Default How does an kitchen island sink or window sink vent??

How does an kitchen island sink or window sink vent. I have seen kitchen sinks facing a window and wonder how the vent is run. That is there is no wall directly behind it for a vent.

Can the vent be more than a few feet away?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Below you should find the copied section telling you the rules of venting concerning a kitchen island. See if it helps you with your quest. The maximum distance to the common vent would be 6'.

Copied section of the 2000 International Residential Code;

SECTION P3112 ISLAND FIXTURE VENTING P3112.1 Limitation. Island fixture venting shall not be permitted for fixtures other than sinks and lavatories. Kitchen sinks with a dishwasher waste connection, a food waste grinder, or both, in combination with the kitchen sink waste, shall be permitted to be vented in accordance with this section.

P3112.2 Vent connection. The island fixture vent shall connect to the fixture drain as required for an individual or common vent. The vent shall rise vertically to above the drainage outlet of the fixture being vented before offsetting horizontally or vertically downward. The vent or branch vent for multiple island fixture vents shall extend to a minimum of 6 inches( 152 mm) above the highest island fixture being vented before connecting to the outside vent terminal.

P3112.3 Vent installation below the fixture flood level rim. The vent located below the flood level rim of the fixture being vented shall be installed as required for drainage piping in accordance with Chapter 30, except for sizing. The vent shall be sized in accordance with Section P3113.1. The lowest point of the island fixture vent shall connect full size to the drainage system. The connection shall be to a vertical drain pipe or to the top half of a horizontal drain pipe. Cleanouts shall be provided in the island fixture vent to permit rodding of all vent piping located below the flood level rim of the fixtures. Rodding in both directions shall be permitted through a cleanout.

Hope this helps
