<p class="MsoNormal">Not all states adopt this of course. Ohio for example redacted this from the code version they have adopted. So maybe that is the reason. If not, there is your code reference if needed.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We just used a few of these recently. Seemed easy enough and plan on using more on an upcoming project. We had easy access to the vent in the attic which probably helped. Only complaint was that I was worried about the vent cap (provided)
blowing off and eventually having debris get in there and get stuck in the horizontal run on the roof. I\u2019m not a plumber though\u2026so maybe I\u2019m over thinking it. We put a screw into the cap just in case <u></u><u></u></p>
