Most plumbing vent pipes go through roofs. Can the plumbing system be
vented through an exterior wall? It would seem that as long as the vent
system is above the fixtures, it should be OK.



The vent is open directly to the sewer system. There are no traps in the
vent system. Do you want sewer gases, and their smells, closer to the
ground, or wafting through open windows near the vent, or through the
soffit vents into the attic?
The idea is to exhaust them as far away as possible from living areas.
