THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM (DWV)

➢ Plumbing system is illustrated by the installation of pipes and fixtures that will
immediately dispose waste in various forms. These types of wastes are conveyed
and disposed of by two types of drainage piping, the soil pipe (D) and the waste
pipe (W). The soil pipe collects the discharge from water closets and other fixtures
while the waste pipe only collects wastewater from all fixtures except from water
closet. To prevent the occurrence of siphonage, backflow, and retardation of flow,
vent pipes (V) are installed to maintain the atmospheric pressure on the piping
system.

➢ Drainage pipe shall be cast iron, galvanized steel, galvanized wrought iron, lead,
copper, brass, ABS (Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), or
other approved materials having a smooth and uniform bore, except:

• That no galvanized wrought iron or galvanized steel pipe shall be used

underground and shall be kept at least 15.24 cm. (6 inches) above ground.
• ABS or PVC installation limited building construction not more than sixty feet in
height.

➢ Drainage fixture shall be of cast iron, malleable iron, lead, brass, copper, ABS,
PVC, or other approved materials having smooth interior waterway of the same
diameter as the piping served and all such fittings shall conform to the type of pipe
used.

• Fittings on screwed pipe shall be of the recessed drainage type. Burred ends
shall be reamed to the full bore of the pipe.
• The threads of drainage fittings shall be tapped so as to allow on 6.35 mm. (1/4
inch) per foot grade.
