waste pipe

Sewer system conduit

A waste pipe is a pipe that carries used water away from sinks, bathtubs, washing machines, and other fixtures.

Distinguished from soil pipes, which carry sewage from toilets, waste pipes handle only gray water—water that's dirty but contains no human waste.

The plumber replaced the corroded waste pipe under the kitchen sink.
