Can I end a toilet vent in my attic space, or does it have to go through my roof?
Question:
Answers:
One of our bathrooms does vent into the attic. We didn*t do it, the previous owners did, but it doesn*t seem to hurt anything nor does it smell. I guess because there is a lot of air space up there.
There are also vents up there leading to the outside, so gases don*t build up
You can put the vent on the side of your home. I've done it in the past and the vent works fine.
It needs to go thru the roof to vent out gases. Sorry.
end the vent in your attic, and you and the toilet will go thru the roof. when the methane ignites
I've always seen them go throught the roof.
It'll stink up the house like hell, you wouldn't even be able to take it until the methane ignites. It has to go through the roof to the outside (Building-Plumbing-Code).
The vent is required to go through the roof. Two reasons for this. Sewer gas will fill your attic and the moisture will cause mold. It is also code.
Hi ireallycan'tbelieveth;
A toilet vent for the sewage stack must vent outside. Sink and shower plumbing vents can end indoors providing there's a trap (j-trap where water sits and keeps the odor from venting back into the house). Pro-vent makes such vents.
Good luck,

Through the roof.
Put it through the roof because it will cause condensation in your attic if you don't, and that will cause damage. You also need to vent the gases.
The same goes for a bathroom fan.
according to the plumbing code it has to go through the roof, always and not the side.if you sell your house it will fail inspection if you put in on a side wall.
