I was at the boat house where my son rows. They are putting in bathrooms.
One had a vent pipe coming off the toilet and going up to the roof.
The other toilet had a pipe that went up about 4 feet and ended in a vent.
There was a grill on the wall next to it.

Seems to me that will smell pretty bad in a little while. Does it even
meet code?

Not even close (assuming that it's as you describe).

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

I don't think so, to do it right it would have to go out through the
wall, then turn up and go above roof level.

If it was a "Studor" vent, then its probably alright, as long as they
have at least one vent going to the roof.

I googled it and yes, that is what they have. Thanks.
