Whats the benefit of the loop vent? You need to connect it to a proper vent anyways, why not just put a p trap in? A lot less plumbing and headache imo
This is a great video!!!! Thank you for putting content that actually informs us with real information.
What I learned is all 3 ways suck and someone should invent a better one.
I was searching how to draw rivers on digital, I have no idea how did i ended Up here. But this is really cool
Im not a plumber and Im not into plumbing but this is great information. Thank you.
Once I was sitting on the toilet during a lightning storm. Lightning struck the roof vent a flash and sparks came out of the sink faucet. Literally scared the shit out of me. Good thing I wasn't touching the faucet.
Ok sure
how can a sink drain serve as a vent if it has a p trap with water in it? Im guessing there is a vent somewhere after the p trap on the sink?
I feel like all positive comments were submitted by plumbers.
Great lesson
Is this really a problem? During siphoning the water (and the air) goes in the direction of the sewer system. When the siphoning stops there is (just) enough water to fill the trap so no smell can go up the sink. If there is a problem with a smell than it is maybe caused by not using it for some time and therefor the trap dried out (and this goes for P and S-trap).
And wouldn't the s trap vent the same way once it goes threw the trap and into the pipe running along the bottom of the house
What about when the s pipe is vented in the wall. Down the wall along the craw space and up a vent pipe that goes up the wall and out the roof.
and Hydrogen Sulfide among other gasses
my whole apartment is non-vented s-traps..
wtf.
fkn landlords.
What is a chwap
LOL. That's why according to EU standards every drain system in a building has to have a ventilation on top of it. If there is absolutely no other way, we install devises like shown at 4:23 . If the system is sealed, one flush of a toilet with enough water flow will suck water out of anywhere regardless of a shape of a trap. Especially if the pipe is 32mm in diameter.
Theoretically you also suppose to have constant problem with water going away.
In 20 years of my career as a plumbing engineer we never had a single thought of which trap works better, but rather which one fits, since the solution is just naturally always there.
Fuckkkk bro another thing to take into account in my house blueprints
This is one of the small benefits of living in the middle of nowhere.
Every lavatory I've ever seen has an S-trap, yet, despite the very rapid flow rate, never siphons all the water out of the bottom section, nor does it siphon all the water out of S-trap on the adjacent sink. In all the places I've lived, the only things fitted with a P-trap have been showers, where there isn't enough depth below the shower tray for a S-trap – and I've never had a problem with sewer gases coming up the pipe.
I don't green disgusting sewer connected fixure like water toilet sink should etc
I made it too few weeks ago. Want to know how ? just look for Woodglut.
You kinda sound like Forest Gump bro lol.
In the Uk Mc Alpine make traps built in with a vent.
Can you make a video of why not to double traps
Okaaay, but weren't s-traps supposed to be vented anyway?
Thankyou for the useful info.
I don't live in the USA, & my local council, allows the vented P fittings, as well as vented s traps – which I know as 'ojee' bends.
The arrangement on the plumbing is barely legal, as the tail pipe, has minimal slope. As a result, soidum hydroxide grains are used regularly to clear my outlet pipe, & the bigger one it runs into – hearing the roar of the sodium hydroxide, helped along with boiling water, is quite satisfying, and I suspect may unnerve, the lower down neighbours.
The plumber had to be called once, & his rotorouter, couldn't reach the end of that drain – sulphuric acid, was used to clean the pipes then ; never saw so much muck, come out the kitchens pipes.
Thankfully, it's the only problem pipe.
