I would like to know a quick rule to remember the difference between stack vent and vent stack. I can’t seem to remember which one is what.

a vent stack is a vertical pipe that carries waste and also acts as a vent to allow for the escape of sewer gases and odors. A stack vent, on the other hand, is the extension of a waste/soil stack that is also used for venting, typically extending through the roof to discharge gases to the outside_ from google

Hello from Houston

Is there any reason we would place different vents for these fixtures, or they all can be in one vent through the roof as a common practice?

Easiest way for me to remember is by the LAST word. When i see stack VENT I know it is the main line venting to the roof, and the one named Vent Stack is the stack of pipes
