Soil pipes and waste pipes differ in their purpose and the type of waste they handle. A soil pipe is designed to carry human waste and toilet paper from toilets to the sewer system or septic tank. A waste pipe, on the other hand, is designed to carry other types of waste, such as water from sinks, showers, and washing machines. Waste pipes can also carry food waste and other debris from garbage disposals. Additionally, waste pipes are typically smaller in diameter than soil pipes.

How does a soil pipe work?
A soil pipe is a vertical pipe that is part of a plumbing system and is used to carry waste materials from toilets and other plumbing fixtures to the sewage system or septic tank. It works by using gravity to allow waste to flow downwards and out of the building. The soil pipe is connected to the toilet's drain and is designed to prevent the escape of foul odors and gases.
What is the difference between soil and waste pipe?
Soil pipes and waste pipes serve distinct roles in a building's plumbing system. Soil pipes are designed to carry human waste from toilets, necessitating a larger diameter and steeper gradient due to their solid content. These pipes are crucial for safe waste disposal and are directly linked to sewage systems. In contrast, waste pipes handle liquid waste from sinks, showers, and appliances. Smaller in diameter and with a gentler gradient, they efficiently transport non-toilet wastewater. Proper functioning of both types of pipes is essential for maintaining a hygienic environment.

When using shower toilet bubbles then leaks now toilet is clogging?
As waste falls down a pipe it creates a positive pressure in front of it & a negative pressure behind it. To allow waste to flow down a pipe properly these presures are balanced via a soil vent pipe. Im not a builder, but sounds like there may not be a soil vent pipe on your system, or at least an 'air admittance valve' (AAV can sometimes be used if the soil pipe cant be taken externally).
How do you fix a leaking cast iron threaded waste pipe?
This depends on the size and the location of the leak. It depends because a leak on the straight piece of the pipe will differ from a leak on the joint of the pipe. It also depends on the corrosion of the pipe and the extent as to how bad it is.
What is a soil stack and how does it function in a building's plumbing system?
A soil stack is a vertical pipe in a building that carries waste water and sewage from toilets and other plumbing fixtures to the sewer system or septic tank. It functions by allowing gravity to pull the waste water down the pipe and out of the building, preventing backups and maintaining proper drainage.

What pipe size is for kitchen drain pipe to sewer?
30 cm cheers broA kitchen WASTE pipe is 11/2" in many codes which is utter stupidity as the kitchen WASTE line does become reduced with grease and soap scum depositsIf the WASTE piping is going under ground to connect to the SOIL line (sewer piping) then 2" is strongly recommended as snaking an 11/2 line can be very challenging as the fittings are very short radius
Can you use waste pipe glue on high pressure lines?
if your waste pipe is PVC and your glue is for PVC . yes! but make sure to use a primer(cleaner) on the pipe first.
What is dual pipe system?
This is the traditional system of drainage within buildings. The foul or soil matter is conveyed in a separate drain and stack from the waste matter. The size of the soil stack should not be less than the size of any soil fitting discharging into it, and in Nigeria, is generally not less than 100mm. The waste stack is similarly sized and is generally not less than 50mm.
