Manhole VS Floor Clean out
Manhole VS Floor Clean out
(OP)
Dear friends, i was looking to clarify the difference between FCO and Manhole. I have done some study and read threads here but info is contradicting.
1.Look into the file attached where ground floor sewer line is depicted which utilises manhole at every point. I have been designing such models for my residential projects. But i feel something is going wrong as MH (60x60x60CM) cant be put in so many numbers, sometimes being distanced at 2mts itself.
2. What is the significance of using Gully trap in the waste line outside the building. I have seen other drawings where the Floor clean out assembles both soil and waste line without using any gully trap, probably the Floor drain serves the Gully trap purpose. Which one is technically correct..?

2. I believe the gully traps are also called grease traps to potentially prevent grease from sinks from clogging sewer lines. I would guess they're also used to limit the amount of soils from floor drains.
One thing that I did notice is that it appears that the kitchen does not have any line going from the floor drain or the sink to the sewer line.
