Sump vents, the ones used to vent a sump system, are calculated on a basis of a pump’s discharge capacity. Tables are often provided for this type of sizing. See Figure 5.37 for an example of such a table. Using a table like this one, you can quickly and easily size a vent for a sump. As long as you know the discharge rate of the pump being used in the sump, the rest of the work is simple.
