[RE-wrenches] Modifying a plumbing vent

[Scot Arey]

Complete game changer. I stumbled upon it in Fine Homebuilding article and was surprised this was not more widely known. Vent pipes can be reduced in height. Details in plumbing section.

I have relocated roof vents several times, just have to make sure they comply, no P traps, flat or downward trends. Fasten correctly to the rafters, sealing both old and new. If you want to do this on the roof under the modules same rules apply.Jerry

Friends:

 

Over all these years I have always been able to work around plumbing vents.  Now I find one that is just in the way.  My foreman suggests we 90 it out of the way, and makes the point that there are vent 90s in the walls all the time.  Is there any concern about this practice?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

William
