| Remarks | Proper design and venting are essential for effective drainage systems. Without it, pressure fluctuations can empty water traps, leading to odors and moisture damage. Traditionally vented through roof pipes, the introduction of Durgo’s vent valve in 1974 revolutionized drainage installations—making air admittance valves a standard solution worldwide. |
