A waste pipe gas trap, also known as a P-trap, is a U-shaped pipe used in Plumbing systems to prevent the escape of foul sewer gases from entering a building. It works by creating a water barrier that traps the gases in the pipe, while still allowing wastewater to flow through freely. This helps to maintain a sanitary and odor-free environment in the building.

Plumbing pitch is the amount of fall you have on your waste.
