Ok. I have had the AAV off for a couple weeks now. I figured it was time to re-install. Wanted to test it first.

I put it in the freezer. The valve was open before and after.

I got the wife hair dryer out and got it hot enough to NOT hold on to. But the valve stayed open.

I got my drill battery out and jumped it to the connector. Very quickly the valve closed.

I decided to blow threw it. Air did not move quickly thru it, but i could hear the hissing as it came out.

So the question is: is the AAV supposed to close up tight?
