Understanding International Plumbing Code Chapter 9 Section 906 Vent Sizing

International Plumbing Code Chapter 9 is all about sanitary drainage systems. This video presentation covers IPC section 906 which is all about DWV vent sizing. This video includes explanations about the requirements for vent sizes as well as demonstrations on how to size drainage vent pipe.
This video is based on the 2021 International Plumbing Code, so chapter 9 might look a little different than previous or later versions of the code. Generally, the code requirements do not change much from one edition to the next.

Taking my journeyman’s on Thursday! And these videos are kick ass because this ipc book can be worded sooo weird

[@plumber-tom9470]

Good luck on the test.

How’d you do?
These videos really are awesome. I paid so much for plumbing school and you do a tremendously much better job at explaining than the teachers I had

[@plumber-tom9470]

Awesome, thank you!

Just found your channel. I’m currently an apprentice. Thank you for your content. Plumbing code puts me to sleep but you make it interesting.

[@plumber-tom9470]

You’re not alone. One of the challenges I have faced for years is trying to teach code in a way that it is at least bearable. Thanks for watching. Good luck with your apprenticeship!

May I ask why in 9:41 the developed length does not start from the bottom level where the vent connects to the drain as the "farthest point"? To me that seems to include the entire length of the vent.

[@plumber-tom9470]

Developed length on venting can vary. They should all start from the drain, but the develop length can end outdoors or at a stack vent or vent stack. So it just depends on the situation.

Could you do a video on fuel gas pipe sizing?

[@plumber-tom9470]

Hello, Yes. I hope to create a gas pipe sizing video sometime this year.
