When you're blessed/cursed with 3 in a day one of them has to be a loser.

Along the lines of another post "new math" this is the plumber's version of "new exhaust".

Install flue in a P-trap configuration...once the gases make it to the top, it's all downhill from there...the weir keeps that nasty So. Cal outdoor air from entering the system...

Well, if they are going to trap the gases on top doesn't it need a cleanout.
