<description><![CDATA[Much attention is given today towards the movement towards and benefits of water-saving low flow (high efficiency) toilets for buildings. Very little thought to date however has been given to the downstream effects on the plumbing system resulting from the lower volumes of water used for flushing sanitary sewage. This article assesses the performance of three common drain pipe materials used today in North America and how each is affected by lower flushing water volumes from newer toilets, specifically in commercial construction.]]></description>
