Question 7
1) The tank must be large enough to hold the hot water discharge until cooled below 50 deg. C, before it is displaced by incoming water.
2) check jpeg

b) The trap separates and holds any oil or petrol present in wastes before it discharges to the sewer. The trap works on the principle that oil and petrol, being lighter than water, will float on the surface when the flow is reduced.
Please note that the advice I am giving is only my opinion and not necessarily a fact.  Please refer to our terms and conditions.
