That would pertain to sewer plumbing in a S&B house
RV waste tanks..........poop goes plop directly under toilet and liquids run away from poop plop pile.
Just like an outhouse, vault toilet, pit latrine, squat toilet.......
I wonder how that stuff gets out of the tank then.. don't need no stinking slope.
Thanks for proving my point. You really don't want the liquid to get away, you do want to retain it and let it all drain together...
btw, I have never seen a vault toilet with drain at bottom with valve.
