Plumbing Trap Assembly

Abstract

A plumbing trap assembly for plumbing a condensation drain line into a sewer line includes a P-trap that is plumbed into a drain line of a sink. The P-trap has an inlet, an outlet and a lower bend that is positioned between the inlet and the outlet. The inlet is fluidly coupled to a drain of the sink and the outlet is fluidly coupled to a sewer line servicing the sink such that the lower bend forms a trap for sewer gasses. A condensation inlet is integrated into the P-trap thereby facilitating the condensation inlet to be fluidly coupled to a condensation drain line of an air conditioning unit. In this way condensation from the air conditioning unit can be drained into the sewer line which services the sink.

1 . A plumbing trap assembly for facilitating a condensation line of an air conditioning unit to be plumbed into a drain line of a sink, said assembly comprising:
 a P-trap being plumbed into a drain line of a sink, said P-trap having an inlet, an outlet and a lower bend positioned between said inlet and said outlet, said inlet being fluidly coupled to a drain of the sink, said outlet being fluidly coupled to a sewer line servicing the sink such that said lower bend forms a trap for sewer gasses, said P-trap having a condensation inlet said condensation inlet being an integral extension from an inlet leg of said P-trap thereby facilitating said condensation inlet to be fluidly coupled to a condensation drain line of an air conditioning unit for draining condensation from the air conditioning unit into the sewer line which services the sink; and   said condensation inlet having a distal end with respect to said inlet leg, said condensation inlet being curved between said inlet and said distal end wherein said distal end is oriented perpendicular to said inlet of said P-trap such that said condensation inlet approximately defines a quadrant of a circle thereby facilitating the condensation from the air conditioning unit to flow into said P-trap with minimal friction wherein said condensation inlet is configured to inhibit the condensation from the air conditioning unit from forming a clog in said condensation inlet.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 said P-trap has said inlet leg and an outlet leg, said inlet being associated with said inlet leg, said outlet being associated with said outlet leg, said lower bend extending between said inlet leg and said outlet leg such that said input leg is oriented parallel to said outlet leg, said P-trap has an upper bend being integrated into said outlet leg such that said outlet is directed away from said input leg, said upper bend being positioned between said lower bend and said outlet such that said outlet is positioned below said inlet when said P-trap is installed; and   said condensation inlet is positioned between said inlet and said lower bend wherein said condensation inlet is configured to inhibit sewer gasses from passing through said condensation inlet.   
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said condensation inlet is positioned on said inlet leg. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein said condensation inlet is positioned closer to said inlet than said lower bend such that said P-trap inhibits sewer gasses from passing through said condensation inlet. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein said condensation inlet being positioned above said outlet when said P-trap is installed. 
     
     
         6 . A plumbing trap assembly for facilitating a condensation line of an air conditioning unit to be plumbed into a drain line of a sink, said assembly comprising:
 a P-trap being plumbed into a drain line of a sink, said P-trap having an inlet, an outlet and a lower bend positioned between said inlet and said outlet, said inlet being fluidly coupled to a drain of the sink, said outlet being fluidly coupled to a sewer line which services the sink such that said lower bend forms a trap for sewer gasses, said P-trap having an inlet leg and an outlet leg, said inlet being associated with said inlet leg, said outlet being associated with said outlet leg, said lower bend extending between said inlet leg and said outlet leg such that said input leg is oriented parallel to said outlet leg, said P-trap having an upper bend being integrated into said outlet leg such that said outlet is directed away from said input leg, said upper bend being positioned between said lower bend and said outlet such that said outlet is positioned below said inlet when said P-trap is installed, said P-trap having a condensation inlet said condensation inlet being an integral extension from said inlet leg of said P-trap thereby facilitating said condensation inlet to be fluidly coupled to a condensation drain line of an air conditioning unit for draining condensation from the air conditioning unit into the sewer line servicing the sink, said condensation inlet being positioned between said inlet and said lower bend wherein said condensation inlet is configured to inhibit sewer gasses from passing through said condensation inlet, said condensation inlet being positioned on said inlet leg, said condensation inlet having a distal end with respect to said inlet leg, said condensation inlet being curved between said inlet and said distal end wherein said distal end is oriented perpendicular to said inlet of said P-trap such that said condensation inlet approximately defines a quadrant of a circle thereby facilitating the condensation from the air conditioning unit to flow into said P-trap with minimal friction wherein said condensation inlet is configured to inhibit the condensation from the air conditioning unit from forming a clog in said condensation inlet, said condensation inlet being positioned closer to said inlet than said lower bend such that said P-trap inhibits sewer gasses from passing through said condensation inlet, said condensation inlet being positioned above said outlet when said P-trap is installed.
