In response to Re: vent systems
Has anyone ever heard of a BOCA or BOMA vent? It apparently is a rubber cap you put at the end of a PVC pipe that acts as a vent allowing you to vent a pipe in a wall without the necessity to run the vent up to the attic. Does it comply with building codes and is it effective and safe? : >I want to install a new vent system without tying in to the existing vent pipe. I wanted to include a washing machine drain with a new, add-on kitchen sink drain in this seperate vent system. : >The old kitchen sink and washer drain into the same pipe and then into a seperate gray water system whereas, the existing vent system drains into in the septic tank. : >Can this be done in already existing walls? There is attic space but is the only access into the attic through existing walls and/or frame?
