A thread/question for the trade workers, engineers, and hydrologists... weirdos stay out!

Here is an experiment you can try at home.

Take a full glass of water to the second floor turn it over and time how long the glass takes to empty on the floor.

Next you can test if you can guzzle beer faster on the second floor vs the first floor.

Sounds like someone has never shotgunned a beer.

That's how I heard it too.

I was a first or second year apprentice and we were on a casino addition. All the trades got along good... But a couple of the plumbers were some real smartasses.

They were talking shit to me and another apprentice one day... And my buddy let's them finish their smack talk and says... "Yeah, well, at least I can still chew my fingernails."

They didn't talk to us the rest of the day. 😆

I'm not a plumber, but know a few things about it and hydraulics.

For the most part, your stack is an open pipe for sewage to simply fall down, all the way into the city sewage system. The vent is designed to keep it at atmospheric pressure. If sewage is falling from a greater height, then it will be faster when it reaches the bottom is all. It affects nothing as long as nothing is clogged.

The trap does nothing more than stop the sewage gas from flowing into your home from the pipes

Edit: There are exceptions and special devices when the flow of sewage must be made to go up instead of the usual down

I heard there was a weirdo meetup in this thread? There’s probably going to be quite a few weirdos that show up, did anyone else bring snacks?

I got some spray cheese (poors fawndoo) and mini-weenies.
(Well, one anyway)

With this many weirdos you know there’s crackers around somewhere.

2.31 ft of water is one additional psi of water pressure. So launching a turd from the second floor might give you 3 pounds of additional pressure to shove that turd out to the street.

Depending on where you live water pressure is normally at least 25psi. That should be enough to launch a turd from ground level out to the street or into your septic tank. Maybe try more fiber if you mud butt is making the pipes clog.

You're mistaking how a turd gets flushed (never thought that would ever come up in a convo before).

The water pressure just feeds the toilet, turd removal is via gravity with the small additional boost that water weight adds.

Teh fuck is this going anyway ?

Oh, before anyone calls it out, yes there are pressurized flush systems on some high dollar commercial shitters but even in the commercial world they are not common, or standard, by any means.
