Downdraft systems have a suction unit (fan) mounted below the cooking surface and a vent pipe going outside. When the fan is on, the suction pulls the air containing the smoke and odors down and pushes them out the exhaust vent.
How far can Plumbing Vent go horizontally?
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.

What can you do about frozen sewer roof vents and what is the cause?
I have had the same problem and researched coming up with a couple of different ideas. Firstly the pipe freezes at the roof outlet due to condensation of the warm gases as they reach the cold outside air, condensation continues until the pipe finally freezes right over. Most people climb up and pour hot water down the pipe. this will work but you will have to do it continuously during cold snaps. A better solution would be to go into your attic and wrap batt insulation around the vent pipe up to where it goes through the roof. In most cases this should solve your freezing problem of the pipe on the roof. If it does not then take a tin can larger then the diameter of your pipe and fit it over the pipe, cut a hole in the bottom the size of the pipe to allow gases to exit, then fill the tin can with insulation. this has solved problems for lots of people. --- Wrapping the vent pipe with insulation and putting a tin can over the exterior pipe is a clever solution! I think a better looking, and more permanent solution would be to install a frostless vent cap or flashing. (sometimes called roof caps at plumbing wholesale shops) on the vent pipe. These frostless caps consist of two separate pieces of galvanized metal. One is the base which is nailed to the roof and the vent pipe passes through it. This piece forms the waterproof seal. The second piece is a cylinder which slides onto the pipe and over the base with a lead cap you tighten onto the pipe. When completed the cylinder is connected to the vent pipe and is free to rise and fall with the vent pipe, and it also insulates the vent pipe from the elements and allows air from the attic to circulate around the vent pipe. These vent caps are more expensive than the rubber roof caps but are worth the difference if you live in a very cold climate. I've seen frostless caps that can also be ordered in various colors to match roof colors at shingle suppliers. The easiest and most efficient way to prevent hoarfrost is to increase the vent terminal to at least 4" diameter.
What is the purpose of a plumbing vent stack and how does it contribute to the overall functionality of a plumbing system?
A plumbing vent stack is a pipe that allows air to enter the plumbing system, preventing airlock and ensuring proper drainage. It helps maintain the right pressure in the pipes, preventing sewer gases from entering the building and allowing waste to flow smoothly. In essence, the vent stack helps the plumbing system work efficiently and prevents issues like clogs and odors.
How does a drain work and what are the key components involved in its operation?
A drain works by allowing water to flow through a pipe and away from a sink or other fixture. The key components involved in its operation include the drain pipe, trap, and vent. The drain pipe carries the water away, the trap prevents sewer gases from entering the room, and the vent allows air to enter the system to facilitate drainage.
How can I effectively unclog a vent pipe?
To effectively unclog a vent pipe, you can try using a plumber's snake or auger to break up and remove the blockage. You can also use a mixture of hot water and vinegar or a chemical drain cleaner to dissolve the clog. If these methods don't work, you may need to call a professional plumber for assistance.
What is the purpose of the Septic tank vent?
Any empty tank is really a tank full of air. If you want water to go into a tank or pipe or drain then you have to allow the air to escape out of it. We allow the air to escape through a "vent pipe," connected to the tank. When refering to septic tanks, this pipe is called a "septic tank vent." Unless we use a zeocarbon filter on the "septic tank vent", the vile air coming out smells like a combination of rotten eggs and ammonia. Some septic tanks are upgraded to include aeration systems where electric or solar powered aerators bubble air into the liquid in the septic tank. Although these systems treat water faster and produce cleaner treated wastewater you still need a "septic tank vent," to let the air escape from the tank so water can go into it.
