PLUMBING OVERVIEW
It uses basic laws of nature like gravity and pressure. A plumbing system is composed of two basic subsystems. One brings in the freshwater while the other throws out the wastewater.
Supply System: The water entering a home is under pressure. Hence it is easy to allow it to travel upstairs, at the corners or elsewhere as and when needed. This system includes the main water shutoff or a stop valve to be used during a plumbing emergency. The water from the main supply is ready to be used for various drinking and cleaning purposes.
Drainage System: A drainage system does not depend on the pressure as all the drainage pipes are angled downward. Hence, gravity pulls off all the waste material. As simple as it may seem, the drainage system involves a lot of complex components like vents, traps and clean outs. These vents allow air to enter through the drainage pipes so as to regulate water flow. Otherwise which the water gets collected in the traps and will require being driven off frequently.
The supply and drainage systems are two different systems with no overlapping between them. There are bridges between the two systems which makes plumbing system successful. They are called fixtures. Toilets, sinks, and tubs are types of fixtures.
