Hi all,
Custard has this open topped bit of soil which obviously stinks. She has bought two, for some reason, AAV's and tried sticking them in the end but still stinks.
I've zero experience with soil and vent but I'm guessing the soil needs the socket cut off and these get solvent welded inside the pipe? Although not sure what the difference is between them. One has a chamfered end, the other not but both seemed, to my eye, to have the same OD measurement.
If this is not what should be done, can someone tell me what should be?
She ideally doesn't want the soil extended to above roof level but if that's the only proper way then so be it.

Many Thanks
 
Right one looks like it will fit in the socket but I would go to roof less hassle
