My friend has an old house in Gloucester Ma. where the vent for the 1st floor kitchen sink (drum trap) runs out and up the side of the house terminating just below the eaves, that is obviously no good.
He's doing the kitchen over, 2 sinks and a washer, there is a pantry off the kitchen that juts out about 6' and that's where the washer will be.
I suggested venting all 3 fixtures through the pantry roof, only problem is there is a window within 4' horizontally from the pantry roof, if he can't do that he'd have to open the walls all the way up to the attic.
Do you think the inspector would allow the vent 4' away?
I believe the code in Ma. say that you need to terminate 2' above a window or 10' horizontally.
