Hello All


On page 11:
6. INSTALL THE PLASTIC VENT ASSEMBLY
It says "The inclusion of the vent pipe conforms to UK building regulations.Outside of the UK it may be removed, please check local byelaws.".

Could some kind person tell me why our UK standards are "higher" in this regard than our neighbouring countries? What are the implications (other than legal building regs ones) of ignoring and choosing the smaller vertical pipe assembly I wonder?
