I am glad I can use AAV anywhere I want here in GA. I have seen a entire house vented to the attic and then AAV on top. They were like 2 feet from the roof, I dont know why they didnt go through the roof. They had a problem with the toilets flushing. I put the vents through the roof and WAAAA LAAAA no more problems. So I would like to say "thanks" to the plumber who did this, it was an EZ job and paid well.

This happens all the time here there and everywhere, Sink drains into trap, from trap goes to the vent, vent out the roof, explain your it's below the flood level rim. When is the drain from a fixture ever above the flood level rim before it hits a vent?


What is the difference in the vent pickup other then difficulty in cleaning of the drain though the vent, don't say there both below the 6" level zone. Cause you did not read my post very well.

We all know what it means Ron. I believe The Master just likes to stir the pot.

They will not allow a sant. tee in the horizontal here unless its 6" above the flood level rim of the fixture. Their reasoning is if the drain cloggs then that portion of the vent can become effectivly part of the drain at this point. Ok now the drain gets unclogged from the cleanout in the basement but the vent still is clogged ........its re-vented back to the main stack......no way to clean it out. Ok they figure if the vent connection has a long sweep it will unclogg itself. Kinda like a toilets vent cant go horizontal less than 45 degrees below the flood level rim unless its washed by a fixture because its vent can become clogged easily if the system backs up. Our rule actually says NO sant tee's in the horizontal position unless its in the vent system.......in your example the tee is IN the fixture arm in the horizontal on its back......and they would fail it here everytime. I would pass it for you if you had cleanouts and the vent went out the roof.....not revented in the wall back to a stack or into the attic with 90 degree turns everywhere. A simple drain cleaning job turns into a 1/2 day ordeal without arrangments for cables to make turns. I've been accused of smoking it but never stiring it

TheMaster

I did read it your post...but the difference is when the tee is in the vertical the drain continues vertically to become the vent and is straight. With the tee in the horizontal,if the drain cloggs and backs up into the vent it would need to drain through a fitting designed to be installed in the vertical position on its back. What would be the big deal of using a combo instead of the tee even if the only reason was for cleaning purpose.?...thats reason enough for me

Ron

I was just telling you that they have already allows us people to use santee/s, want to take your mind for a spin, open your eyes to these pictures, not mine thou.

What a load of malarky. SHOW me chapter and verse in your code book where it says sanitary tees cannot be used for dry vents off the top of a sanitary drain.

Are you plumbing under IPC 2006?

TheMaster

Wow that wouldn't pass here. I agree some places its just fine. I gave ya a reson why I dont really care for it being done that way. It makes me more money somtimes but most of the time it doesn't matter. I just like using sweeping fittings...always have. Whats wrong with stiring the pot alittle anyway?
