Default "W" trap?

I've seen P traps and S traps, but this W trap is a new one. The corrugated plastic pipe is a nice touch too.

Commonly known as an "N" trap. Not allowed at all, not in the American Legal System, Ask Joe Ferry: N Trapment is not allowed.

If you purchase enough of the wrong parts, you don't need any of the right parts...
