Your so-called "flat vents" are used routinely where I live. I think your concerns about these vents becoming obstructed are
a little far-fetched. I've demo'd plenty of those vents, some of them a century or more old, and never seen the slightest
sign of blockage. I've never even heard of such a thing happening.
Let me ask you this: referring to the drawing in the original post, suppose this is a new w.c. in a 2nd floor bathroom
remodel. The wall is where it is, the waste stack is 15 feet away and has been for the last 50 years, there are no fixtures
nearby that can reasonably be made to drain thru that vent. This kind of thing is typical in remodeling scenarios. What
else can be done except using a flat vent?
