The term ‘drainage stack’ or ‘drain stack’ is a relatively ambiguous one that is commonly used in the United States, and sometimes in commercial construction in the UK.

In very broad terms, it refers to a vertical pipe or stack that spans through one or more floors and into which drains from a property are connected to take waste water to a sewer. Branch drains run relatively horizontally from water closets, sinks, showers and so on to the vertical stack which then connects to a relatively horizontal sewer at its lowest point. A drain stack may be referred to as a vent stack above the point that drains connect to it, as a drain stack below the point at which waste drains into it and as a soil stack below the point at which sewage drains into it.

In the UK, particularly in domestic construction, this may be referred to as a soil vent pipe (SVP). Soil vent pipes allow the removal of waste from toilets, showers, baths and sinks, while also allowing odours to be released above the building, via a stack vent, at a level that will not cause a nuisance from the discharge of odours or gases. The pipe’s vents also allow air into the internal drainage system preventing a siphoning affect from occurring, and allowing free flow of waste water by gravity. It may also be described as a soil stack pipe, drain waste vent or ventilated discharge pipe and it often seen on an outside wall of domestic buildings, but may located internally.
