To limit the probability that inadequate relief venting at offsets in soil-or-waste stacks that are subject to a high hydraulic load will lead to a piston effect of flow that typically fills a high proportion of a pipe's cross-sectional area due to changes in direction, which could lead to back pressure in drainage systems, which could lead to trap seal failure, which could lead to the entry of sewer gases into occupied space, which could lead to negative effects on indoor air quality, which could lead to harm to persons.
