Spaceman Spiff
Architect
Long story short... I am an architect playing owner / builder... My plumber bailed on me 'cause he lost two of his guys... All plumbers in the area are booked for months. I can do the work myself since I'm O/B. I've done a bunch of remodel stuff in the past, but not much new work.
I've read the IPC on vents many times, but am still a little foggy. For vent diameter, I need to use the FU capacity of the drain as the vent also?
1-1/2"=3 FU max
2"=6 FU max
2-1/2"=12 FU max
3"=20 FU max
Finally, on a circuit vent I can have up to 8 fixtures, but is there a limit on a stack vent? (I have 17 fixtures for one 3" stack vent and 6 fixtures on the other)
Thanks!!!
