I am doing my first project in my basement. I need to put in a sink, but I am about 15 feet away from the waste-vent stack. I was just going to run a pipe along the walls and tie into the existing one(where I have another sink connected to). I did some research and found out that if I am more than 3.5 ft from the stack I can't just tie in. I need a loop vent. Two questions:
Do I really need a loop vent?
How does the loop vent work? I am looking at a drawing, but can't quite get the benefit of the loop vent. What does it help prevent? How does it work? I understand how to build it, but can't quite see the benefit.
Thanks
