Drainage, Waste & Vent第 8 / 120 题
Which trap arrangement is expressly prohibited because it will siphon its own seal?
a.An S-trap
b.A P-trap vented within the permitted trap arm length
c.A drum trap serving a specialty fixture where approved
d.A deep seal trap on a floor drain
解析
An S-trap discharges vertically downward with no vent break, so the falling column of water pulls the seal out of the trap and is prohibited. A properly vented P-trap is the standard approved arrangement, and drum traps and deep seal traps remain permitted in specific approved applications.
