SECTION w.
Vents.
l. In all new buildings Except
buildings having flat roof and fire
walD, all buildings built of one thick
ness of one-inch lumber, every line
of vent and soil pipe must run to
the roof and thence continue under
: the roof, with the same degree of ele-
walton as the roof, to a point twelve
(l2) inches from the highest point
OF the roof, and thence run through
the roof perpendicularly, and termi-
nate at an elevation equal to the
highest point of the roof. If the roof
is so flat that at least sixth bend
cannot be used, then the said vents
are to run up under the roof. as near
the same degree of elevation as the
roof as possible, and terminate as
above stated.
2. Roof. The opening of every vent
above the roof must be located at
least two feet from all chimneys, and
SIX feet from water tanks, air shafts
or any other openings of any build
ing which would be reached by meas
urement on line or lines drawn hori-
zontally from such opening of such
vent pipe to any chimney, water tank
air shaft, or any other opening of any
building, and at least 6 feet from ali
points of intersection, to be deter
mined by measurement on line or
lines drawn horizontally from such
points which would be intersected
were any chimney, water tank, air
shaft, or other opening of any build
ing, extended perpendicularly to the
point or points of intersection with
such line or lines of measurement.
Every line of vent and soil pipe must
extend full bore to an elevation equal
to the highest point of the main ridge
of the building, as hereinafter pro-
vided, in which case said vent and soil
pipe shall extend two (2) feet above
the fire walls, if coming out of roof !;
| if in fire wall, then IL inches above
wall. If the roof is to be used as
