I’ve ran across this a cou[le of times. Sewer vents running out the wall and not terminating above the roof. I’m looking for better exclamation and wording? Can use some help this Christmas Eve?

“The vent must terminate at least a foot above the roof and far from any windows or
doors on adjacent buildings. You can pass the vent through a wall instead of through
the roof, but it must still rise over the roof.”

Minimum 4’ (10’ UPC) when directly below building openings, and minimum 3’ above openings within 10’ horizonal

It looks like you’ve already come up with a nice narrative why not use your own words?

That must have been a master plumber. He could switch jobs with the master carpenter that built those stairs!

To avoid backdraft of unsanitary air through the window, extend the Plumbing vent above the eaves or roof line using a proper flashing.

What’s the point of the stairs anyway. To wash the window :grin:

The home owner made them to have a fire exit.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all. That is wrong in so many ways.

Got to be kidding. Those stairs are just leaning against the building with nothing to hold them up.
Like Chris said, “wrong in so many ways”

And that first step looks more than 3/8” higher than the other steps🙂

I thought they might be there so he could get up and sniff to see if the vent was working,You know in case it was too cold to open the window and check…

Can’t believe you guys have never seen a “Mistress Egress.” Yep! Guys don’t need them. Head first out the window with a tumble a roll. Lucky if they’re still clutching their pants… :lying_face:

I’d feel safer jumping out the window then trying to mount those steps during a fire.
