P Trap Installation
Violet Mcdow
This is not the correct way to install a p-trap. The pipe exiting the sink should run vertically into the top of the p-trap, then exit the p-trap horizontally back into the wall and connect to the sanitary pipe via a sanitary tee fitting.
The configuration in your photo converts the p-trap into an s-trap. S-traps are known to fail due to self-siphoning. Your configuration also eliminates the proper venting of the drain line, which can cause slower draining of the sink.
The P-trap is a vital plumbing component that will help prevent sewer gases from entering your home and ensure proper drainage from your sink. Whether replacing an old P-trap or installing a new one for the first time, this comprehensive tutorial will walk you through the process with clear instructions and helpful tips.
Position a nut and slip joint washer on the tailpiece. Then, slip the tailpiece into the j-bend, securing the seal with the slip joint washer. Tighten the nut to connect the pieces securely. Make sure you also tighten the nut connecting the J-bend to the wall tube.
Once your P-trap is securely installed, turn the water supply back on and let the water run for a few moments. Check around the connections for any signs of leaks. If you notice a leak, tighten the nuts a bit more until the leak stops.
This general-purpose kit is designed for open spaces where trees and bushes are inaccessible, making setting up our Townes-style Malaise trap II (BT1011) easy.

A Grease Trap (also known as a Grease Interceptor) is designed to intercept food waste and grease before entering your sewer system. Doing so helps to protect your plumbing, sewer lines, and septic tank from clogs and blockages.
Although installing a grease trap may seem fairly straightforward, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you need to make sure that the grease trap is the appropriate size for your needs. Second, you will need to obtain the proper permits before installation can begin. Third, the job will require some plumbing knowledge and experience.
When it comes to sizing, you need to take into account the amount of FOG that will be going into the grease trap. This can be a tricky estimate, as it is difficult to know how much grease will be produced until the kitchen has been operating for a while. A good rule of thumb is to use the following formula:
Once you have determined the size of the grease trap you need, the next step is to obtain the proper permits. In most jurisdictions, a permit is required for any type of plumbing work. The cost of the permit will vary depending on your location, but it is typically a few hundred dollars.
After you have obtained the necessary permits, you can begin the installation process. This job will require some basic plumbing knowledge and experience. If you are not comfortable with this, it is best to hire a professional plumber to handle the installation.
It should be installed as close to the source of the FOG as possible. This could be under the sink, next to the stove, or in the basement. Once you have found the perfect location, you will need to cut a hole in the floor for the inlet and outlet pipes.
The inlet pipe is the pipe that carries wastewater from the sink to the grease trap. The outlet pipe is the pipe that carries wastewater from the grease trap to the sewer line. These pipes should be installed according to local building codes.
The grease trap should be installed in the hole you cut in the floor. Make sure that it is level, so that the wastewater can flow properly. Once the grease trap is in place, you will need to connect the inlet and outlet pipes to it.
After the grease trap is installed, you will need to test it to make sure that it is working properly. To do this, simply pour a few gallons of water into the sink and let it run into the grease trap. You should see the water level in the grease trap rise and then fall as the wastewater is removed.
It is important to perform regular maintenance on your grease trap to ensure that it is working properly. This includes cleaning out the trap on a regular basis and making sure that the inlet and outlet pipes are clear of debris.
We hope that this article has given you a better understanding of grease traps and how they work. Remember, if you are not comfortable with the installation process, it is best to hire a professional plumber. If you need help with plumbing, contact us!
Steam traps must be installed in piping before use, but some piping runs horizontally and some runs vertically. Is it acceptable to install steam traps in whichever of the two types of piping one wishes?
Types in which gravity has no effect on operation, for example types whose operation principal relies on a phase change from steam to water or parts whose shape changes, have relatively few restrictions.
There are many thermostatic and disc types that may be used on both vertical and horizontal piping. In particular, disc types are known for being able to be used on both vertical and horizontal piping with no problems.
Depending on the installation orientation, the condensate inside the trap may not be level. This operation of this type of trap is based on temperature differences, so unevenness in temperature at the temperature-sensitive part has an adverse effect on operation.
However, even the Quick Trap Series has a proper installation orientation for the trap unit. The trap should be positioned with the top and bottom in the correct orientation, while the connector unit can be installed in any orientation.
When considering an HVAC system for a home or commercial setting, it's not just about ensuring that air flows correctly, it's also about ensuring unwanted elements like excess condensation and foul odors don't make their way back into the home. That's where specialized components like RectorSeal's EZ Trap provides a professional solution.
Just like a p-trap in your plumbing system, the EZ Trap has been designed and engineered to create a barrier against undesirables such as excess water and odors. The trap is seamlessly integrated into your air conditioner's condensate drain line, and its unique design allows for a constant water seal, effectively preventing foul odors or gases from the conditioned space.
The transparent or translucent body of the EZ Trap allows you to easily visualize the contents of the trap, facilitating effortless inspections. You can check for potential issues like clogs or algae buildup without having to dismantle the entire assembly.
Regularly inspect the transparent or translucent section of the EZ Trap for signs of clogs, debris, or algae growth. While these units are designed for minimal upkeep, regular visual inspections will go a long way in ensuring the efficiency and longevity of your HVAC system's condensate drain ensuring HVAC system operating efficiency.
The installation of the Litter Trap required the construction of a gravel access drive to the North Fork running from Candler Lake East to the North Fork of Nancy Creek above Murphey Candler Lake. The access drive was laid out in a manner to minimize the number of trees that had to be removed and to minimize the impact on potential wetlands within the area.
This Murphey Candler watershed improvement project has been a work in progress for most of this year and stayed on track despite handicaps created by the coronavirus pandemic. The Litter Trap will provide an effective means to collect trash that would normally flow into Murphey Candler Lake from upstream properties and Interstate 285. The trap collects litter floating in live streams by capturing the trash floating along the top and holding it in a cage that can be lifted out of the system and emptied.
The Brookhaven Liter Trap is only the fifth one to be installed in Georgia and the 21st trap to be installed in the United States. The Georgia traps have been installed in Atlanta, Waycross, Gainesville and near Savannah.
In addition to helping keep Murphey Candler Lake clean, the trap will be used as an educational tool as it will show the amount of trash that flows through the creek into the lake after a storm event. Regular maintenance will be performed to remove the trash as it is collected.
