Drainage, Waste & VentPregunta 6 de 120
A horizontal building drain changes direction with a fitting that turns the flow 90 degrees. What does the code require at that point?
a.A backwater valve
b.A relief vent
c.A cleanout
d.An indirect waste receptor
Explicación
A cleanout is required at each change of direction of the building drain or horizontal waste line that exceeds 45 degrees, because a 90 degree turn is the point most likely to trap a stoppage. A backwater valve protects against sewer backflow, a relief vent relieves pressure in a stack, and an indirect waste receptor handles unconnected discharge, so none of them satisfies the access requirement.
