Rectorseal 97405 Magic Vent Micro with Pvc Adapter

My bathroom sink and tub did not have their own vent pipe and the toilet when flushed would suck water out of the trap on both the sink and tub. If the toilet was flushed enough times you would even start the hear the water gurgling in the traps. The only vent pipe (on the toilet) is a galvanized metal pipe and no the easiest thing to tie into. I got this and put it after the trap on the sink and tub pipe, but before the toilet line connects up. it has been a few months now and I have not heard of any gurgling pipe since then! The seal is working well since I don't have any sewer gas smell in my basement, which would be the case if the vent were always open.

If replacing an existing vent, the vent is female. So you cannot screw it into your existing female threaded adapter.It does come with a slip joint adapter to glue onto a fresh pipe, but for me, that means I have to saw off the existing and glue on the new one. I’m having trouble finding a males male threaded coupler. So, I will either decide to make this a project, or just buy another vent that I know is “male”. Sigh. If it were suitable for my existing plumbing, it would take 20 seconds to finish.

Not the perfect solution to my problem of backing up kitchen sink. Seemed to work initially but back to the same old problem. Will try to reposition it to see if that makes a difference.

It really works. I had drain water backing up in my kitchen sink from apt kitchen above me. whenever draining a full sink of water. I had been having this problems for over10 years. I am glad this magic vent solved this problems. Thank you magic vent. Highly recommended.

Good item for extra ventilation. Don't need to put additional holes in roof.

Kitchen sink

works like a charm and saved me $125.00 plumbing bill

This was a great idea for my needs for my basement bar sink, unfortunately it did not fit where I wanted it, so I had to return them unused.
