    Proper Loop Vent?

    I’m in the middle of remodeling a house we just purchased. I have attached a photo of the “loop vent” below for our kitchen sink. The would be sink and p-trap are on the opposite side. It appears that the vent and drain dive into the same pipe as it goes into the ground (I am on slab). Sink...

    Is this venting correct for a sink below a window?

    I am remodeling my home and the plumber said this how they vent an island sink, and it would work and be in code. There is a window above the sink, and they said this was the reason they chose this method. They said it was some kind of closed loop vent...ok. 1) Is it right? 2) If not, what does...

    Island loop vent failed inspection

    Looking for some help in understanding what I've done wrong and why this loop vent doesn't work. The vent side slopes towards the loop, the drain slopes away. A p-trap is above the floor on the drain side, and the vent side connects to the drain side as high as possible under a counter top...

    Why is loop venting generally prohibited?

    After running into the problem of how to vent my yurt without roof or side-wall penetrations, I realized that a loop vent would appear to solve all of my problems by allowing me to run a vent under the floor and up the exterior side of my yurt wall. However, loop venting under the IPC is...

    Peninsula venting in level counter

    We have our sink in the peninsula with the vent running through a half wall to the exterior wall where the vent stack is. The house was built in 2003. It is not code right now (6" above flood level of sink) because the vent is 34.5" from the floor and my current top mount sink is 37". We...
