VENTS Systern allows atmospheric air from outside the building into the ppping system to the outlet (or discharge) enc of tne trap prevents siphonage of a trap seal in fixture traps and allows gravity flow of drainage. The air is supplied through pipes known as "VENTS; and the pressure on the outiet end of the seal is equal to the pressure on the inlet end Types of vent Individual/Back Vent/Revent These types af vent are installed in a give to vent a fixture trap connected to the vent system above the fixture it serves. It connects directly with any individual waste or group of wastes underneath or at the back of a fixture and extends to eter a vent stack or a bran vent Vent Stack, Main Vent — Vertical vent pipes are slaced primarily to provide air circulation to or from any portion of the building's drainage system. Stack Vent, Soil or Waste Vent “Tne expansion of soil or dears stacks {to the open air) is linnted by the hignest horizontal oranon, drain, or fixture branch connected to the stack Stack Venting continuous venting of a single future or a group of futures directly into the soil or waste stack. Thus, @ group of fixtures such as those from a bathroom and a kitchen can be installed without providing individual fitture vents-provided each fixt We use cookies: clicking "Accept, you consent to the use of ALL the cookies.

A Looped Vent-a type of ventiiation system used in fixtures in a room away from a wall or partition Looped Vent- These tyaes of vent systems are used in fixtures in a room away from a wall or partition, Relief Vent - 4 branch connectes to @ horizontal brancn between the fixture branch and the soil or waste stack, the orimary function of which is lo provide air circulation between the vent stack and the soil or waste stack It's also an auxiliary vent that connects the vent stack to the soil or waste stack in mutistory oulldings and is used to equalize oressure differences between them Yoke Vent~ A pine leacing upward from a soll or waste si stack is used to orevent pressure changes in the stack Wet Vent - A pipe, usualy oversized, wnien functions botn as a fixture branch and as @ vent, e.g a waste pipe that also serves as @ vent... Wet vents are used to reduce the vent piping required fer a given installation by making individual nipes serve two purposes. Their use simplifies the drainage system and substantially reduces its cost Combination Waste and Vent ~ is a type of ventilation systern tnat functions as both a vent anc a waste conductor It is a specially designed system that enables waste pining, purposely oversized, to serve both as a waste and a vent pipe to avoid excessive pneumatic effects at fixture drains Dry Vent ~ It is a types of vent that transports neither waterborne nor airborne waste, Crown vent~ These types of vents are connected ta the crown, Blind Vent — a vent pise which terminates at the upger side of the fixture and does not connect to the rainage system, with the intent of cheating Fixture Vent ~ 2 vent pipe conn pipe of to the atmosphere ing the drainage pipe to another vent Branch vent ~ 2 vent thal connects one ar more ingividual vents to 2 vent stack or stack vent, We use cookies: clicking "Accept, you consent to the use of ALL the cookies.
