Also known as a soil stack pipe. Typically a vertical pipe with a vent at the top. The pipe removes sewage and dirty water from a building, the vent at the top carries away any smells at a safe height. There should be a bird guard at the top to prevent birds nesting at the head of the pipe. The head of the pipe should terminate at least 900mm above any openings within 3m of the soil and vent pipe.
