    Hi Leroy...

    Hard to say here, but I would figure that you would be better off unclogging the existing vent then cutting into the vent/drain system and running an entirely new vent, right?

    Let me know what state you are in so I can answer your code question and let me know if you need help trying to unclog he vent or if you still want to run a new vent. If you plan to run a new vent I need to know what material your pipes are made of and how you plan to cut into the drain system, OK?

    Back to you...

    PS: If you see a post from GEETHU above (or below) it is being removed to the correct forum... may just take a little time... ;)
