The rehabilitation work included chemical sealing of manholes and sewer lines, structural spot repairs, and extensive manhole upgrades ... All joints within the mainline sewer were pressure tested and sealed, using a urethane chemical grout. All lateral service mouth connections were pressure tested and sealed. Several areas of the sewer system required inline reaming to remove root infestations, protruding lateral connections and calcium deposits prior to chemical grouting. 2, record 2, English, - protruding%20lateral

Back vent. A pipe or system of pipes connected to the drainage pipes of a plumbing system for the purpose of supplying or removing air to relieve pressures above or below atmospheric. A back vent is that part of a vent line which connects directly with an individual trap beneath or behind a fixture and extends to a branch or main soil or waste pipe at any point higher than the fixture or fixture trap it serves. 6, record 3, English, - back%20vent
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 DEF
Anti-siphonage pipe. An air pipe in a plumbing system which admits air downstream of a water seal in a w.c., sink or washbasin, thus preventing the creation of a vacuum in the wake of water flushed down the drain and avoiding the breakage of the seal which such a vacuum could cause. The top of an anti-siphonage pipe may be connected to a ventilation pipe. 2, record 3, English, - back%20vent

On distingue les ventilations primaires, qui équipent obligatoirement toutes les chutes et descentes, et les ventilations secondaires qui, raccordées sur les premières, constituent des prises d’air pour les siphons, évitant ainsi leur désamorçage par l’aspiration créée dans la chute. 9, record 3, French, - ventilation%20secondaire

Les siphons sont susceptibles de se désamorcer. La norme suivante a été établie : P 41-201. Évacuation des eaux usées.

Lorsqu’on a affaire, d’une part à une descente qui ne reçoit que des lavabos bidets, baignoires, éviers et autres appareils de même nature et d’autre part à une chute qui ne reçoit que des W.-C., on se contente de les ventiler chacune par le haut en les prolongeant hors combles dans le même diamètre : c’est ce qu’on appelle la ventilation primaire. Si l’on réunit descente et chute en une chute unique la norme fait obligation d’établir une ventilation spéciale pour tous les siphons des appareils autres que les W.-C. : c’est ce qu’on appelle la ventilation secondaire. Quand il y a plusieurs appareils les ventilations sont raccordées à un réseau dit réseau de ventilation secondaire. 4, record 3, French, - ventilation%20secondaire
