Ventilation System Flashcards
pipes installed to provide flow of air to or from a drainage system
VENT SYSTEM
a pipe or opening used for ensuring the circulation of air in a plumbing system
VENT PIPE
principal artery of the venting system
MAIN VENT
the horizontal wet venting of one or more sinks or floor drains by means of a common horizontal waste and vent pipe, adequately sized to provide free movement of air above the flow line of the drain.
COMBINATION WASTE AND VENT SYSTEM
that a portion of a vent pipe there wastewater also flows through
WET VENT
A pipe that does not carry liquids or water-borne wastes
DRY VENT
a horizontal vent connecting one or more individual vertical back vents with the vent stack or stack vent
BRANCH VENT
a branch vent for 2 or more traps
GROUP VENT
unit vent or dual vent
COMMON VENT
one vent pipe will serve 2 traps
UNIT VENT/DUAL VENT/COMMON VENT
a group vent pipe that connects to the vent stack
CIRCUIT VENT
vertical vent connection on a horizontal soil or waste pipe branch at a point downstream of the last fixture
LOOP OR CIRCUIT VENT
vertical vent connection on a horizontal soil or waste pipe branch at a point downstream of the last fixture that connects to stack vent
LOOP VENT
vertical vent connection on a horizontal soil or waste pipe branch at a point downstream of the last fixture that connects to vent stack
CIRCUIT VENT
a vertical vent that is a continuation of the drain to which the vent connects
CONTINUOUS VENT
Provides additional circulation of air between the drainage and vent systems
RELIEF VENT
a pipe connecting upward from a soil or waste stack below the floor and below horizontal connection to an adjacent vent stack
YOKE VENT
Backvent pipe
REVENT PIPE
the extension of a soil or waste stack above the highest horizontal drain
STACK VENT
the vertical vent pipe installed primarily for providing circulation of air
VENT STACK
vents a fixture trap and connects above the fixture served or terminates to open air
INDIVIDUAL VENT
