Every building in which soil or waste piping is installed and every connection to a sewage disposal system shall have at least one stack of a size equal to the main house drain ex­tending continuous from such house drain through the roof as a main vent. Exception: When the house drain exceeds 4" in size, such main vent shall be equal to the largest stack in the building, but in no case less than 4". Chapter 11.

When heated the material shall not segregate and shall be suf­ficiently fluid to flow freely around the annular space. Each joint shall be caulked to a depth not exceeding 25% of the depth of the socket with untreated jute or other approved material. A satisfactory pouring rope and pouring hole shall be provided. Joints may be tested after one hour of pouring.
