Abstract

See full text

A combination plumbing trap and vent assembly for retrofitting existing sink installations is disclosed. The assembly includes a J-bend pipe with an inlet for attachment to a sink and an outlet, a T-pipe with an inlet arm connected to the J-bend outlet, a valve arm, and an outlet arm for connection to a drain, and an air admittance valve (AAV) attached to the valve arm. The AAV allows air to enter the system when negative pressure develops, maintaining proper drainage without extensive modifications to existing structures. This assembly provides an effective solution for slow-draining sinks and compliance with modern plumbing codes, particularly in situations where traditional venting methods are impractical or cost-prohibitive.
