Explanation:
A Shower Waste as against Shower Trap.

A Shower Waste is a specialized trap, used in restricted places where there is no depth to take a trap, in places as Floor Showers, where the whole floor is used instead of a Shower tray.
Shower Trap, in the shape of a 'P' or an 'S', such as traps under Kitchen Sinks, toilets and Wash-hand Basins, where they 'trap' a quantity of water, preventing foul smells to escape up in the room.
