Vents transports sewer gas through the building to the open air space. Properly installed the vents prevents siphoning traps and sewage gas leakage
to the interior building.
Different codes in different jurisdictions exists and must be adhered to locally. In general we talk about
individual vents
relief vents
circuit vents
branch vents
stack vents

Individual vents
Individual vents serve individual fixtures.

This vents only one fixture but may connect into an other vent that extend to the open air.
an individual vent should be at least one-half the size of the drain it vents (no less than 1 1/4", 32 mm)

Relief vents
Relief vents provide additional air to the drainage system where the primary vent is too far from the fixture.


an relief vent should be at least one-half the size of the drain it vents (no less than 1 1/4", 32 mm)

Circuit vents
Circuit vents are used with more than one fixtures. A circuit vent is installed before the last fixture extend up to open air or connects to an other vent
that extend to the outside

an circuit vent should be at least one-half the size of the drain it vents (no less than 1 1/4", 32 mm)

Branch vents
Branch vents are vents extending horizontally that connects multiple vents together.

Stack vents
A vent stack is used only for the purpose of venting.

Vents are normally sized by using the "Developed Length" (total linear footage of pipe making up the vent) method.
