Saw an interesting device in the home store today. Replaces the need for a
vent on a drain line. Essentially a 6" nozzle with a one-way valve to let
air in but not out. Probably been around for a while, but first time I've
seen one.

Has anyone tried one of these? I daren't ask whether it meets code.....
Presumably would only be workable in an accessible situation such as a sink
or basin.

Lots of info he

Yes, it must remain accessible.

Code acceptable? Depends.
We don't have a "National" Code (US) and
big differences exist between regions of the
country.

Won't replace the stack vent, but can be used
on individual fixture traps.
