Vent Piping

Vent connections play a crucial role in plumbing drafting services, transitioning from contract drawings to detailed shop drawings. At BIM Adaptics, we consistently incorporate vent piping into our plumbing BIM shop drawings, whether for single-stack, three-stack, or island kitchen systems. Our process involves generating shop drawings based on regional codes—specifically, adhering to New York City (NYC) codes for NYC projects and following the International Plumbing Code (IPC) for other locations. Additionally, we implement ICC (International Code Council) methods for venting plumbing fixtures and traps.

Our meticulous approach ensures that vent pipe connections align with ICC, IPS (International Plumbing Standard), or NYC codes, facilitating the approval of permit drawings for both low-rise and high-rise buildings. Furthermore, we focus on preparing sleeve shop drawings, meticulously noting dimensions from grid or axis lines.

Essential Vent Piping in Plumbing Shop Drawings

  • Vent connections play a critical role in plumbing drafting services. These vents serve multiple purposes within a building’s plumbing system.
  • Vent pipes allow air to enter the drainage system, preventing water traps from siphoning and ensuring smooth flow.
  • Proper venting also prevents sewer gases from escaping into living spaces, maintaining indoor air quality.
  • At BIM Adaptics, we consistently incorporate vent piping into our plumbing shop drawings either in CAD or BIM
  • These drawings cover a range of systems, from single-stack to three-stack configurations, and even extend to island kitchens.
  • Our approach aligns with regional codes. For New York City projects, we strictly adhere to NYC plumbing codes.
  • In other countries, we follow the International Plumbing Code (IPC) guidelines for each connection, with special attention to venting requirements.
  • We implement ICC (International Code Council) methods for venting plumbing fixtures and traps.
  • Proper venting ensures that air pressure remains balanced, preventing issues like slow drainage or gurgling sounds.
  • Vent pipe connections are meticulously designed according to ICC, IPS (International Plumbing Standard), or NYC codes.
  • These well-coordinated designs facilitate the approval of permit drawings for both low-rise and high-rise buildings.
  • In addition to vent piping, we focus on preparing sleeve shop drawings.
  • Each dimension is carefully noted, referencing grid lines or axis points.
  • Sleeves ensure precise penetrations through walls and floors for pipes, conduits, and other utilities.
