Hydraulic Performance of a Full-Scale Townhouse Drain- Waste-Vent System with Reduced-Size Vents
This report describes the experimental findings of tests on a full-scale two-story plumbing system with reduced-size vents under a range of operating conditions including tests with the vent terminals closed and the building drain submerged. Results indicate that dry vent piping in 1-2 story housing units can safely be smaller than presently allowed by design without jeopardizing the trap seals. On the basis of the current investigation and from earlier work on full-scale systems of substantially different geometry, criteria for sizing reduced-size vents are given for general application to conventional 1-2 story housing units. In addition to the practical evidence in terms of acceptable trap performance, the current study provided fundamental evidence of the excessive present design criteria.
