How Do P-Traps Work? | Spec. Sense

How does a P-trap work? In this episode of Spec. Sense, Vance explains how a P-trap uses water to seal the drain and keep sewer gases from leaking into your home. You'll also learn why airflow is important and why S-traps are no longer installed in homes. If your drain smells bad, then its possible that the trap seal is gone.

it took hours from some teachers to explain this to us and they failed and you made it with a 2.2 mins video, what a legend ♥

[outzeal]

Straight, to the point and excellent presentation as compared to many other videos on various topics where 1 min part that all you are interested is buried in 10 mins of extra details.

[larrylewis]

Thank you for making this explanation plain and simple for us newbies. Great job!

[eemage]

If only all teaching were like this, thank you so much.

[karenjackson]

Wow, in two minutes you just solved an ongoing battle I've been having with my sink. Thank you!

[WattWireNet]

Very well done and a great explanation that was efficient and not too wordy. Also, excellent job on graphics which were essential.

[fredcentric]

the person who wrote this script, and the one suggesting the graphics (if not the same person) should get the YOUTUBE REAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR AWARD. Except one does not exist, since well over 90% of youtube uploads are now about marketing rather than teaching and sharing. THANK YOU

When the narrator appeared at the end of the video, he looked *exactly* as I expected.

Been wondering why there's a smell coming from the sink and then it's not there other times. This was informative, short and straightforward.
