    Can I move a vent stack ofr and back at 45 degree angles or must it vent straight?
    I am remodeling a bathroom. I want to install a 36 " medicine cabinet but a vent stack is in the way. Can I 45 the vent stack out of the way and back to straight or must it stay straight?

    If the vent is a sink vent then yes, you can offset the vent and return to the original vent as you propose... ;) You could even use a combination of 45s and 90s if it makes it easier, but make sure the piping pitches back toward the drain (see image), OK?
