Answered on 6th Jul 2022 - Member since Sep 2017 - report"DRAIN WASTE VENT (DMV)
In modern plumbing, a drain-waste-vent (or DWV) is part of a system that removes sewage and greywater from a building, and regulates air pressure in the waste-system pipes to aid free flow. Waste is produced at fixtures such as toilets, sinks, and showers, and exits the fixtures through a trap, a dipped section of pipe that always contains water. The trap the dipped section is there to stop the fowl gasses from escaping."
