I live in an older house (circa 1890's) and am doing some remodeling. I was studying some plumbing when I came to the venting section. In the books that I have been looking at, and online resources as well, all the venting has been stated as having to go through the roof... My house, which is "triple brick" (3 bricks thick with no frame construction on the outside walls), and has 2 bathrooms, both vents, which look like 2", go right out the wall... I started looking at neighboring house, brick and non-brick, and it appears that almost every one does the same thing... Now to my questions; 1. was this acceptable back in the day? 2. is it acceptable today? It is next to impossible to change any of it without tearing the whole house apart, so I am wondering if it is okay as is? I can imagine if it lasted this long it probably is. Thoughts?
