The name comes from the term "water closet", the traditional name for a toilet.
A flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength (as the flange of a steel beam such as an I-beam or a T-beam); for easy attachment/transfer of contact force with another object (as the flange on the end of a pipe, steam cylinder, etc., or on the lens mount of a camera); or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its ...
The visible water surface in a toilet is the top of the trap's water seal. Each fixture drain, with exceptions, must be vented so that negative air pressure in the drain cannot siphon the trap dry, to prevent positive air pressure in the sewer from forcing gases past the water seal, and to prevent explosive sewer gas buildup.
The gap between the flange faces has been exaggerated by a factor of four to make it clearly visible. The choke flange can also be mated with a plain cover flange and still form a pressure seal. A choke connection is formed by mating one choke flange and one cover (or gasket/cover) flange. The central region of the choke flange face is very ...
