By removing foul sewer fumes and venting them to the outside air nomally through the vent terminal knowing warm air rises
A vent stack is the main vent from the lowest level to the roof terminal and it removes dangerous sewer gases as hot air rises
There are two types of plumbing stacks: A stack vent and a soil or waste stack.
A stack vent is is the extension of a soil or waste stack above the highest horizontal drain connected to the plumbing stack Vent stack a vertical vent pipe extending through more then two stories which is then connected to a stck vent or is otherwise extended throgh the roof, installed primarily for the purpose of providing circulation of air to and away from any part of the drainage system
A vent pipe which is the continuation of a SOIL STACK which means a toilet is drained into it versus a waste stack that is continuation of a grey water drain.
No it is not...Based on the size of the vent stack,,they can be horizontal for a short length...Always check with local code though...

There are some rigid requirements regarding what can be a vent stack and how a plumbing tree must be organized. If you have any questions, refer to a building code manual or a qualified plumber.
Depends on the size of the vent and what city you're performing the work in. Speak with a plumbing inspector for that city and tell him the size vent and he will tell you the maximum length. To determine the size of a vent you have to know developed length of pipe and fittings and the fixture units connected
A auto vent
There is no minimum distance.
Without the help of plumbing vents, water and waste would not move properly through the pipes in your home. They introduce air into the plumbing system so there is no vacuum, and they carry out sewer gases which could potentially make you sick.
Yes BUT not an outside wall
Vaccuum it out
