  SOIL STACK
IS THE VERTICAL SECTION OF A PIPE OF A PLUMBING SYSTEM THAT RECEIVES
THE DISCHARGE OF WATER CLOSET, WITH OR WITHOUT THE DISCHARGE FOM OTHER FIXTURES,
AND CONVEYS THIS WASTE SUBSTANCE, USUALLY TO THE BUILING DRAIN.

 COMMON VENT
VERTICAL VENT THAT SERVES TWO BRACH FIXTURE BRANCHES THAT ARE INSTALLED AT
THE SAME LEVEL

 CONTINUOUS VENT
VERTICAL PORTION THAT IS A CONTINUATION OF THE DRAIN TO WHICH IT IS CONNECTED

 YOKE VENT
A PIPE CONNECTING UPWARD FROM A SOIL OR WASTE STACK TO A VENT STACK FOR THE
PURPOSE OF PREVENTING PRESSURE CHANGES IN THE STACK.

 STACK VENT
IS NOTHING MORE THAN THE EXTENSION OF A SOIL OR WASTE STACK (DRY SECTION) UP
AND THROUGH THE ROOF OF THE BUIDING.

 VENT STACK
A VERTICAL VENT PIPE INSATALLED PRIMARILY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING
CIRCULATION OF AIR TO AND FROM ANY PART OF THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

 RELIEF VENT
SOMETIMES REFERRED TO IN THE TRADE AS A 'RE-VENT'. ITS PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO
PROVIDE CIRCULATION OF AIR BETWEEN THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND THE VENT OF THE
PLUMBING SYSTEM.

 CIRCUIT VENT
FUNCTIONS SIMILARLY TO A BRANCH VENT. CIRCUIT VENTS SERVE TWO OR MORE
FIXURES AND RISE VERTICALLY FROM BETWEEN THE LAST TWO FIXTURE TRAPS LOCATED ON A
HORIZONTAL BRANCH DRAIN. THIS VENT MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE VENT STACK.

 LOOP VENT
IS DIFFERNT FROM A CIRCUIT VENT ONLY IN THAT A LOOP VENT LOOPS BACK AND
CONNECTS O THE STACK VENT, AND NOT TO THE VENT STACK.

 VENT HEADER
A SINGLE PIPE THAT RECEIVES THE CONNECTION OF TWO OR MORE VENT PIPES AND IS
THEN CONNECTED TO THE MAIN VENT STACK OR IS EXTENDED TO THE ATMOSPHERE
SEPARATELY AT ONE POINT.

 WET VENT
A WASTE PIPE WHICH SERVES TO VENT AND CONVEY WATSE FROM FIXTURES OTHER THAN
WATER CLOSETS.

 FIXTURE DRAIN OR WASTE PIPE

PIPE THAT CONVEYS LIQUID WASTE NOT CONTAINING BODY WASTE FROM A FIXTURE
BRANCH TO THE JUNCTION OF ANY OTHER
DRAIN PIPE. IT DOES NOT CARRY THE WASTE FROM WATER CLOSETS & URINALS.
