Hello,
If someone could answer the following question for me it would be appreciated. And the units I am using are from the UPC.
If I have a 2" vent that can serve a total of 24 FU can I split the fixtures on opposite sides of the room into 1.5" vents (as long as each side doesn't exceed 8 FU) and tie them together into a 1.5" x 1.5" x 2" tee to run up to connect with the main stack? They would all run vertical until 6" above the flood elevation of the highest fixture.
Am I correct in summing the FU for each vent branch? i.e.
Vent one (1.5") has a total of 7 FU and Vent two (1.5") has a total of 5 FU so each vent alone is under the 8 FU for a 1.5" vent. So tying them together for a total of 12 FU in a 2" vent is acceptable because it is under 24 FU?
Thanks for all of the expert advise received. It is tremendously helpful.
