    THE SOMERSET TRAP. (Referred to at page 2%) m DESCRIPTION. A, drain from house. B, continuation of drain to common sewer, or outfall. C, opening for cleaning trap. This, when the drain is deep, is continued to the surface by 4-inch pipes, and the cleaning is effectually done by stirring the contents of the trap and pouring down a bucket of water. D, opening for ventilation, continued to ventilation flue in wall of house or other conductor by 4-inch pipes. In some cases, where the trap is used at a distance from the house, to prevent a blow-up from the outfall, the opening D would be merely carried to the surface and covered with an open grating.
