In J-ijjj. 71, the diagram Iio. Improper and proper positions of vent pipes. on the right shows the condition after siphonage has occurred ; thegreater part of the water has been drawn over until air can be suckedthrough, and that which remains has fallen back into place. Theresult is that a free communication exists between the fixture aboveand the soil-pipe below. The diagram on the left sliows tlie conditionof the seal if the trap is connected with a ventilating pipe through V. In venting traps in this way, the position of the vent pipe is ofconsiderable importance. Ordinarily, it is placed as shown in thefigure. The objection to this procedure and the proper method areshown in Fig. 72. If the pipe enters in the middle of the bend, eachdischarge of sewage into the trap causes a projection of the liquidupward into the pipe V, and after a time an accumulation is likelyto occur at A. If the pipe is situated fiirther to the right, as in thediawing on the right, this accumulation is not likely to occur, and 518 HABITA
