Default near correct condensate drain

Recently someone wanted a picture of a correct condensate drain setup.

I have been looking and this is the best they get around here.

The condensate service/vent stub should be located after the condensate line trap, and it shouldn't be capped (or need to be capped, as might be the case if the line directly ties into a septic vent line). See this topic/discussion ... http://www.nachi.org/forum/showthrea...t=20383&page=4
