Our inspectors are all in one plumbing, electrical ect. not seperate like some areas are so they look, there are to be no modules above any vents including plumbing. Our solution is to move the vents (plumbing) and work around all others. Cutting vent stacks below the 12 can get you in trouble

The other possibility is to install an auto vent in residential systems. These are allowed for sink, tub and toilet drains up to at least 3”. I see no reference saying that these can’t be installed in the attic …may be an easy solution. Bill Dorsett Sunwrights Manhattan, KS From:
