Installation of Air Admittance Valves is required to be approved under the provisions of the 1994 Uniform Plumbing Code, Seètion 301.2, Alternate Materials and Methods. The specific purpose of the Air Admittance Valve is to eliminate the need for individual fixture vent piping to be extended through the roof, eliminating the need for drilling horizontal plates and vertical structural members. The Studor AA V is available for application on vent pipe sizes 1.25" through 4" pipe. REPORT OF CONDITIONS AND APPLICABLE CODE SECTIONS: Code Sections: 1994 Uniform Plumbing Code, Section 301.2, Alternative Materials and Methods 1994 Uniform Plumbing Code, Section 901.1, Vents Required 1994 Uniform Plumbing Code, Section 906,1, Vent Termination Studor, Inc. is requesting approval to utilize AA V Maxi-vent and Mini-vent in lieu of extending vent pipes through the roofline pursuant to provisions contained in Section 906,1. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL: The Department has conducted extensive research into the applicant's product and is recommending that the Board of Appeals and Advisors approve the applicant's request with the following conditions: 1.

This request is pur5uaJ1t to Section 301.2 of the Unifonn Plumbing Code as an alternative material and method. StuOOr air admittance valves serve as the vent tenninal for plumbing vent system in üeu of eÀ1ending the vent to the outdoors, The air admittance valves are one way valves that permit air to enter the drainage system yet prevent the escape of sewer gas, There arc two nationally· recognized consensus standards that reguJate air admittance v.uves, ASSE 1050 and ANSI/ ASSE 1051. Studor's air admittance valves confonn to both of these standards. In my request for alternative material and method approval, I would like the air admittance valves 10 be restricted to installations in accordance with StuOOr's (manufacturer's) insb'uctions and the engineering report. I am enclosing copies of both in materials submitted Both the instructions and engineering report require a minimwn of one vent 10 extend 10 the outdoors, The remaining vents can tenninate to an air admittance valve, There has been extensive research thaI has proven that Sludor air admittance valves are equivalent to a vent extending to the outdoors when installed in accordance with the limitations I am proposing. This information was used to develop the consensus standards. It sbould be noted that air admittance valves are specifically permitted for use as a vent tenninal in the CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code, IPC International Plumbing Code. BOCA National Plumbing Code, and SBCCI Standard Plwnbing Code. This is in addition 10 the numerous state and local jwisdictions that have approved the use of Studor air admittance valves. There are ""er 1 milüon StuOOr air admittance valves installed throughout the United Slates over the past nine years, and they are functioning successfully, StuOOr has a proud reputation of working closely with the code elÛorcement community to assure the proper use and installation of air admittance valves, We also provide service to the engineering and contractor commuruties to assist their needs. I , : Oct-.02-97 Ol:27P P_03 I am sure that after reviewing the mformalion enclosed, you will find that SluOOr has developed an outstanding product worthy of approval as an alternative material and method vent terminal, We await your favorable response regarding the approval of Studor air adnuttance valve as an option to open pipe venting, c:c: Jack Beuschal Pat O'Neal Cheryl Blatt '0STUDORS c:J, II.'\CCJ InVENTive TECHNOLOGY'" Date: October 3, 1997 To: Ken Larson / City of Chula Vista Subject: Approval of Studor AA V's in UPC jurisdictions Dear Ken, You will find letters of approval, testimonials, and a Plumbing Engineers interpretation of the UPC code (UPC 1994 301.2) alternative materials and methods. As I told you STIJDOR has several State, county, and city approvals throughout the United States. Stndor Air Admittance Valves are recognized by these plumbing codes, lCBO, IPC, BOCA, SBCCI, CABO 1 & 2, The Studor Mini-Vents and Maxi-Vents have performed and passed test from the likes of NES, US Testing Labs, and are regulated and listed by ANSI ASSE 1050 &1051. Studor has installed approx, two million valves in the United States over the last nine-years, Stndor Air admittance Valves have a respectable history with Builders, Homeowners, and Plumbing Contractors, Stndor is selling consistently thousands of valves every month, throughout the United States, Stndor has many repeat customers and several new customers every month. If you are interested in talking to some of the approved jurisdictions, there is a list of approved States in the Studor White Binder Catalog, As far as the Westcoast approved jurisdictions, Stndor Air Admittance Valve usage and approvals are limited. Studor concentrated on the Southeast and Midwest. I started the Westcoast Studor approval process full time earlier this year, Studor's local Manufacturer Representatives handled the approval process before me, Their effort was greatly appreciated but there was no consistency or follow up, I have verbal approvals and written approvals in many jurisdictions west of the Rockies, I would like you to contact these people should you or your staff need to. The reason Stndor receives only verbal approvals. instead of approvals in writing, is, some cities, and counties, tell me, it is not necessary for that particular jurisdiction to put approvals in writing, The other jurisdictions have said yes for approval, but have not found the time to write the approval. There are many jurisdictions that are allowing the use of Stndor Air Admittance Valves, based on informative advertising in trade publications from Stndor. To Stndors surprise we can ask for approval in a certain jurisdiction, and find out the city has been allowing Stndor Air Admittance Valve for years, Here is some of the cities, counties, and states west of the Rockies where Stndor is aDDfOved or under review: City of Bellvue, W A. - Mike Brennon (452) 452-{j864 (under review) King County W A.

We offer the jurisdictions staff, training, and full knowledge of how an Air Admittance Valve works, wbat to look for at a jobsite, and how 10 instaI~ and what to look for during an inspection of the Studor Air Admittance Valve, You will also notice two IAPMO listings, Studor held an lAPMO listing for three years up until 3/97, When time came for renewal, lAPMO changed are listing to the new C 1 Triangle Listing, Sludor did not agree with the wording in this new listing, and, when we had the original IAPMO listing, we still had trouble approving Studor Air Admittance Valves in UPC 1 IAPMO jurisdictions, Studor uses the listings it currently bas, more and more jurisdictions are recognizing ANSI ASSE 1050 and 1051, and an NES listing. If you need more information before Wednesday I can be reached two ways, Voice mail Pager (888) 998-2701, or call the Florida office at (800) 447-4721.

The basis of approval was the documentation that was submitted with the application for permit. The items submitted were the approval reports ITom BOCA, SBCCI, and the ANSI reports, The installation of the Studor system was in accordance with the conditions and restrictions contained in the reports and the Studor literature, We maintain a complete library of the ICBO Evaluation Research reports, however, if Studor does not have an ICBO approval at the time of application, then the City of Indian Wells will accept other national standard approvals but those reports must be submitted with each application, As of this date, we have had no system failures of the Studor products reported to our department.
