette with your waste system; the more you do it, the more likely you are to get a blockage. Should this be the case, or if you wish to avoid the problems that come with installing a soil vent pipe, the second option for solving pressure problems in soil and waste systems could be for you.

they don't need to be as large a diameter as the soil system pipes, meaning that less space is required to install them. Preventing them from occurring in the first place is by far the best course of action to take, and really not all that difficult to do.Older properties that have been heavily renovated or converted may have either of these systems or even a combination of the two. Remember how sinks are connected to waste pipes and how waste pipes are smaller in diameter than soil pipes? This vent allows air to be drawn in from outside the property to rebalance the pressure in the system rather than from internal sources, thus avoiding the siphoning effect. For more information on this, as well as a more detailed look at these vents and valves, how they work, and what types are available, check out our dedicated article Soil Vent Pipes vs Air Admittance Valves. These allow for both the safe removal of (potentially harmful) gasses and reduction of unpleasant odours, as well as, crucially, helping to regulate the pressure in the system.

The problem with using an Air Admittance Valve instead of a Soil Vent Pipe is that by preventing the gasses from escaping through the top of the soil stack, you are causing the gasses to be forced down into the main drains and sewer system. A more modern alternative solution to the pressure problem is to install an Air Admittance Valve instead of a vent pipe. The branch has 2 closed side bosses which when when drilled out using a 50mm - 57mm hole cutter and boss adaptors are fitted will allow 32mm, 40mm and 50mm waste pipes to be connected to the soil stack. Properly maintaining your soil and waste systems is the best way to avoid the need to repair or replace them, and there are a few simple things you can add to your household maintenance routine to achieve this. Dealing with plastic systems is a lot more straightforward, as most plastic drainage pipes are designed to be compatible with each other regardless of the manufacturer.If the systems are separate, though, making sure that no contaminated water flows down your waste pipes becomes the lead concern. Also, if your property has separate soil and waste systems that don't join up until they reach the main drain, this vent pipe will not prevent pressure issues in the waste system.
