White Pvc Pipe On Roof

Is it acceptable to run 1 1 2 schedule 40 pvc through the roof for a new vent stack.

White pvc pipe on roof.

This will have 2 toilets two showers two sinks and one tub off this single vent in case someone wants to comment on size. These pipe covers are available in colors that match the shingles on the roof system and can camouflage the white pvc pipes. Without that vent and there s one connected to every drain in your house the water leaving your sinks showers and toilets would slow and hiccup and not have smooth operation. I did some roofing work.

But as you can see there are at least ways to hide the presence of these pipes or at a minimum make them less apparent when you look at the home from the front. The pipes have been on my roof for 20 years since well before i bought the house so i m not sure how long. Those white plastic pvc pipes jutting out of your roof have little to do with your roof and a lot to do with your home s plumbing system. Painting pvc to help with uv protection is normal expected.

That pvc that sticks out from the roof top is open is for the water pipes from your bathroom it is a way of ventilating the sewage pipes sorry i don t know the scientific name for it however. Pvc pipes through your home s roof particularly the front slope of the home can take away from the general appearance of the home. If you use a good latex paint i wouldn t worry about it peeling.
