A scholar of medieval history, Professor George Smith was on sabbatical studying Scottish legends and myths when he chanced to meet an aged Scotsman and his granddaughter on their way to her new boarding school in the Isles of Skye. The young girl had accidentally left her book behind, and the professor picked it up meaning to send it on to her. But then he looked inside and discovered it was no ordinary book. It was a school textbook on magic. Could it be real? Could it have actually been left by accident and found by chance? Or was it all an elaborate hoax played on the unsuspecting professor? Did he ever find the secret Isles of Skye School of Magick? Did he ever discover the hidden world of wizards and witches implied by the book's very existence? Or did they find him? The professor vanished soon afterwards, and the answers are unknown. Read the book and decide for yourself.

The horizontal drainage pipe is connected with the horizontal pipe
The horizontal drainage pipes shall be connected with the horizontal drainage pipes by oblique three-way, oblique four-way or three-way and four-way along the water. To be specific, the connection between the horizontal sewage pipes should not be made with a straight three-way or a straight four-way, but with an inclined three-way or an inclined four-way or a straight three-way or a straight four-way. These connections could ensure the normal operation and drainage effect of the drainage pipeline.

The difference between the main pipe and the branch pipe
The main pipe, main pipe, and branch pipe had different definition and functions in the water supply system. The following conclusions: The main pipe referred to the pipe section from the indoor main valve (or water meter) to the water supply standpipe. It was usually in the form of a standpipe, responsible for guiding water from the water source to various locations in the building. The main water supply line was usually the main water supply line in the system and could span multiple floors. The main pipe referred to the pipe section from the water source to the most unfavorable point. The most unfavorable point could be the farthest water distribution point or the highest water distribution point. The main pipe was usually in the form of a vertical pipe or a horizontal pipe, because it must have small pipes that were divided from other pipes. These small pipes were branch pipes. The function of the main pipe was to connect the pipe section of the household pipe and the branch pipe to carry out up and down transportation. The branch pipe was a water distribution pipe on the same floor, starting from the main pipe and ending at the water distribution valve of the faucet or sanitary ware. The branch pipe was usually a horizontal pipe that connected to sanitary ware or other water points. In summary, the main pipe, the main pipe, and the branch pipe have different meanings and functions in the water supply system. The main pipe was the main water supply line, the main pipe was the pipe section that connected the household pipe and the branch pipe to transport water up and down, and the branch pipe was the water distribution pipe on the same floor.

Horizontal branch pipe and horizontal main pipe of drainage
Horizontal branch pipes and horizontal main pipes were two types of pipes in the drainage system of buildings. The horizontal branch pipe was a horizontal pipe section connecting the sewage collection device drain pipe and the vertical drainage pipe, and was used to send sewage from the sewage collection devices to the vertical drainage pipe. The horizontal branch pipe should have a certain slope to facilitate smooth drainage. The horizontal main pipe was a pipe section that connected several drainage vertical pipes to the discharge pipe, mainly to receive the drainage of the horizontal branch pipe. The connection point of the horizontal branch pipe and the horizontal main pipe has a certain distance from the bottom of the vertical drainage pipe to ensure the normal operation of the drainage system. The specific connection requirements could refer to the relevant specifications and design standards.

The difference between upvee spiral pipe and drainage pipe
The difference between the UpPVP spiral pipe and the drainage pipe was that the UpPVP spiral pipe was a special type of drainage pipe with a noise reduction function. The inner wall was smooth, and the noise during drainage was low. The drainage pipe was an ordinary pipe with no noise reduction function. Therefore, the upvee spiral pipe could reduce noise during the drainage process, but the drainage pipe did not have this function.

The drainage horizontal branch pipe is connected with the vertical pipe.
When the horizontal drainage branch pipe is connected to the vertical pipe, different connection methods can be used. According to the Design Standard for Building Water and Waste Water, when the sanitary ware drainage pipe is vertically connected to the horizontal drainage pipe, a 90° inclined tee should be used. When the horizontal branch pipe is connected with the vertical pipe, it can adopt a three-way or four-way downstream pipe and a 45° inclined three-way or 45° inclined four-way pipe. In a special single-standpipe system, the horizontal branch pipe and the standpipe can be connected by special accessories. In addition, according to some provisions of the Building Water and Waste Design Code, when the drainage stand pipe is only equipped with a top vent pipe, the vertical distance between the lowest drainage horizontal branch pipe and the stand pipe bottom shall not be less than the specified distance. According to the Connection Design and Material Selection of Building Drainpipe Branch and Horizontal Main, when the drainage branch pipe on the upper layer of the horizontal main drainage pipe is connected to the horizontal main drainage pipe, it is recommended to use a 45° inclined tee to connect it from the top of the horizontal main drainage pipe. To sum up, when the horizontal drainage branch pipe is connected to the vertical pipe, different connection methods such as 90° inclined three-way, downstream three-way or downstream four-way, 45° inclined three-way or 45° inclined four-way can be used.

The difference between horizontal branch pipe and horizontal main pipe
The difference between the horizontal branch drainage pipe and the horizontal main drainage pipe was their function and connection method. The horizontal branch drainage pipe was a horizontal pipe section connected to the sanitary ware, usually connected vertically or diagonally to the main pipe. It was used to distribute water to different zones or floors and supply specific faucet or equipment through the horizontal branch pipe. The horizontal main pipe was the main pipe in the system, also known as the main pipe. It was usually in the basement or buried. It went from the water source to the most unfavorable point. The most unfavorable point was usually the farthest water distribution point or the water distribution point at the elevation. Therefore, the difference between the horizontal branch pipe and the horizontal main pipe was their function and location.
