The visible water surface in a toilet is the top of the trap's water seal. Each fixture drain, with exceptions, must be vented so that negative air pressure in the drain cannot siphon the trap dry, to prevent positive air pressure in the sewer from forcing gases past the water seal, and to prevent explosive sewer gas buildup.
In plumbing, a closet flange (also known as a toilet flange) is a pipe fitting (specifically, a type of flange) that both mounts a toilet to the floor and connects the closet bend to a drain pipe. The name comes from the term "water closet", the traditional name for a toilet. Closet flanges are typically made of brass, cast iron, ABS, PVC, and ...
Although flange fittings are bulky, they perform well in demanding applications such as large water supply networks and hydroelectric systems. Flanges are rated at 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 psi; or 10, 15, 25, 40, 64, 100, and 150 bars of pressure. Various types of flanges are available, depending on construction.

In the base cabinet under the sink, the drain hose from the dishwasher feeds the "top" of the air gap, and the "bottom" of the air gap is plumbed into the sink drain below the basket, or into a garbage disposal unit. When installed and maintained properly, the air gap works as described above, and prevents drain water from the sink from backing ...
Note: These diagrams represent a configuration typical in the USA, mechanisms may vary in other countries [citation needed]. The toilet ballcock, long made of brass and later made of plastic, was superseded by the float cup, pioneered in 1957 by the Fluidmaster founder Adolf Schoepe , which is integrated with the tank’s fill valve and so ...

The gap between the flange faces has been exaggerated by a factor of four to make it clearly visible. The choke flange can also be mated with a plain cover flange and still form a pressure seal. A choke connection is formed by mating one choke flange and one cover (or gasket/cover) flange. The central region of the choke flange face is very ...
