THE DRAINLINE TRANSPORT OF SOLID WASTE IN BUILDINGS
Phase 2.0
Potential blockages in commercial building drain lines have been feared by plumbers and building managers due to increasingly efficient plumbing fixtures. The Plumbing Efficiency Research Coalition (PERC) identified this issue as a critical research need, and undertook an earlier phase of this study to examine the behavior of drain lines under certain conditions. This report is the second part of that study evaluating the characteristics of transport of solid waste in commercial building drains.
- In order to understand the findings and recommendations contained in this second study installment, it is imperative to first read the PERC report, The Drainline Transport of Solid Waste in Buildings (Phase 1) on the Plumbing Efficiency Research Coalition site.
- The first study began to provide needed answers to the question of whether or not drain line blockages could regularly occur.
- This report is the second part of that study evaluating the characteristics of transport of solid waste in commercial building drains.
