3.—Every person who shall construct a watercloset in connection with a
building, shall furnish such watercloset with a cistern of adequate capacity
for the purpose of flushing, which shall be separate and distinct from anv
cistern used for drinking purposes, and shall be so constructed, fitted and
placed, as to admit of the supply of water for use in such watercloset so that
there shall not be any direct connection between any service pipe upon the
premises and any part of the apparatus of such watercloset other than such
flushing cistern.
Provided always that the foregoing requirement shall be deemed to be
complied with in any case where the apparatus of a watercloset is connected
for the purpose of flushing with a cistern of adequate capacity, which is used
solely for flushing waterclosets or urinals
He shall construct or fix the pipe and union connecting such flushing cistern
with the pan, basin, or other receptacle with which such watercloset may
be provided, so that such pipe and union shall not in any part have an
internal diameter of less than one inch and a quarter.
He shall furnish such watercloset with a suitable apparatus for the effectual
application of water to any pan, basin, or other receptacle with which such
apparatus may be connected and used, and for the effectual flushing and
cleansing of such pan, basin, or other receptacle, and for the prompt and
effectual removal therefrom, and from the trap connected therewith, of any
solid or liquid filth which may from time to time be deposited therein.
He shall furnish such watercloset with a pan, basin, or other suitable
receptacle of non-absorbent material, and of such shape, of such capacity, and
of such mole of construction as to receive and contain a sufficient quantity
of water, and to allow all filth which may from time to time be deposited in
such pan, basin, or receptacle, to fall free of the sides thereof and directly
into the water received and contained in such pan, basin, or receptacle.
He shall not construct or fix under such pan, basin, or receptacle, any
" container " or other similar fitting.
He shall construct or fix immediately beneath or in connection with such
pan, basin, or other suitable receptacle, an efficient syphon trap, so constructed
that it shall at all times maintain a sufficient water seal between such pan,
basin, or other suitable receptacle, and any drain or soil pipe in connection
therewith. He shall not construct or fix in or in connection with the watercloset
apparatus any D trap or other similar trap.
If he shall construct any watercloset or shall fix or fit any trap to any
existing watercloset or in connection with a soil pipe, which is itself in connection
with any other watercloset, he shall cause the trap of every such
watercloset to be ventilated into the open air at a point as high as the top of
the soil pipe, or into the soil pipe at a point above the highest watercloset
connected with such soil pipe, and so that such ventilating pipe shall have in
all parts an internal diameter of not less than two inches, and shall be connected
with the arm of the soil pipe at a point not less than three and not
more than twelve inches from the highest part of the trap and on that side of
the water seal which is nearest to the soil pipe.
