Disposal Point
Public sewer
Onsite WWT System
 Important Considerations
No leakage (Waste water or gas)
->proper joints
->durable pipe material
Accessibility (for inspection, repair, maintenance, cleaning)
->avoid laying under building,
->enough number of inspection chambers/ manholes
->provision for clean-outs
Prevent entry of foul gases into building
->provide traps
->protect water seal in traps
 Important Considerations
Proper ventilation (to prevent air locks, maintain aerobic
condition, protect water seals, etc.)

Branch pipes to be as short as possible with proper

slope (to prevent accumulation of waste solids)

 TRAPS
Traps can be defined as fittings placed in drainage pipes,
which prevent the passage of foul air or gases through drains,
waste or soil pipes and thus prevent their entry into the
interior of houses or buildings.

Good characteristics
Non adsorbent
Smooth
Self-cleansing
