Discuss Air admittance valve below toilet in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi,

I am installing a new en-suite toilet upstairs in a new location , the soil stack is installed by my builder going downstairs directly and into the ground where the main sewers are. He’s installed the air admittance valve on the floor below , which is slightly below where the toilet is.

I asked the plumber if it’s ok as it’s below the toilet , he said yes, but most places I read online saying it needs to be above a certain level.

Can you help me please , as the plumbers insisted it’s ok.
 
Depends on the type of vent he’s installed some are ok below toilet level?
