SECTION 814:
COMBINATION WASTE AND VENT SYSTEMS

814.1

Combination waste and vent systems (CW & VS) shall be permitted only where structural conditions
preclude the installation of conventional system as otherwise prescribed by this Code.

814.2

Plans and specifications for each CW & VS shall first be approved by the Administrative Authority before
any portion of any such system is installed.

814.3

Each CW & VS shall be provided with a vent or vents adequate to assure free circulation of air. Any
branch more than 4.6 meter m length shall be separately vented in approved manner. The minimum
area of any vent installed in a CW & VS shall be at least one··half ( l/2) the inside cross sectional area of
the drain pipe served. The vent connection shall be downstream of the uppermost fixture.

814.4

Each waste pipe and each trap in any CW & VS shall be at least two (2) pipe sizes larger than the sizes
required by Chapter 7 of this Code and at least two (2) pipe sizes larger than any fixture tailpiece or
connection.

814.5

Unless specifically required or permitted by the Administrative Authority, no vertical waste pipe shall be
used in any CW & VS, except the tailpiece or connection between the outlet of a plumbing fixture and
the trap therefore. Such tailpiece or connections shall be as short as possible and in no case shall exceed
0.6 meter long.

814.6

Cleanouts may not be required on any wet-vented branch serving a single trap when the tixture tailpiece
or connection is not less than 51 mm in diameter and provide ready access for cleaning through the
trap. An accessible cleanout shall be installed in each vent for the CW & VS.

Section 815 - DIRECT WASTE TO GROUND

"Sacrarium" waste of holy water and washwater at church altar service must not be discharged into the
sanitary drainage system but disposed off directly into the ground.
Section 816 :Clear water Wastes

Water lift ,expansion tanks, cooling jackets, sprinkler system, drip or overflow pans or similar devices
which discharge clear wastewater into the building drainage system shall discharge through an indirect
waste by means of an air gap.

Section 817: Swimming Pools

Pipes carrying wastewater from swimming or wading pools, including pool drainage and backwash from
filters, and water from promenade drains which serve walks shall be installed as an indirect waste
.Where a pump is used to discharge waste pool water to the drainage system, the pump discharge shall
be installed as an indirect waste.

Section 818: Refrigeration wastes

The indirect waste lines carrying refrigeration waste shall not be smaller than shown in lhe following
pipe size schedule:

 32 mm -- 1 inlet serving not more than 2.8 m3 of refrigeration space

 5I mm- 4 to 12m3, 32 mm inlets or the equivalent refrigeration space

 76 mm -13 to 36m3, 32 mm inlets or the equivalent refrigeration space

Section 819 : Air-Conditioning Equipment

if discharged into the drainage system any evaporative cooler, airwasher, or similar air-conditioning
equipment shall be drained by means of an indirect waste pipe.

819.1 Size

Air-conditioning condensate waste pipes shall be independent of any

drainage and waste system and shall not be smaller than shown in Table 8-2.

Equipment capacity in tons Minimum Condensate

Item.no Of refrigeration(kw) pipe diameter in mm
1 Through 3 Through 10.56 19.1
2 Through 20 Through 70.33 25.4
3 Through 90 Through 316.49 32
4 Through 125 Through 439.6 38
5 Through 250 Through 879.2 51

The sizes of condensate waste pipes may be for one or a combination of units, or as recommended by
the manufacturer. The capacity of wastes assumes 10.5 mm/m or one percent slope, with the pipe
running ¾.
819.2 Point Of Discharge

Air-conditioning condensate waste pipes shall connect indirectly to the drainage system through an
airgap or airbreak to:

A. A properly trapped receptor ; or

B. Other points of discharge acceptable to the Administrative Authority including dry wells. leach
pits, the tailpiece of plumbing fixture, etc.
