Vent pipe
Soil pipe
Waste pipe
Drainage pipe
The surface of the earth is subjected to an atmospheric pressure valued about ______at sea level.

55.27 newtons
The most common serious problems being encountered in a drainage system lacking ventilation is _____________.
Trap Seal Loss
Clogging
Retardation of flow
Leakage
Trap seal loss in drainage system cause by minus pressure is ___________.
Siphonage
Back pressure
Capillary Attraction
Retardation of flow
_______________is caused by a plus pressure which blows the water out of the fixture. It usually happens when a large flow of water drops and form as a slug and compresses the air inside the pipe.
Siphonage
Back pressure
Capillary Attraction
Retardation of flow
This kind of trap seal loss also seldom happen and is rarely experienced by homeowners. This condition is caused by foreign objects like thread or string suspended and extended over the outlet arm of the trap.
Siphonage
Back pressure
Capillary Attraction
Retardation of flow
_______________is that portion of the soil stack above the highest installed fixture branch extending through the roof. It serves as the terminal for the main vent and other vents of the plumbing installation.
Main soil and waste vent
The main vent
Individual Vent
Circuit or loop vent
____________is that portion of the vent pipe system serving as terminal for the smaller forms of individual and grouped fixture trap ventilation. It is sometimes referred to as a collecting vent line.
Main soil and waste vent
The main vent
Individual Vent
Circuit or loop vent
____________is sometimes referred to as Back Vent. It is that portion of the vent pipe system which serves a single trap. So far it is the most effective means of vent for fixture trap to prevent minus or plus pressure.
Main soil and waste vent
The main vent
Individual Vent
Circuit or loop vent
____________is employed where two or more fixture traps are installed on a horizontal soil or waste branch. The use of circuit vent generally reduces the cost of plumbing installation.
Main soil and waste vent
The main vent
Individual Vent
Circuit or loop vent
