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.
