The issue I see with your secondary drain P trap and negative pressure scenario is the trap will never get primed, and even if it does get primed manually it will evaporate. So essentially, you’ll just be venting through the secondary drain. What am I missing?
@mptr17838 ай бұрын
As long as the main drain isnt working, yes, you'll be pulling air from the secondary pipe, which is fine. If the main drain clogs and water rises in the pan to where it needs to drain out of the secondary pipe, water will then fill the P-pipe.

At 4:17 you noted that in a positive pressure system, if air is coming out the secondary, it prevents water from drainingout the primary. I have experienced this (resulted in water coming out the secondary while the primary wasn't clogged, and filling the emergency pan), but can anyone explain why this is the case? Putting a vent before the trap, exactly as shown in the video, fixes it. I'd just like to understand why this happens if anyone knows.

Oh ,mine doesn't drain outside it drips onto the laundry room floor where there is no floor drain. Thus the "leak" that my landlord discovered a few days before I was scheduled to move in. A neighbor said that there is a floor drain in the laundry room so I am assuming when the linoleum was replaced it was laid over the floor drain, beacause its not there. Sure would be a shame if this new carpet and floor boards and linoleum and sheet rock (assuming it was replaced from the water line) all had to be replaced again because the maintenance supervisor is lazy. I've had a cookie sheet under it since I noticed the drip. Can't use the A/C because it fills everytime It shuts off so I'm afraid it will overflow. So now I will have to notify the landlord of the leak, the disruption, walking on my carpet with dirty shoes, having to move my washer and dryer and dining room table, tearing up the linoleum. Or i'm thinking I could run some same diameter plastic tubing from the elbow to the washer hose drain thats uphill so that is no good. I Could pull out the washer find the indention from the floor drain and cut the linoleum out would still have to run something from the pipe to the drain cut a hole in the drain trap so water doesn't go under the linoleum Pour gallons of water down the drain to make sure its not clogged. Wiggle the washer back into place The pipe sticks out of a hole in the wall about 5 inches theres a elbow on the end that sits about 2 inches above the floor. There is plaster all around the pipe where it comes through the wall. There is no chance of rotating it. I don't know lol. Just venting.

I used a dremel tool to file down the little nub that makes it hard to open the grills. Not filed down all the way, just enough that I can pull it open without prying with a screwdriver. BTW a tech gave me a good quick-clean tip for the blower wheel - use a cheap 2" paintbrush, swipe it back and forth inside the vanes. This knocks off the dustballs. Buy a box of them on Amazon and throw away after use. If it's really dirty you might need to use 2 or more. Wear a dust mask and goggles. Yeah you can wet clean it, but more hassle and time. I'm thinking about using an air purifier to collect the dust in the air, hopefully will cut down on the gunk that gets stuck to the wheel.

What pressures is the PVC experiencing? You think the pvc will blow apart with the trickle of water going down? What's the point of the J trap even? Told hold back odors, meanwhile you have open PVC connected out to the sewage. If there is a clog, then what? You insert a tool and it pops out the other end, as opposed to going down towards the sewer, towards the clog. Just ass-backwards. And I've only done this for two months. You need to set the T out of your air handler with the middle port connected. The top of the T is then capped. You run a P-trap, J-trap, whatever, down the T. So now the "Vent" can be used properly. AS A CLEANOUT. WTF this guy's theory of pressures in the PVC is so dumb.
