What is Vertical Stack in Plumber Construction?
Vertical stack is a term used in the plumbing industry to describe a type of plumbing installation. This type of plumbing usually involves the installation of a vertical pipe, or stack, that runs from the top of a structure down to the lower levels. The vertical stack is usually connected to a horizontal pipe, or lateral, that runs out from the structure to the municipal sewer line.
Vertical stack plumbing is often used in multi-story buildings, such as apartment complexes or office buildings. It is also commonly used in single family homes. The vertical stack is typically made of PVC, ABS, or copper, and is installed to direct wastewater from the structure’s plumbing fixtures to the municipal sewer line.
The installation of a vertical stack requires a certain level of expertise and skill. Professional plumbers use specialized tools and equipment to ensure that the vertical stack is properly installed and sealed. This is important to prevent plumbing leaks, which can cause significant damage to a structure and its surroundings.
According to the United States Census Bureau, there are over 1 million plumbers currently employed in the United States. This number is expected to grow by 10% over the next 10 years, as the demand for plumbing services continues to increase.
