Default Washer Drain
Drain from a clothes washer, Would anyone consider this an S-trap?

It's a P trap if it meets up with a vent stack in the wall.

Looks kinda funky. Just guessing, but makes me think someone had to retro fit/repair the standpipe or fittings, outside the finished wall cavity. How old do you think the original installation is?

The house all together was kind of funny to tell you the truth, I think the laundry was relocated from the upstairs out to the garage.. That might explain it.

Looks like a normal washer drain pipe to me, exposed in the room rather than in the wall.

Sorry about that. Have had the flu lately and my head must be in the clouds. The post has been moved. Thanks for picking it up quickly.
