When the vent pipe is exposed to
temperatures below freezing, i.e.,
when it passes through unheated
spaces, etc., the pipe must be
insulated with 1/2 inch (22.7 mm)
thick Armaflex-type insulation or
equal. If the space is heated
sufficiently to prevent freezing,
then the insulation would not be
required. If domestic water pipes
are not protected from freezing,
then it is assumed the space
meets the condition of a heated
space.
