Plumber
I got asked a question today and I'm not certain of the answer.
There is plumbing in a square metal building. There is a vent that needs to terminate outside. Can the vent be brought out the side of the building? There are no windows or doors near the termination point. There is no eve above where it would terminate either.
Could you terminate out the wall and 90 up to have it vertical (going above the roof level is possible too)? if run off water from the roof is an issue is hooding the vent acceptable? For some reason the owner of the building thinks he is more likely to have trouble with a leak at the room termination than at the wall termination point.
Just wondering anyone has input on this and more so wondering what the code would think about it.
