, noxious gases may beproduced and may enter the building and waste will not properly leave the building. Systemperformance depends highly upon quality installation, which is the primary reason why buildingcodes have opted to write codes in a prescriptive manner.Students now read about DWV systems in textbooks, and use the prescriptive building codes to draftdiagrams the systems - which in industry are used to fabricate and install the DWV systems, but failto understand the physics behind why DWV works and often cannot adapt the code to situationswhich are not specifically prescribed in the code. Several practices are used for the installation ofDWV piping in buildings. These include, but are not limited to the following
