Which one would vent a main line faster?  I have 2 mainline branches one with approx 32' of 2 inch pipe and the other with 36' of 2 inch pipe. Both have Vent Rite No 35's on them. Any suggestions would be greatley appreciated.

    Not a pro

    I don't have any specs on the USAV but I wouldn't put anything from them on my system. The vent-rite 35 is way too slow.



    I would recommend a single Gorton #2 or multiple (3 or 4) Gorton #1s.on each main.
