The copper Sovent single-stack plumbing system is an engineered drainage system developed to improve and simplify soil, waste and vent plumbing in multi-storey buildings. It was invented, in 1959, by Fritz Sommer, head of the Department for Sanitary installation at the vocational training school in Bern, Switzerland. Since 1961, when the first Sovent system was installed, hundreds of multi-storey buildings constructed in Europe, have utilized Sovent. 1, record 1, English, - Sovent%20system
