A running trap sits in a horizontal drain line instead of under a fixture. Here is the Urbandale guide.
The design
The trap is installed in the line itself, often in older homes or commercial drains.
The problem
Running traps are hard to snake and no longer meet most codes.
The replacement
A modern layout removes the running trap and vents the fixtures individually.
The call
Modernize the old line. Call 888-217-3585 and Urbandale Plumber Connect will match you with an Urbandale pro.
