How to vent plumbing through the roof | Garage to Apartment Conversion | Episode 11

The caulk tip tip at the end was great. Thanks for that extra tid-bit.

Thanks for watching the WHOLE thing Benjamin!!

I like to put deck screws in the end of my tubes before I store them. Just unscrew with your fingers when ready to use again. They usually discharge a little easier through the void the screw produces.

Thank you Dave

Might need a longer pipe 10:23 extension above the roof in places with lots of snow…

[@royalwapiti]

Umm, need a longer ladder...I would have drilled the hole in the roof, then put flashing on, then poked PVC thru the flashing. Then cut pvc 6" longer....not a pro, I am just a DYIer too!

[@Troyster94806]

I've never done this type of work before, so I'm no expert, but I think it might be a good idea to position the flashing in place before pushing the pipe through.

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

I think I'll try that next time. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@rickybobby7276]

What about the piece that goes over the pvc on the top? That PVC doesn't stay exposed like that on the roof does it?

[@FamilyFriendlyDIY]

It does. Some people paint them to prevent UV light damage, but this is usually how it's done. The rubber on the boot will dry out and fail within 15 years or so, and then I'd put a "Perma Boot" over it: www.homedepot.com/p/Perma-Boot-Pipe-Boot-Repair-for-3-in-I-D-Vent-Pipe-Black-Color-PBR-312-3BK/202581375?g_store=&source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-CM-CML-GGL-D22-022_010_ROOFING-NA-NA-NA-PMAX-5718363-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NEW-Pmax-CL3TestB&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-CM-CML-GGL-D22-022_010_ROOFING-NA-NA-NA-PMAX-5718363-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NEW-Pmax-CL3TestB-71700000114656620--&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_e2wBhAEEiwAyFFFowO6xjk_H1G_nMsaBXUAtcHULqpDtODjITZrN6yJqBZnkIYIWUgntxoCIqIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Why did you not put vent cap that allows it to draw air in on sides or turns to side so rain doesnot go straight down the pipe?

[@robchurchill1368]

Any water down the pipe would go into the sewer drain anyway. However, the wider the pipe the less chance of frost buildup closing up the inside of the vent pipe and it's better at pulling air in if there is multiple floors of plumbing. Usually, the main stack is at least 3" through the entire length including through the roof.

[@robchurchill1368]

It's all out there to look up. Section (b)Main stack. Each gravity-flow sanitary building sewer shall be served by at least one stack which extends from a building drain to a vent terminal or vent header. The stack shall be not less than 3" in diameter from the building drain to the vent terminal(roof) or vent header.

[@BQAggie2006]

You'll want to spray paint the exposed pipe as UV light degrades PVC over time

[@Memo-nd6fj]

Even if its black pvc?

[@digitalcurrents]

@@Memo-nd6fjblack absorbs solar heat while white reflects solar heat. Why would you assume black is better?
