Rectorseal83113 EZ 113 Trap, 3/4-Inch

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Easy installation and works just fine. Not much it can do to stand in the w ay of physics if its installed properly.

This is the best condensate P-Trap I've used. There are sealed covers for convenient clean-out, and the trap is clear for easy inspection. It appears to be very well made.The clear tube and other pieces accepted PVC glue well with no leaks.

I saw this when I was looking for traps to replace the clogged trap that was installed correctly but had no access for any type of clean out or maintenance. Consequently I'd been using a 5 gallon bucket to catch the condensation until I got everything I needed to replace it. Not something I would recommend but it worked in a pinch and it gave me a new appreciation for how much moisture the air handler or the condenser or whatever takes out of the air every 24 hours. It's been very humid here the last few days and I'd been emptying the bucket once a day with about three or four gallons of water in it. Anyway, this Rectorseal trap was just what I needed as I had to retrofit it in between the two lines. It's adjustable of course until you permanently glue it in place so it was very easy to fit to both sides that were stationary. Of course I have some plumbing experience but even if you don't if you take your time it's easy to fit and the added plus is you have the many different cleanouts. If you look in the photo you can see that I've added two rubbers slip joints that can also be removed so the entire assembly can come out for future cleaning. I've decided that the best bet is to do maintenance on it once a year and make sure the lines are clear so that condensation can flow out. If you forget about it it will build up and eventually start to form clogs which will make the condensation back up and you'll have quite a mess. This seems to be working quite well so far after a day or two with no leaks and a good water flow out of the house. I definitely recommend this particular trap if you want a way to clean out and maintain your condensation line.

It's a very dependable leak free P-trap you have to take and put PVC glue A B and C like the instructions say and your air conditioner line will not leak and it will not leak I love this thing beautiful beautiful product!!

Worked really well, I did have to put it on an angle to work.

I've had the AC technicians to my house so many times to figure out why the AC water drain was backing up. They'd tell me the plumbing didn't have enough of a gradient to it and that was they problem. So I had the plumbing redone. It still didn't stop the AC water overflows, which result in the AC shutting off. After opening the pipes myself I realized there was a very strong suction back towards the AC unit. This was strong enough to suck the water back into the unit that should have been draining. (To be fair, that might have not happened with a steeper slope on the drain pipes.) They might have been partial right, but after some research I found out about this device. The U shape filled with water is enough to stop the suction from pulling water back into the AC unit. The full water in the U curve stops the air inflow. Then as water trickles in gravity takes over and it drips out the drain pipe.Ingenious device. Easy to install. I can't believe professional AC technicians from 2 different companies didn't know to put one of these in. They sell a version of these at hardware stores, but this one is much better. Easier to work with. The fact that it is clear and has valves you can open means you can see if it is clogging up and easily open it for cleaning. Get this one. I don't think I'll have to touch the AC unit again.

Works great. My condensate line is going down a vent. It was sucking up a dingy smell every so often. This Ptrap took care of the problem

a great product—easy to install, solid build, and most importantly, no leaks. It fits perfectly on a 3/4-inch condensate line and does exactly what it’s supposed to. The clear design also makes it easy to check for clogs or buildup.Definitely worth the money for a reliable and maintenance-friendly trap.
