I was wondering about something, Can you have too many vents? If the idea was to keep the atmospheric pressure close to equal or within 1" W.C., is ok to have say 12.56 in drain and something crazy like 25 in vent?
@BGsPlumbingClass
2 жыл бұрын
Great question! If I'm to understand the example, if my building sewer is 4" (12.56 square inches) would it be okay to have a total vent cross sectional area of 25 square inches? The idea is to equalize atmospheric pressure, and more vents added only helps to ensure that.

In order to look up the information on exhausts, you should look in Chapter 5- Water Heaters. It is primarily codes on combustion air and the exhaust requirements of gas appliances. Check there and please get back to me if you need further information.

I have a dual vanity above a kitchen sink. My vent for the dual vanity only rises about 4" above the F.L.P. then goes horizontal about 5-6 feet then goes vertical. In the middle of the horizontal run the kitchen vent joins in. The vent pipe is 1.5" until it enters the attic, from there it keeps increasing in size as more it is joined by more vent pipes. I was told that I have 2 choices to get more venting. 1. The horizontal vent from the dual vanity needed to be increased. Or, 2. I need to run a vertical vent pipe up the wall to be the vent pipe for the for the dual vanities. I was wondering if I run a vertical vent pipe up the wall do I need to separate the dual vanity from the horizontal vent pipe or is it ok to have two vent pipes supplying the same fixtures? I'm just trying to come up with a way to mitigate the damage to a custom built-in vanity.

I guess the first question would be when the vent goes to horizontal from vertical at 4" above the flood level rim, was a drainage fitting used and is the horizontal line graded at 1/4" per foot back to the vanity? If so, then it is legal (905.3). At the point of connection between the kitchen and vanity vents, is it 6"above flood level rim? If so, it is legal (same section). Also, keep in mind if you had to tie these in at that elevation due to structural limitations- i.e. a window above the kitchen sink- your administrative authority may allow it as long as you used drainage fittings and kept to the grade on the horizontal. Sizing is not an issue in this case as an 1 1/2" line can carry up to 8 fixture units which you are under. I would like to see a picture of the scenario if possible. Email me at gorhambm@outlook.com and more can be determined.

@@BGsPlumbingClass All of the venting pipes/fittings are drainage and it all has a 1/4" pitch towards the drainage. Also, I thought the flood level rim was where the overflow valve in the sink was located but I was told today it is not and it is actually at the counter level or top of sink. With the flood level rim being at that location my previous description of 4" above is wrong. I will send you some pictures of the plumbing before the walls went up and the vanity was built. The plumbing is built in a knee wall which is the back of the vanity. The venting wasn't run up the vanity wall because all the plumbing in the house stayed out of exterior walls to maximize the R-value. I know it may not seem like a good valid reason but it is why it ended up like this.

The other fixes where sanitary tee's were used where wye's should be so they needed to be changed out.

I was under the impression that the circuit vent had to be between toilet 7 & 8 , not behind toilet #8, or rather before the last trap? was it because you started your sketch, then changed your mind? (i'm look at 48:11)

You are correct. The circuit vent is to be between the two most upstream fixtures and the relief vent just past the most downstream fixture if tied into a stack.
@enochheise67224 ай бұрын
at 18:35, you show a vent being offset horizontally with long sweep 90s before it gets 6" above the flood level rim. Isn't this a direct violation of the very first part of 905.3? Don't you have to use 45s to offset below flood level rim to keep it within the definition of "vertical"?
@BGsPlumbingClass
4 ай бұрын
That's a great question! So, if structural conditions prohibit vertical means, then an offset using drainage fittings can be used. The first sentence in 905.3 states "Unless prohibited by structural conditions..." That is the justification for such an offset. Again, great question, I hope I was able to clarify this for you.
