    Building drainage systems collect waste water from sanitary appliances like sinks and toilets. The waste water flows through connected pipe systems by gravity. There are four main types of building drainage systems that differ in how the branch pipes that connect to sanitary appliances are filled. The basic structure includes sanitary appliances, branch pipes to collect the waste water, vertical stacks to transfer it downward, underground pipes, and connection to the sewage system. The waste water flows through different sections with changing hydraulic conditions depending on whether the flow is horizontal or vertical.

    6.1 Building drainage


    In building drainage systems, waste water is generally produced at drinking water abstraction points. After
    use, the contaminated potable water is discharged from a sanitary appliance to the building drainage system.
    A sanitary appliance must be assigned to each drinking water abstraction point.
    Sanitary appliances represent the beginning of a building drainage system. The waste water collected by
    sanitary appliances is collected via a connected pipe system and discharged into the sewage system.
    Drainage systems use the effect of gravity on liquids to drain waste water. In the area of building drainage,
    DIN EN 12056-2:2001-01 describes 4 system types of building drainage systems which operate by means of
    gravity. The 4 types differ in the filling of the branch discharge pipes which can be partially filled or
    completely filled.
    For types 1 and 2, the sanitary appliances are connected to partially filled branch discharge pipes, which
    discharge the waste water from the respective floor to the stacks. Building drainage systems of types 1 and 2
    generally consist of four sections:

    2 Branch discharge pipe
    3 Stack
    4 Underground and collector pipe
    5 To the sewage system

    The waste water from sanitary appliances is directed via branch discharge pipes to the stack. Stacks transfer
    the waste water to underground and collector pipes from where it is finally discharged into the sewage
    system.
    Depending on whether the water flows in a horizontal or vertical section, there are different hydraulic
    conditions in the individual pipe sections. Branch discharge pipes and underground and collector pipes are
    horizontal sections with the same hydraulic conditions. In contrast, the vertical stacks feature other hydraulic
    conditions.
