9 times out of ten if you are needing to do an island drain/vent the HO is doing a remodel and you can get it done correctly.
If that one time I can not do a proper island drain/vent and all the option is to install an AAV. I'll turn down the job. IMHO an AAV is a cop out. A mechanical device that can fail. Had a customer call for a kitchen sink slow to drain and toliet bolw that would almost empty when she drained the sink. Some dumb azz terminated the vent in the attic with a AAV. Cut off the AAV and went through the roof. Again this is just my $.02 If you choose to use them then

aav`s have their place. and they must be installed correctly and a approved product. the approved ones are not mechanical. the small black ones give all the other ones a bad name.
they will almost never work on a septic tank system. or if the building drain holds water |

It's kinda funny...
Years ago the only place you saw AAV's was on tin houses on wheels... Now the tin houses on wheels have vents through the roof... And multi million dollar custom homes have AAV's... Go Figure...
