7.5.8.4. — Vent Stacks, or Stack Vents

(1) A vent stack, or stack vent shall be sized in accordance with Table 7.5.8.4. based on,

(a) the length of the vent stack or stack vent, and

(b) the total hydraulic load that is drained to the lowest section of soil or waste stack or stacks served by the vent pipe, plus any additional vent loads connected to the vent stack or stack vent.

(2) For the purposes of Table 7.5.8.4., the length of a stack vent or vent stack shall be its developed length from its lower end to open air.

(3) The minimum size of vent stack or stack vent shall be one-half the size of the soil or waste stack at its base.

(4) A stack vent serving a wet vent stack that is over 4 storeys high shall extend the full size of the wet vent to open air.

(5) Every sanitary building drain shall be provided with at least one vent that is not less than 3 in. in size.

Editor's note

In Table 7.5.8.4., the Column 3 heading is filed in O. Reg. 350/06 as the two-word 'Water Occupied Area'; this map reproduces the source as filed. The e-Laws consolidation drops the space between the words, rendering it as 'Water OccupiedArea'. This change was not enacted by an amending regulation.
