   Usually, each floor drain is connected to a trap, to prevent sewer gases from escaping into indoors spaces. A floor sink is a type of floor drain primarily used as an indirect waste receptor. It is generally deeper than a standard floor drain and can have a full or partial grate, or no grate as required to accommodate the indirect waste pipes.

[3] One disadvantage of stainless steel is that, being made of thin metal, they tend to be noisier than most other sink materials ...

4. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

   A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.

5. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

   Turning a valve knob or lever adjusts flow by varying the aperture of the control device in the valve assembly. The result when opened in any degree is a choked flow . Its rate is independent of the viscosity or temperature of the fluid or gas in the pipe, and depends only weakly on the supply pressure , so that flow rate is stable at a given ...

6. History of water supply and sanitation - Wikipedia

   Sewage was disposed through underground drains built with precisely laid bricks, and a sophisticated water management system with numerous reservoirs was established. In the drainage systems, drains from houses were connected to wider public drains. Many of the buildings at Mohenjo-daro had two or more stories.

7. Deep fryer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_fryer

   Mild steel also expands under heat, which may damage the welds over time. Because of this, stainless steel fryers often come with a much longer warranty than mild steel fryers. Some commercial fryers have a "cold zone" at the bottom of the fry pot. This is where food particles, such as breading, batter or broken off pieces of food, sink to ...
