Construction Industry/Plumbing ventilation

Question
I am designing a coffee shop in an existing space. The kitchen is going to have a 3 compartment sink, a mop sink and a hand sink. By theory I know that we need a ventilation pipe for the these fixtures, My question is: can I take the ventilation from the waste pipe? or I need to have individual ventilation for each fixture. The thing is that the plumbing fixtures are in a 2 hour rated wall and I do not want to touch this wall, so a nutshell my question would be How can you make the ventilation for a sink in an existing 2 hr rated wall without touch this wall?

Answer
Sorry, we cannot answer your question.  We are a floor covering inspection service, and do not address plumbing issues, however, I might suggest contacting the manufacturer of the sink(s) you are going to install, ask for their technical services dept., and they could probably answer you questions.

Cordially,

We are a floor covering inspection service and a floor covering specifying service. We inspect all types of floor coverings in every city and town in all 50 States and Canada, for manufacturing, installation, or maintenance related problems. We also specify, so when someone is about to choose a floor covering for a residential or commercial installation, after we find out, from them, the particulars about the installation, we can suggest the proper product, installation method, and maintenance method to provide optimum life of the product. (Note that in your B2B Category, we did not find any heading related to our business, so we just chose the Construction category). So if someone has a problem with the performance, installation, or maintenance of any floor covering, we can give suggestions, without a formal inspection, the possible causes of the prolems.

Experience

We have been in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, of all types of residential and commercial floor coverings, for many years, and for the past 13 years, we just inspect and specify.
