    Each fixture usually has a characteristic means of connection.

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

    Generally, a toilet outlet has the shortest trap seal, making it most vulnerable to being emptied by induced siphonage. An additional risk of pressurizing a system ahead of a waste stream is the potential for it to overwhelm a downstream trap and force tainted water into its fixture. Serious hygiene and health consequences can result.

    A simple design is a manhole that allows a sanitary worker to open and close a value from the ground level to perform water filling and flushing operations. Water source for flushing manholes can come from potable water, tidal water, or water from clarifiers of sewage treatment plants [1] [29]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_service_line

    The amount of required flushing may be longer if the house is far back from the curb, which would have a longer lead service line. In order to conserve water, showering and flushing the toilet can also be used. [35] However, those alternative activities will not flush the line at the kitchen, where it is the main tap for water consumption.

    Depending on the region, the term "pit latrine" may be used to denote a toilet that has a squatting pan with a water seal or siphon (more accurately termed a pour-flush pit latrine – very common in South East Asia for example) or simply a hole in the ground without a water seal (also called a simple pit latrine) – the common type in most ...
