Under what circumstance are automatic vent fittings allowed for installation?

A. In any location
B. When requested by the plumber
C. With permission from the Board
D. As per the building code

The correct answer is: C. With permission from the Board

The use of automatic vent fittings is a regulated practice, and these fittings are typically permitted only under specific conditions. In many jurisdictions, including Massachusetts, they must receive explicit approval from the governing Board or relevant authority overseeing plumbing regulations. This means that automatic vent fittings should not be installed arbitrarily or based solely on individual preferences or requests; rather, their use must adhere to the established guidelines that ensure safety and compliance with building standards. By requiring permission from the Board, it ensures that installations are evaluated for safety, functionality, and adherence to codes that are crucial in plumbing practices.
