Any combination of fixtures located on the same floor level is permitted to be vented by a wet vent. The wet vent shall be considered the vent for the fixtures and shall extend from the connection of the dry vent along the direction of the flow in the drain pipe to the most downstream fixture drain connection to the horizontal branch drain. Each wet-vented fixture drain shall connect independently to the horizontal wet vent. A residential clothes washer drain line shall not be used as a wet vent.
Any combination of fixtures located on the same floor level is permitted to be vented by a vertical wet vent. The vertical wet vent shall be considered the vent for the fixtures and shall extend from the connection of the dry vent down to the lowest fixture drain connection. Each wet-vented fixture shall connect independently to the vertical wet vent. Water closet drains shall connect at the same elevation. Other fixture drains shall connect above or at the same elevation as the water closet fixture drains.
The dry-vent connection to the vertical wet vent shall be an individual or common vent serving one or two fixtures. The required dry-vent connection for wet-vented systems shall comply with Sections The dry-vent connection for a horizontal wet- vent system shall be an individual vent or a common vent for any fixture, except an emergency floor drain.
Where the dry-vent connects to a water closet fixture drain , the drain shall connect horizontally to the horizontal wet- vent system. The dry-vent connection for a vertical wet- vent system shall be an individual vent or common vent for the most upstream fixture drain. The dry vent serving the wet vent shall be sized based on the largest required diameter of pipe within the wet- vent system served by the dry vent. The wet vent shall be of a size not less than that specified in Table Section Waste Stack Vent.
A waste stack shall be considered a vent for all of the fixtures discharging to the stack where installed in accordance with the requirements of this section. The waste stack shall be vertical, and both horizontal and vertical offsets shall be prohibited between the lowest fixture drain connection and the highest fixture drain connection. Fixture drains shall connect separately to the waste stack. The stack shall not receive the discharge of water closets or urinals.
A stack vent shall be provided for the waste stack. The size of the stack vent shall be not less than the size of the waste stack. Offsets shall be permitted in the stack vent , shall be located not less than 6 inches mm above the flood level of the highest fixture and shall be in accordance with Section The stack vent shall be permitted to connect with other stack vents and vent stacks in accordance with Section The waste stack shall be sized based on the total discharge to the stack and the discharge within a branch interval in accordance with Table The waste stack shall be the same size throughout its length.
Section Circuit Venting. A maximum of eight fixtures connected to a horizontal branch drain shall be permitted to be circuit vented. Each fixture drain shall connect horizontally to the horizontal branch being circuit vented. The horizontal branch drain shall be classified as a vent from the most downstream fixture drain connection to the most upstream fixture drain connection to the horizontal branch. Circuit-vented horizontal branch drains are permitted to be connected together.
Each group of a maximum of eight fixtures shall be considered a separate circuit vent and shall conform to the requirements of this section.
The circuit vent connection shall be located between the two most upstream fixture drains. The vent shall connect to the horizontal branch and shall be installed in accordance with Section The circuit vent pipe shall not receive the discharge of any soil or waste. The slope of the vent section of the horizontal branch drain shall be not greater than one unit vertical in 12 units horizontal 8. The entire length of the vent section of the horizontal branch drain shall be sized for the total drainage discharge to the branch.
Drainage discharge dfu values for horizontal fixture branches shall be reduced 50 percent in Table Each separate circuit-vented horizontal branch that is interconnected shall be sized independently in accordance with Section The downstream circuit-vented horizontal branch shall be sized for the total discharge into the branch , including the upstream branches and the fixtures within the branch.
A relief vent shall be provided for circuit-vented horizontal branches receiving the discharge of four or more water closets and connecting to a drainage stack that receives the discharge of soil or waste from upper horizontal branches.
The relief vent shall connect to the horizontal branch drain between the stack and the most downstream fixture drain of the circuit vent. The relief vent shall be installed in accordance with Section The relief vent is permitted to be a fixture drain or fixture branch for fixtures located within the same branch interval as the circuit-vented horizontal branch.
The maximum discharge to a relief vent shall be four fixture units. Fixtures, other than the circuitvented fixtures, are permitted to discharge to the horizontal branch drain.
Such fixtures shall be located on the same floor as the circuit-vented fixtures and shall be either individually or common vented. Section Combination Waste and Vent System. Plans and specifications for each combination waste and vent system shall be submitted to the plumbing official, and approval shall be obtained before any installation is started.
A combination waste and vent system is limited to sinks, dishwashers, floor sinks, indirect waste receptors , floor drains or similar applications where the fixtures are not adjacent to walls or partitions. It consists of the installation of waste piping in which the trap of the fixture is not individually vented. Appurtenances delivering large quantities of water or sewage such as pumps shall be excluded in a combination waste and vent system to ensure that adequate venting will be maintained.
The vent shall be sized for the total drainage fixture unit load in accordance with Section The fixture branch or fixture drain shall connect to the combination waste and vent within a distance specified in Table The combination waste and vent pipe shall be considered the vent for the fixture. Dishwashers and scullery sinks in commercial buildings shall drain through a grease interceptor sized in accordance with this code, and they shall discharge into a floor sink through a minimum air gap.
Every waste pipe and trap in this system shall be at least two pipe sizes larger than the size required in Chapter 7 , and at least two pipe sizes larger than any fixture tailpiece or connection, except that when P traps are installed above the floor, the P trap and horizontal fixture drain need not meet this requirement.
The vertical waste pipe two sizes larger than the fixture outlet connection shall be extended above the floor to normal roughing height, and a cleanout shall be installed in top of the connecting waste tee.
The fixture drain length shall be limited by Table Floor sinks shall be connected through a running trap two pipe sizes larger than the sink outlet. Floor sink and waste piping from the floor sink to the trap shall be sized for the total fixture units draining thereto, based on Table A vent shall be provided at the upstream end of each branch , washed over or under by the last fixture on the branch.
No vent shall take off from the horizontal waste branch at an angle of less than 45 degrees 0. A minimum size vent shall be located at all points where branches intersect. A vent shall be located downstream from all fixtures in the system, in addition to the upstream vent, separating this system from all other systems in the building. No fixtures other than those permitted in Section The design of the system shall ensure that the vertical distance from fixture or drain outlet to trap weir does not exceed 24 inches mm.
Long runs shall be provided with additional relief vents located at intervals of not more than feet 30 mm to equalize pressure in the system. Amendment styling: Highlight changes enacted by your local jurisdiction.
