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.

How does a septic tank work, and can you provide a diagram to illustrate the process?
A septic tank works by separating solid waste from liquid waste. The solid waste settles at the bottom of the tank and is broken down by bacteria. The liquid waste flows out of the tank into a drain field where it is further treated by the soil. Here is a simple diagram to illustrate the process: Diagram of a septic tank with solid waste settling at the bottom, liquid waste flowing out into a drain field, and bacteria breaking down the waste
What is a clean out drain and Can I drain an outdoor sink by using a tee?
A clean out drain is actually any fixture or clean out plug /cap that will allow access to a waste or soil line and having an out door sink connected to this type of system may be forbidden by local codes as venting is a problem, trapping is another and winter freeze ups possibly Tees in general are used strictly for clean outs and not connecting any waste to it as the TEE will not drain at a right angle to the waste

What is soil waste?
Soil waste refers to the disposal or accumulation of unwanted or contaminated materials in the soil, leading to pollution and degradation of soil quality. This can include waste from industrial processes, agricultural activities, or improper disposal of household and municipal waste. Soil waste can have harmful effects on plant and animal life, as well as contribute to environmental issues such as water contamination and reduced soil fertility.
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. 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.
