Frequently Asked Questions
How many bends are usually found in toilet waste pipes?
A toilet waste pipe typically has at least one tubular waste bend, known as a P-trap, located below or within the toilet. The P-trap maintains the seal that keeps sewer gases from entering the home. It’s extremely important! You can always use more tubular waste bends depending on the layout of your setup, but try to keep bends to a minimum to keep your flow rate high.
What’s the difference between a drainpipe and wastepipe?
The terms “drainpipe” and “waste pipe” are sometimes used interchangeably, and it’s true they both describe tubular products, but there are a few key differences. A waste pipe carries wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers to the main sewer line, whereas a drainpipe is typically larger and part of the main drainage system that carries wastewater away from the building directly to the sewer or a septic system.
