Plumbing vent next to exhaust vent

[Mike Pettitt]

Plumbing vent located within a few inches of kitchen exhaust vent:
Disregarding the improper plumbing vent flashing; would it be a concern to have the vent located this close the kitchen exhaust vent. Thanks, Mike

I would be more concerned with the flashing being installed incorrectly than it's proximity to the kitchen exhaust, but I doubt the kitchen exhaust will create enough pressure to interfere with the plumbing vent. M2CW

Hi. Mike;

I think that your plumbing vent is a little short winded. ha. ha.

I excluded the flashing as you requested.

There should be no problem with the kitchen exhaust. If in snow country like I am, this should be a 3" vent.

Thanks all, and yes I mentioned to disregard the bad flashing. I was just concerned about the proximity of the plumbing vent in relation to the kitchen vent. The original friction fit plumbing vent flashings deteriorated and a handyman just installed new ones other the old and nailed and sealed them with roofing tar.

It should also be at least 10" high as well.
