      Re check your information from 5:15 about the IPC code regarding 3 toilets. Check the footnotes of table 710.1(1).
      There are footnotes on allot of these tables that are basically exceptions to the rule. Hope that helps your future study.

If your WC is on an upper floor, the long drop can cause problems because of the lack of venting. So...you might end up having to go back and installing a vent for the WC anyway.

    Sometimes a "wye" fitting won't work because the Joist space is too short and may possibly be more expensive as you need to use a 2" 45 fitting to make it ready to plumb the vent vertically. The most appropriate fitting in this instance is a 3x2 "tee" on it's back.
    If backwash venting/ wet venting then a wye is most definitely in order.

    Thanks for all of the great info! I'm looking to actually cut out a vent pipe to an old basement toilet that's been removed and the waste pipe has been capped. Do you see any issues with simply cutting the pipe out between the concrete floor and ceiling of the basement and capping off both ends? The roof vents have weather caps to prevent water from gathering at the bottom of the capped vent pipe.
    I had a plumber mention that he would do this, but I opted at the time to not pay him to do it and don't know if it was any more involved than he described. Thanks!

    I have a vent already going through the edge of the roof of the back of the house. I'm moving the soil pipe to a side of the house as I am building a single storey extension. I wonder if I could use the top most part of the existing vent by connecting it to the new soil pipe by running it around the house along the wall. Is it allowed and is it something I can do? The existing soil pipe and vent runs straight up from about 100cm from the (outside) corner of the building in the back of the house. We are to move that to the side of the house about the same distance from the same corner of the house. So the new pipe will continue from the ground up to where it connects to the first floor toilet and then straight up (vent) and instead of creating a new hole through the roof on the side of the house, bent the vent pipe towards the edge/corner (100cm), bent it and run it along the back wall (100cm) and then connect to top part of the current vent which already runs through the roof and opens above the roof.

    One thing I would like to see addressed would be vented covers for the vent pipe that exits the building. As a custodian for 25 years I have seen times when the wind is blowing from the right direction hard enough, it will create a suction on the vent system strong enough to actually pull the water out of all of the traps. I have actually seen a toilet gurgling because enough water had been sucked out that it had become low enough that the air flow could not pull more water out but not so low that there was an open space for the air to flow without going through a small amount of water.
    The best traps in the world do not amount to a pile of packing peanuts if your sewer vent is sucking the water out and leaving a path for sewer gas to enter the building after the wind dies down.

      The range of men's hearing is different from the range of women's. Like the eyesight of insects that feed on flower nectar range into ultraviolet and some predatory animal's eyesight range into the infrared.
      If the wind is blowing hard enough to cause your walls to rumble there is most likely nothing you can do to prevent the PVC stack from vibrating either. You would either need to build a wall that blocks the wind or make major modifications to the building. A vent pipe vent cover is not going to fix what your problem is.

    Funny how this was on my timeline. I did Vo-Tech in carpentry for 3 years. We remodeling a home for training. I got the master bathroom. The instructor said this is your Budget and this is the code book. Code books are easy. 2 things. Minimum size max size. Min 2” max 4”. Done. But venting toilet problem. Instructor told me about this venting and said all other vents to it. I Learned this back in 1987. The instructor said what the video talked about. Why do you see odd things like a 3 inch vent pipe or in some cases a 4 inch vent pipe. If you have the room run one or two of them because somewhere in the codes you can only have so many vent pipes in to one. Like in the bathroom bathtub , 2 sinks , toilet all into a little 1.5 or 2 inch vent pipe that would not pass codes because if all of the appliances are running at the same time it ends up not being adequate venting. What was I gonna say he’s the instructor.

      ... up north they don't get too strict on the vent size inside the house but going through the roof MUST be at least 3 inches because the more water flows the more likely it will frost up in the winter. Yeah, there's lots of older homes with 1 or 2 inch vents and those are probably single bath houses.... AND... it seldom goes to -20 outside.... BUT... that's why we have a new code. (because some DO freeze up)

It should be a four-inch pipe that comes off and comes right up to the top of the ground somewhere in this area. Nope not the case. This was like two years ago three years ago. My neighbors like what are you doing. Digging a hole running another check and vent pipe. He shaking his head. Well I got it all done. I see this on RUclips about a month ago two months ago I can’t see when I posted. Maybe it was just a post from a state that said they change the codes or something. But I was always taught when I was in that field that’s how you run your vent pipes. As soon as I put mine in my wife comes out of the bathroom and goes what did you do to the toilet. She says it sounds like a vacuum cleaner when you flush it now. I said I eliminated back pressure lack of venting I allowed the water to go where it needs to go without any restriction so it creates a vacuum in the toilet bowl now. Because how fast the water is leaving the toilet. Now it’s a good thing because when we put the new environmental lesser water toilet in. It will flush perfectly.

    As a service plumber, i appreciate at least a 3 inch vent line for a toilet and no reduction in size from original inlet. so if the toilet flange is 4 inches i expect the rest of the main line to be 4 inches other wise use a 3 inch toilet flange. and the same for the vent if im on the roof and the vent pipe is 3 inches i expect the rest of the vent to be 3 inches and to not reduce to 2 inches.

      Ask a master, the always Cary the upc code book, I’ve been plumbing 40 years.
      Journeyman plumbers can only do a limited amount of work.
      A master plumber is required for any plumbing company

    when looking at a T or Y is the 3rd dimension always the T/Y part? 3x3x2 for example, the Y part is always the last one?

    Chicago still requires 3"x2" tee to vent a toilet. Most counties got different codes.. u should mention that. Venting by Wye u can add a sink to this vent and make wet vent..
