Technology
Terminology
ABS – Acrylonitrile-
butadiene-styrene.
Rigid black plastic
pipe used for Drain,
waste, and vent lines.
Please check your local
codes to see if this
material is code
approved. In most
major metropolitan
areas it is not a code
approved material.
Access Panel - a
covered opening in wall
made near a plumbing or
electrical fixture to allow
access for maintenance. In
plumbing an access panel
would hide control or shut
off valves or cleaouts for
rodding plumbing
fixtures.
Acid Waste – Any waste
water containing corrosives
or acidic liquids that must be
neutralized before entering
the municipal sewer system.
Most often fixtures receiving
acid waste are connected to
an acid dilution basin which
neutralizes acid before the
waste water enters the sewer.
ADA – (Americans with
Disabilities Act) This term is
very important as it relates to
plumbing. It affects the height
that water closets can be
mounted, the types of handles
you can install on a lavatory
faucet, how much pressure it
takes to push down a flush
valve handle and those are just
a few.
Aerator Fittings – a type
of fitting installed on a
plumbing fixture that mixes
water with air. These fittings
help with water conservation
and reduce splashing.
Air Admittance
Valve – the most common
of these is called a
STUDOR vent, these
valves are designed to
allow air into a drainage
system with out using a
vent. It opens to allow air
to equalize pressure in the
drainage system but closes
to stop sewer odors and
gases into the living space.
Air Chamber -A vertical air
filled pipe or manufactured spring
coil installed above the waterline in
a potable water system that absorbs
pressure fluctuations when valves
are turned off i.e. a shower is turned
off or a fill valve in a toilet slams
shut. The pressure absorbing
devices reduce water hammer.
Having air chambers on plumbing
fixtures with water connections is
code for most municipalities
Air Gap – The unobstructed
physical distance between the outlet end
of a plumbing apparatus or piping
delivering potable water to a plumbing
fixture to the flood rim level of the
receptacle (sink, dishwasher, clothes
washer or tank) Think of a kitchen sink
faucet with a pullout spray if you pulled it
out and laid it in the sink you would have
no air gap. The air gap protects the
potable water system from cross
contamination. Please see Backflow
Prevention Device, Vacuum breaker,
double detector check valves.
Angle Stop or Angle
Valve – Angle stops are named
because they are manufactured at a
90degree angle, they are used as
shut off valves at the water intake
of plumbing fixtures or appliances.
They usually have an oval handle
or can have a removable handle
when vandalism or theft is an
issue. They are not meant to be
used in high pressure situations.
Anti-Siphon Valve
(Vacuum Breaker) – The
simple definition is an anti-siphon
valve is a device installed on a water
supply line that prevents water from
backing up into the potable water
system. Vacuum breakers are an
example of an anti-siphon valve. Anti-
siphon valve are most commonly
spring loaded one way valves. When
the direction of flow is going in
desired direction all works well, if the
direction of liquid changes the valve
slams shut prevent back siphonage.
Apron (or Skirt) – The
decorative portion of a bathtub
that covers the rough-in area
of the tub. It is most easily
recognized on a whirlpool tub,
the apron is most often
removable to be able to
service the tubs plumbing and
or motor.

 Sanitation System
Sanitation refers to public health
conditions related to clean drinking
water and adequate treatment and
disposal of human excreta and sewage.
Sanitation systems are a combination of
different functional units that together
allow managing and reusing or
disposing the different waste flows from
households, institutions, agriculture or
industries in order to protect people and
the environment.
A sanitation system includes the capture, storage,
transport, treatment and disposal or reuse of human
excreta and wastewater. Reuse activities within the
sanitation system may focus on the nutrients, water,
energy or organic matter contained in excreta and
wastewater.
The systems are designed to address the whole water as
well as the nutrients cycle, from the toilet user where
wastewater is generated, over the collection, treatment
up to reuse or discharge.
