✓[Moon'S 한 줄의 건축이야기] #231- 스탁벤트 VS 벤트스탁

a vent stack is series of vertical pipe vents that passes through at least two stories and is meant to maintain atmospheric pressure in the drainage system. The vent stack usually runs parallel with the soil/waste stack and may either extend up through the roof or connect to a stack vent.

And in this corner: a stack vent is the uppermost portion of a soil/waste stack that continues the pipe from above the highest connected fixture out the roof. The stack vent performs a similar function to the

vent stack with the biggest difference being the stack vent is a direct extension of the waste/soil stack and must reach outside air.

Still having trouble telling them apart? The names are a big part of the confusion, so if you remember the definitions but not which is which just use the “adjective before noun” rule. So like a “race car” is a car used in races while a “car race” is a race for cars, a “vent stack” is a stack of vents and a “stack vent” is a vent on top of a stack. Also, “race car” is a cool palindrome.
