Self-Siphonage of Fixture Traps.

Abstract The paper describes the methods used and the results obtained in an experimental investigation of the self-siphonage of fixture traps in plumbing systems. Self-siphonage is the reduction in depth of the water seal in the trap by flow from the fixture that discharges through the trap. The different factors that affect self-siphonage are determined, and methods for reducing the ill effects of self-siphonage are suggested. Finally, recommendations and conclusions in a form suitable for use by code-writing authorities are presented.
