I have searched for this, but have not found a answer .
I have a house in northern VT.
I have a metal roof,6-12 pitch,3" vent going through.My friend is a plumber and installed when I wasnt there.He now has a broken leg in six places and I have to fix.
He put it about half way up the roof,I wanted it up towards the top more ,but it was too late and what happened is what I feared would happen,The ice and snow slid down and mowed right over and broke the vent lines off.
I now have to replace a peice of the metal roof as it is damaged.I know it wasnt anchored well inside and was looking for the correct way to anchor the vent line in my attic so it will not do this again.I will replace metal and move vent up the roof alot more.
What I would like to do,Is go out the gable end wall towards the top of wall and exit and not compromise my roof.
But I have read thats not legal.My house is spray foamed on roof and walls of attic,Could I vent out through my end wall?If not how can I anchor correctly so vent will not break again?
Thanks alot in advance.
