The access
A good chase has an access panel at each floor, so a repair does not mean cutting into the finish.
The sound
The chase is insulated to muffle the sound of the stacks, and the pipes are supported within it.
The layout
The chase is planned in the design so the fixtures above and below line up, which shortens every run.
