kitchen vent stack being re-routed?
Posted by Holly on February 07, 19101 at 15:08:46:
We are thinking of installing a much wider kitchen window where our current one exists.
Just to the left of the existing window is the vent stack, which also connects to the
washing machine beneath it in the basement.

Question - can we reroute the vent stack itself at the kitchen floor level, so that it turns
90 degrees horizontally, runs about 2' to the left of the sink, then turns vertical again to run
alongside the new window height, then turns 90 degrees horizontally again above the window
and finally connects to the existing top piece of the vent stack that runs through the roof?

Or should the length of the vent stack itself be completely vertical?

Thanks for any input!
