The bottom of the trap shall be six inches below the bottom of the outlet pipe. The brick work shall not be less than four inches in thickness, set upon a bottom of one layer of brick, and the brick shall be laid flat and shall not show more than four inches of space on the inner surface of the basin, shall be laid in a workmanlike manner and shall be thoroughly imbedded in hydraulic cement mortar so as to make the basin watertight.

(D) No privy vaults shall be connected with any public sewer or drains, except through an intervening catch basin, and the discharge pipe of the vault shall be high enough to prevent anything, but the liquid contents of the vault from passing into the sewer or drain.
