| Purpose: | The purpose is two fold. 1. To protect the domestic potable water supply. 2. Proper installation and venting of the DWV system is critical. The byproduct of the DWV system is methane gas, which is lethal, and must be vented to the exterior of any building. This is even more critical with the adoption of the energy codes. |
