Hello all!
I am putting a outdoor kitchen on the roof of a condo building. I can run a new waste stack up though the roof for the drain, but I question the logical need. If I run the outdoor kitchen drain to the roof vent of a bar sink it would be much easier.
This line of thinking got me reading about the importance of vents, but my reading has not detailed the terrible consequences if I go to the dark side. I could see a "plug" of water rushing down the 2" vent and causing noise and displacement of the 1.5" trap on the bar sink, but its all in a vertical pipe and that seems unlikely. This 2" pipe only has a bar sink right now and I remain tempted...
Can you explain why the pressurization changes and hydraulic pressures of this ill advised idea won't work, or in what cases would this be a problem?
Thanks!
