How does the plumbing in my house work?
Plumbing Basics. Your home’s supply and drainage system must always be two distinct subsystems, with no overlapping. At the fixtures (bridges between the two systems), the air admitted by the vent stack and vent pipes keeps the traps sealed and prevents sewer gases from backing up through the drains.

What are the components of a plumbing system?
The major categories of plumbing systems or subsystems are:

potable cold and hot tap water supply.
plumbing drainage venting.
sewage systems and septic systems with or without hot water heat recycling and graywater recovery and treatment systems.
Rainwater, surface, and subsurface water drainage.
fuel gas piping.

Water Pipes: A water pipe is a pipe or tube, frequently made of plastic or metal,[a] that carries pressurized and treated fresh water to a building (as part of a municipal water system), as well as inside the building.

The difference between pipes and tubes is simply in the way it is sized. PVC pipe for plumbing applications and galvanized steel pipe for instance, are measured in IPS (iron pipe size). Copper tube, CPVC, PeX and other tubing is measured nominally, which is basically an average diameter. These sizing schemes allow for universal adaptation of transitional fittings. For instance, 1/2 PeX tubing is the same size as 1/2 copper tubing. 1/2 PVC on the other hand is not the same size as 1/2 tubing, and therefore requires either a threaded male or female adapter to connect them. When used in agricultural irrigation, the singular form pipe is often used as a plural.

The thicknesses of the water pipe and tube walls can vary. Pipe wall thickness is denoted by various schedules or for large bore polyethylene pipe in the UK by the Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR), defined as the ratio of the pipe diameter to its wall thickness. Pipe wall thickness increases with schedule, and is available in schedules 20, 40, 80, and higher in special cases. The schedule is largely determined by the operating pressure of the system, with higher pressures commanding greater thickness. 24 hour plumber maspeth Copper tubing is available in four wall thicknesses: type DWV (thinnest wall; only allowed as drain pipe per UPC), type ‘M’ (thin; typically only allowed as drain pipe by IPC code), type ‘L’ (thicker, standard duty for water lines and water service), and type ‘K’ (thickest, typically used underground between the main and the meter). Because piping and tubing are commodities, having a greater wall thickness implies higher initial cost. Thicker walled pipe generally implies greater durability and higher pressure tolerances.
