- Abstract
- This report describes the methods used and the results obtained in an investigation of the adequacy of stack venting a group of plumbing fixtures on the top floor of a building. Trap-seal losses of stack-vented fixtures in an experimental installation are reported, a test loading having a reasonable probability of occurrence is developed, and a criterion of satisfactory trap-seal loss is proposed. The experimental results are interpreted in the light of the adopted test loading and the adopted permissible trap-seal loss. And, finally, conclusions in a form suitable for the use of code-writing authorities are made.
