Hi.
Could someone tell me how to remove the AAV on a Vaillant ecoMAX 828/2 E pls?

Many thanks
 
Using your skilz!

Check the manual, they usually have it listed in the back.
 
Thanks. Any tips on correct tool to use to remove it. Seems to be a very narrow gap for a spanner.

you call that narrow??????????????????????? try working on a worcester theres loads of room there
 
A spanner is too thick to get under the housing. Do you use a specialised tool?
 
Would you just use the grips on the housing itself. There appears to be a nut underneath but cant get in there.

What height should a AAV be under bath?
I'm installing a new bathroom. I have a combined drain for the bath and shower (2 x 40mm >> 50mm >> stack) and have a McAlpine VP2 AAV to fit under the bath to avoid syphoning of the shower trap. Is this type of AAV correct and how high does it have to be above the bath/shower traps? Thank you.
