Haha nice. OFN though from 2015, record has been broken 3 times since then.
While I am not a plumber, I have done my fair share of indoor and exterior plumbing and I have never seen an S or P-trap w/no vent pipe. Do you still find this inside of people's homes? I can only imagine the smell.If have no vent I just build up and top with pro vent. Inspector passes.
And this ^ is a legit way to vent off an S-trap and keep the gnarly smell out of the kitchen etc.?Then wrap threads on male pro vent with Teflon tape. Apply pipe dope to male over the teflon tape, and screw that fuker in.
The exhaust pipe is usually behind a wall so unless you demoed the sheetrock, you might not have seen it.That is weird, I have never seen internal plumbing with a vent except for on toilet waste pipes. Haven't seen one on a sink S trap, or noticed any smell from a sink or basin either.

Hell, I get work orders to send a crew over to "investigate a smell inside of the attic". This is usually from 2 things: a dead rodent or, the plumbing exhaust vent pipe has broken off inside of the attic, and the sewage is smelling up the inside of the attic. Even working on the roof next to a plumbing pipe jack exhaust is stinky as hell.

It's like a foreign language. Does Google translate do Trailer to English?

Yep.I just looked and our sinks are actually teed into the main toilet stink pipes, I was thrown by the undersink version that Tev posted. Looks like they are common in Europe and the US.
Appears our downstairs sinks in the kitchen and laundry are not all joined in but they do have outdoor ground level overflow vents so they probably do the job. They have a gully trap after so no smell comes from them.
plumbing waste discussion - best thread currently on TW ....
*edit - the airflow is required for the shit/piss/water to travel through the pipe more freely. When it doesn't have this airflow, you end up with clogged pipes.
Maybe tehvul can confirm this?
And a concept I tried to recreate at a board meeting 2 years ago.
about the best visual demonstration i can find for this concept.
Yep.
I do believe that when the home is being erected (phrasing...), where the exhaust vent pipes are tied and then brought up and through the roof is up to the discretion of the plumber. And I believe that the exhaust vent can be up to 20 or 30' away, as long as the line has the air flow to help keep the flow of water moving through the pipes.
