    Two of my baths have regular vents through the roof. The third (master) bath has a studor vent mounted under each sink in the vanity. I believe that these were an after thought as the builder had to cut through the exterior brick wall to install them.

    Are these two vents sufficient for toilet, shower, tub and two sinks. The sinks drain very slowly. It is approaching the end of my warranty on my new home and need to know if these vents my cause more serious problems in the future.

    Thank you for your help.

    It would appear that the plumber neglected to vent the master bath and compensated with the Studor Vents. If it passed the final inspection for the house CO it should pass yours. A single Studor Vent will relieve the suction caused by discharging fixtures. You have two. While I prefer outside vents a Studor Vent performs the same function. Regards, tom

Studor Vent Failing? [ 3 Answers ]

We have a Studor Terminal in an inside hallway closet in our home. Occasionally, when you walk by you can smell the sewer gases, the nice rotten egg smell of hydrogen sulfide. I thought these were a one way air vent system and prevented this sort of thing? Is it not functioning properly?...

Studor air gaps [ 2 Answers ]

I have checked out the Studor web site that Speedball reccomends and they say you can use their air gap and not go through the roof with the vent stack. Unless I missed it I haven't found any mention in any of the threads on here about venting this way. We are almost ready to go through the roof...
