Verbiage?

[nbhi]

What verbiage do any of you use when you come across an s trap?

Thanks

"Recommend a professional Plumber upgrade the S-trap to a P-trap due to the self-siphoning capabilities that can happen. An S-trap can become dry which can cause sewer smells to enter the living area."

Is that possible with the pipe terminating into the floor?

Yes, per the IRC (local codes might differ) with an air admittance valve.

P.S. Might be moot, since sewer piping is vented. See hole in piping behind the plastic drain?

The verbage David gave is correct.

I don't understand "terminating into the floor"?

Gary,

Plumbers have P-trap conversion kits that'll correct any waste pipes that penetrate into the floor.

How could you pipe? Would you have two traps for each sink? This is a kitchen sink, double. Curious?

Ah, I get it now - after re-reading the posts and thiinking about it for a min.

Nope...1 trap for a double sink.

Thanks David

[David P. Valley]

Anytime, Gary.

This set up is on two sinks. Wouldn't one sink act as a vent to prevent a break in the water seal in the trap?

[nbhi]

The two trap arms meet the 8 inch rule for a vertical drop, so is this set up proper?

[nbhi]

I just had another thought. There are two sinks in this setup, wouldn't one of the sinks act as an AAV?

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

The fixtures can't be used as "vents." Vents must be extended above the roofline or be fitted with an AAV (AAV's are not allowed by UPC).
