vent stack question -

LanggamanXavierMassed — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 08:13:48 GMT

This might be a bit non Autocad question but, I am working on an isometric view for a plumbing layout under a firm here in the Philippines, So I needed to refer the firm's drafting standard by opening another project, and what I notice is that a sewer line layout of a 3-storey building does not have vent pipes, even in their isometric view, do 3-storey buildings really do not need venting pipes in their sanitary plumbing system? thank you i'm just a bit puzzled.

This question can be better answered by your MEP MANAGER(if there is one) or your Locally working fellow colleagues.

Are you referring to the P - trap? Yes, they should have the vent for the reason that vent pipe control the smells/odors to come from other floors. Thanks

I get it. Most of us get into these kind of situations every now and then. I just suggested it, thinking that it might save you some time.

Hope someone here can help you with this.

Xavier,
"do 3-storey buildings...need venting pipes in their sanitary plumbing system?"
Yes. But since you can't predict how the plumber will tie them together to minimize roof penetrations, just show them going up a bit.
