Sovent System Help

[PEDARRIN2]

Has anybody done a sanitary system with sovent fittings?

I have a client who is wanting it and I need to know some information on experience with design/installation.

What is a sovent fitting? or do you mean solvent? Clean and glue is the way to do it. This is inside a bldg?

Richard: A sovent system is a special drain/vent system within a multistory building which eliminates the need for a separate waste (soil) and vent stack. Basically a wet vent. The main "oddball" componets are deaerator and aerator fittings--you need (at least) one of these components at each floor.

Pedarrin2: I don't have any experience designing one of these, but I imagine from an installation standpoint it's no more difficult than traditional waste/vent plumbing work. The fittings I mentioned above come with connections for the stack inlet, outlet, branch and waste inlets...anything more special than that is built into the components (probably just baffles). I don't think all jurisdictions allow this alternative, so that would be the first step...

I understand the concept and how to design it, but was looking for somebody who had actually been involved in the design process and subsequent installation to give tips of what to avoid, problems encountered, etc.

We are also making sure the AHJ is on board and comfortable with it.
