Securing the Vent Sections

Vertical Sections

Vertical sections of pipe must be supported every 8 feet after the 25 foot maximum unsupported rise. The vent sup- port or plumber’s strap (spaced 120° apart) may be used to do this (see Figure 8.9).

Horizontal Sections

Horizontal sections of vent must be supported every 5 feet with a vent support or plumber’s strap.
