Stack Vent Top Of Gable Roof

I would place a screen over the end of it to keep pests out of it.

Rather than being installed on the roof gable vents are installed on the exterior side wall of the home near the roof ridge. My plumber wants to run the vent stack out the gable end of the attic wall.

The 2 inch main vent will travel approx 8 upward in my 2x4 stud wall and exit the top plate at which point it will travel at a 45 degree angle for a distance of approx 20 at which point it will exit the gable end. The industry standard for proper roof ventilation is 1 sq. Calculate your roof ventilation needs. I m assuming but i have yet to ask that it would run out and then vertically to clear the roof.
