    This document discusses requirements for venting plumbing drainage systems. It covers what fixtures require vents (Section 901), exceptions where vents are not needed (Section 902), approved vent materials (Section 903), sizing of vents based on pipe length and fixtures (Section 904), requirements for vent pipe grades and connections (Section 905), termination of vent pipes and stacks (Section 906), and vent stacks for tall buildings (Section 907). The purpose of vents is to allow air circulation throughout the drainage system and prevent siphonage and backpressure on fixture traps.

    CORDERO, Mark Lemuel R.

    ESE131 B1
    Introduction to Vents
    (sec. 901) VENTS REQUIRED
    (sec. 902) VENTS NOT REQUIRED
    (sec. 903) MATERIALS
    (sec. 904) SIZE OF VENTS
    (sec. 905) VENT PIPE GRADES AND CONNECTIONS
    (sec. 906) VENT TERMINATION
    (sec. 907) VENT STACKS AND RELIEF VENTS
    SECTION 901 : VENTS REQUIRED
    Each plumbing fixture trap, except as otherwise provided in
    this Code, shall be protected against siphonage and back-
    pressure. Air circulation shall be assured throughout all parts
    of the excreta drainage system by means of vent pipes
    installed in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter
    and as required in this Code.
    SECTION 902 : VENTS NOT REQUIRED
    Where permitted by the Administrative Authority, vent piping may be omitted

    on an interceptor when such interceptor acts as primary settling tank and


    discharges through a horizontal indirect waste pipe into a secondary interceptor.
    The second intercentor shall be properly tapped and vented.

    Traps serving sinks which are part of the equipment of bars, soda fountains and
    counters need not be vented when the location and construction c i such bars,

    soda fountains and counters is to make it impossible to do so. When such


    conditions exist, said sink shall discharge by means of approved indirect waste

    pipe into a floor sink or other approved type receptor.


    SECTION 903 : MATERIALS
    Vent pipes shall be cast iron, ductile cast iron, galvanized
    steel, galvanized wrought iron, lead, copper, brass, Schedule
    40, ABS, DWV, Series 1000, PVC, DWV or other approved
    materials having a smooth and uniform bore except that:

    No galvanized wrought iron or galvanized steel pipe shall be use underground and
    shall be kept at least 15 cm. above ground.
    Horizontal and vertical vent lines and vent stacks shall be copper, cast iron, galvanized
    wrought iron or polyvinyl chloride pipes.
    SECTION 903 : MATERIALS
    Vent fittings shall be cast iron, galvanized malleable iron
    or galvanized steel, lead, copper, brass, ABS, PVC, or other
    approved materials, except that no galvanized malleable
    iron or galvanized steel fittings shall be buried
    underground but shall be kept at least 152 mm above
    finish ground level.

    Changes in direction of vent piping shall be made by the appropriate use of


    approved fittings and no such pipe shall be strained or bent. Burred ends shall be
    reamed to the ful! bore of the pipe.
    SECTION 904 : SIZE OF VENTS
    The size of vent piping shall be determined from its length and the total number of fixture units connected thereto, in
    accordance with Table 703.2. The diameter of an individual vent shall be not less than 11/4 inches (32 mm) nor less than one-
    half the diameter of the drain to which it is connected. In addition, the drainage piping of each building and each
    connection to a public sewer or a private sewage disposal system shall be vented by means of one or more vent pipes, the
    aggregate cross-sectional area of which shall be not less than that of the largest required building sewer as determined
    from Table 703.2. Vent pipes from fixtures located upstream from pumps, ejectors, backwater valves, or other devices that
    obstruct the free flow of air and other gases between the building sewer and the outside atmosphere shall not be used for
    meeting the cross-sectional area venting requirements of this section.
    Exception: Where connected to a common building sewer, the drainage piping of two or more buildings located on the same
    lot and under one ownership shall be permitted to be vented by means of piping sized in accordance with Table 703.2,
    provided the aggregate cross-sectional area of vents is not less than that of the largest required common building sewer.

    The length of horizontal portion of a vent may exceed ons-third (1/3) of the total length of vertical and horizontal portions as
    limited by Table 7. provided the vent is increased to one pipe size larger for its entire length.
    SECTION 905 : VENT PIPE GRADES AND CONNECTION

    All horizontal vent and branch vent pipes shall


    be free from drops or say and each such vent
    shall be graded and connected to drip back by
    gravity to the drainage pipe it serves.

    Where vents connect to a horizontal drainage


    pipe, such vent pip. connection shall have its
    invert taken off above the drainage centerline of
    such pipe downstream of the trap being served.
    SECTION 905 : VENT PIPE GRADES AND CONNECTION

    Unless prohibited by structural conditions, each


    vent shall rise vertically to a point not less than
    152.mm above the highest flood level rim of the
    fixtures served before offsetting horizontally to
    join the vent stack or stack vent and the bottom
    connection shall be installed with approved
    drainage fittings and installed with proper grade
    to the horizontal drain.
    SECTION 905 : VENT PIPE GRADES AND CONNECTION

    All vent pipes shall extend undiminished in size above the roof or
    shall be reconnected with the soil or waste stack vent of proper
    size at a point below the roof, the vent through the roof (VSTR)
    shall be increased one (1) pipe size above the reconnection point of
    stack vent and horizontal vent.
    The vent pipe opening from a soil or waste pipe, except for water
    closets and similar fixtures, shall not be below the weir of the trap
    Two (2) fixtures may be served by a common vertical vent pipe
    when each such fixture wastes separately into an approved double
    branch fitting having inlet openings at the same level.
    SECTION 906 : VENT TERMINATION
    Each vent pipe or stack through roof (SVTR) shall extend its flashing all around and the stack
    vent shall terminate vertically not less than 15 cm above the roof nor less than 0.3 meter from
    any vertical surface nearby.
    Each vent opening shall terminate not less than three (3) meters from, or at least 0.9 meter
    above any openable window, door opening, air intake or vent shaft, nor less than 0.9 meter
    away from any lot line, alley and street boundary lines.

    Vent pipes shall be extended separately or combined, of full required size.


    not less than 15 cm above the roof or fire wall. Flagpoling of vents is
    prohibited except where the roof is used for nurnoses other than weather
    protection.
    Vertical vent pipes for outdcor installations shall extend to at least 3 meter
    distant from any part of the roof that is used for other purposes and shall
    extend not less than 2.1 meter above such roof and shall be securely stayed.
    .
    Joints at the roof around stack vent pipes shall be made watertight by the use of approved flashing material and installation.
    SECTION 907 : VENT STACKS AND RELIEF VENTS

    Each soil or waste stack which extends ten (10) or more stories
    above the building drain shall be served by a parallel vent stack
    which shall extend undiminished in size from its upper terminal at
    the roof and connect to the soil or waste stack at ground level
    and at every fifth floor levels with a "yoke vent" at a point below
    the horizontal soil or waste branch connection to the stack and at
    the nearby vent stack above the same floor to provide a relief
    vent. The size of yoke vent shall be not less in diameter than
    either the soil stack or the vent stack, whichever is smaller.
    The yoke vent connection with the vent stack shall be placed not less than 1.0
    meter above the floor level, and the yoke vent connection with the drainage
    stack shall be by means of a wye branch fitting placed below the fixture branch
    serving that floor.
