Soil or Waste Stacks. A soil or waste stack (normally just called a stack) is a drainage pipe that passes through at least one story(floor to ceiling) as a drain pipe, this also includes any horizontal offsets. Every soil or waste stack will terminate in a stack vent that leads to outside air or a vent header.
