Now taking Nominations for Best Defect Pictures for July

Thanks Buck, looks like one failed already. :wink:

I will be running a poll this weekend, so submit your best defect. :slight_smile:

Here you go Marcel,

A new kind of trap. Introducing the “O” trap.

Only 2 leaks, but really how many hose bibs do really need? :shock:

Wow, you guys are coming up with some pretty cool originals.

Kevin, was that a lead pipe to boot?

:slight_smile:

It was Marcel, but being a drain pipe I didn’t have a problem with it being lead, but ya gotta love the “craftsmanship”. :wink:

Thanks Kevin. I thought so. I have done repairs and remodels in old buildings before the ditgital cameras came out. Saw some similar configurations with lead piping.

So in the spirit of an intelligent discussion, does everyone agree this would be a defect?

Will the weir be maintained to prevent sewer gas?

Is there a chance of siphon?

This is just to promote discussion Kevin, it will be included. :slight_smile:

I called it out as an improper P trap, so my answer is yes the water seal could be siphoned out.

Good for discussion though Marcel.

Unless it turns to crap like everything else around this board lately. :slight_smile:

For a second there I though you were talking about the pipe. :smiley:

Pun intended. :mrgreen::wink:
