U-shaped bend in pipe so arranged that it always contains sufficient water to seal the air.
A plumbing device preventing sewage odors from entering the house.
is a device that allows condensed steam to be routed to another heater or to the condenser. A trap allows the liquid to be throttled to a lower-pressure region but traps the vapor. The enthalpy of steam remains constant during this throttling process.
A plumbing fitting that holds water to prevent air, gas, and vermin from entering into a building.
The bent section of pipe beneath a bath, sink etc. which contains standing water to prevent an air block.
A U shaped bend in a waste pipe, soil pipe or gulley containing enough water to seal the air downstream of the U, from that above it.
drain consisting of a U-shaped section of drainpipe that holds liquid and so prevents a return flow of sewer gas
to hold fast or prevent from moving; "The child was pinned under the fallen tree"
a bend and dip in the pipe that stays full of water to prevent sewer gases from coming up through the drain and into the house
a bend of pipe that remains filled with water at all times to keep gases from coming up the drain
a contrivance attached to a waste-pipe, intended to be automatically filled with water, so as to prevent the return of odors, vapors, or any injurious matters
a curved section of drain pipe that fills up with water, providing a seal
a curved section of plumbing pipe that seals the pipe to prevent sewer gas from getting into the home
a device or plan that prevents someone or something from moving
a fabricated bend and dip in the pipe that remains permanently full of water to prevent sewer gases from freely invading the interior space
a fitting or device so designed and constructed as to provide, when properly vented, a liquid seal which will prevent the back passage of air without affecting the flow of sewage or waste water through it
a sequence of moves that prevents the opponent from acting
a simple method used to keep sewer gases from emanating out of the drainage system
a small reservoir built into the wastewater piping a short distance from the grease producing area
a thermostatic valve that lets the water out of the pipe, but keeps the steam in
a U-shaped bend in a water conduit, as found on toilets, and wash basin outlets
a U shaped pipe that is located under every sink
A fitting, device, or integral fixture portion so designed and constructed as to provide a liquid seal which will prevent the backpassage of sewer gas without materially affecting the flow of sewage or wastewater through it.
A piece of equipment that removes unwanted water from the steam system; it is NOT to be confused with a sink or sewage trap.
A curved section of drain that holds water, providing a seal that prevents odours from escaping.
A U- or P- shaped bend in a plumbing pipe that prevents sewer gases from entering the house.
U-shaped pipe below plumbing fixtures which provides a water seal to prevent sewer odors and gases from entering habitable areas.
(1) A device used to prevent a material flowing or carried through a conduit from reversing its direction of flow or movement or from passing a given point. (2) A device to prevent the escape of air from sewers through a plumbing fixture or catch basin.
In plumbing, a curved section of drainpipe that fills with water, providing a liquid seal to prevent the emission of sewage gases.
Usually a 4" diameter cast-iron pipe, called the house trap, with a U bend which acts as a seal as water passes through it. It prevents sewer gases from entering into a house.
A water filled "U" shaped pipe which prevents sewer gases from flowing into a building.
A device fitted to the waste pipe of sinks, etc, to stop smells and animals coming from the drain. Works simply by trapping a small amount of water.
A bent section of pipe (below a bath, sink, etc) containing standing water to prevent the passage of gases. U-bend - A waste pipe, or part of one, shaped like a U, used as part of a trap.
Curved section of drain line that prevents sewer odors from escaping into the atmosphere. All fixtures that have drains must have a "P" trap installed. A toilet is the only plumbing fixture with an "S" trap.
The water-filled curved pipe that prevents sewer gas from entering the house through the drainage network.
Curved section of drain line that prevents sewer odors from escaping. All fixtures with drains must have a trap installed (toilets use 'S' traps; all other fixtures use 'P' traps).
In plumbing, a bend in a waste pipe designed to hold water. The water acts as a seal to prevent insects and harmful sewage gases from discharging into plumbing fixtures inside the house.
A plumbing fitting that holds water to prevent air, gas, and vermin from backing up into a fixture
A bend in a water pipe to hold water and prevent gases from escaping into the house.
A BEND IN A WATER PIPE THAT HOLDS WATER SO SEWER GASES CAN'T ESCAPE FROM THE PLUMBING SYSTEM INTO THE HOUSE.
A trap is the "U" or "S" shaped section of drainpipe directly beneath a plumbing fixture such as a sink or shower.
Curved section of a fixture drain line, designed to hold water thus preventing sewer gases from entering the house.
A bend in a water pipe to hold water so gases will not escape from the plumbing system into the house.
Part of the drain system.
A curved section of the drainpipe that fills with water and provides a liquid seal to prevent the emission of sewage gases.
The part of a fixture drain that creates a water seal to prevent sewer gases from penetrating a home's interior. Codes require that all fixtures be trapped. Home Improvement Encyclopedia
A trap is a fitting or device that provides a liquid seal to prevent the emission of sewer gases without materially affecting the flow of sewage or waste water through it.
In plumbing, a trap is a U-, S-, or J-shaped pipe located below or within a plumbing fixture. It is used to prevent sewer gases from entering buildings.
