Best Answer

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.

How does a soil pipe and a waste pipe differ?

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.
