Can you provide a detailed toilet drain diagram for better understanding of the plumbing system?
A detailed toilet drain diagram shows how waste from the toilet flows through the plumbing system. It typically includes the toilet bowl, trap, waste pipe, vent pipe, and main sewer line. The waste is flushed down the toilet bowl, goes through the trap to prevent sewer gases from entering the home, then flows through the waste pipe to the main sewer line. The vent pipe allows air to enter the system, preventing suction and ensuring proper drainage. This diagram helps understand how the plumbing system works to remove waste from the toilet effectively.

Do you need a p trap under a toilet?
No, a toilet does not require a P-trap because it has a built-in trap within its design, which helps prevent sewer gases from entering the home. The toilet's trap is specifically shaped to retain a small amount of water, creating a seal. However, additional drainage systems in the home, like sinks or bathtubs, do need P-traps.
