So, it’s clear that the drain vent pipe removes the nasty odors and gases.
Typical toilet vent pipe design.
The toilet will overflow if the vent pipe becomes clogged. Vent pipes supply fresh air to each plumbing fixture in the house, which helps the system move water through the drainage pipes each time a toilet is flushed or a sink is drained. Toxic gases can release if the vent tube is blocked for an extended period of time. Here is a sample configuration:
A clogged vent pipe is always causing many unwanted troubles.
But if the vent pipe is clogged, the sewer gas can’t. The vent pipe connects into the toilet drain pipe. The sink is connected with a 1.5 pipe that branches off the main vent line above the toilet. One popular way to meet this requirement is by plumbing one toilet with a 3 or 4 inch vent.
The toilet’s trap arm, also referred to as the fixture drain, is the pipe between the trap and the vent.
The vent pipe runs straight up and down from the main drain line in your home. A clogged vent pipe is undesirable. The sink drain pipe and the tub/shower drain pipe are vented with 1.5 pipe that branches off from the 2 pvc mainline. In the next picture, you can see various.
It’s a critical function because your toilet would be a closed plumbing system without the vent.
Symptoms of a clogged vent pipe include a sewage smell, a gurgling sound, an overflowing toilet, ghost flushing, slow flushing toilet, increased bowl water, waste coming back, poop still present after flushing, and so on.

The vent pipe connects into the toilet drain pipe. You can replace a vent pipe with a valved air intake instead.
So let's get on with it.
As there are different sizes, there is generally 3 or 4” drain for toilet. That means your fixture drain can have an unlimited distance (909.1). You’ll now need a section of pvc pipe that’ll extend at the very minimum of 4 inches above the weir located in the toilet’s trap and into the tee. The air vent steps in when the waste enters the toilet drain pipe.
Again, use pvc glue to do this.
The vent pipe is there to allow air to circulate. It lets air in and uses gravity to stop any gases from getting into the room. The regs would state when a vent is required and when a vent is not required. That means your fixture drain can have an unlimited distance (909.1).
