What determines the depth of pipeline insertion in the gas water seal?

What determines the depth to which the pipeline is inserted into the gas water seal? It is known that it is determined by the pressure of the medium. When calculating the pressure of gas that can be sealed by this system, the formula P=pgh is used; so what does h refer to? Is it the vertical distance from the surface of the flowing liquid to the bottom plate of the water seal, or is it the length of the pipeline that extends below the water surface?
The pressure generated by the water seal height just needs to be greater than the pressure of the gas being sealed in. The height of the water seal can be calculated using Pascal’s law.
