MAKE BUILDINGS HEALTHIER
Studor offers high-quality solutions for all commercial and residential buildings, eliminating the need for roof penetrations and extensive group vent piping. Providing a range of valves, and complete systems to limit pressure fluctuations guaranteeing the integrity of the traps, Studor will support you with solutions and services to ensure you eliminate drainage smells with a maintenance-free drainage system.
LOW-RISE BUILDINGS
In low-rise buildings the standardised plumbing design has proven to work without using active drainage ventilation. Typical residential roof penetrations, however can be avoided using a Maxi-Vent; keeping the roof intact and the plumbing system internal for better insulation.
MEDIUM-RISE BUILDINGS
In medium-rise buildings (up to 12 levels) traps can be depleted by induced siphonage, a phenomena in which a flush on one level causes negative pressures in the pipe system which acts on traps of other levels. The Mini-Vent placed on each horizontal branch will kill any negative pressure and protect the traps. The Maxi-Vent will avoid a roof penetration.
HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS
In high-rise buildings (above 12 levels) there will be negative and positive pressures that influence the water seal in the traps. The P.A.P.A. (Positive Air Pressure Attenuator) dampens the positive pressure and in conjunction with the Mini-Vent and Maxi-Vent offers a complete active drainage ventilation system for high-rise buildings.
RETRO-FIT BUILDINGS
In existing buildings drainage problems like slow wastewater drainage, gurgling noises, foul odours and trap seal depletion are largely due to negative pressures and can be solved by adding Air Admittance Valves. Retrofitting vertical stacks with P.A.P.A.s. will deal with existing positive pressure problems in high-rise buildings.
