What is the purpose of an unventilated stub stack terminated with an access fitting?

• To connect a group of ground floor appliances to the building drain

• In a non-ventilated compartment

• In a non-ventilated roof space

What is a critical condition to avoid when installing the air admittance valve?

What happens to the air admittance valve when the system is subject to negative pressure?

• The valve remains closed.

• The diaphragm will lift and allow air to be drawn into the system.

• The valve will open and release foul air.

• The valve will remain open.

What ensures that the air admittance valve remains closed and prevents foul air from escaping the system?
