I recently received a code violation from a plumbing inspector in a rental home owned by our family, the nature of the violation was due to the furnace's A coil drain line being directly connected in a straight line to the house's drain stack. Originally the inspector stated that I needed to move the line to a floor drain across the room but when I told him that I'd prefer to not do that since the floor drain in this area frequently backs up and I'd prefer to keep the floor drain closed he stated that I could just install a trap in the existing line to prevent the sewer gas from entering the house. That sounded easy enough to me since I'm fairly good at sweating pipe so I figured I could just go and buy a 3/4" copper trap or something like that but after looking around I cannot find such a thing and I'm assuming the answer doesn't involve 4 elbows but I could be wrong!
Included below is a picture of the line in question... basically there is this small section of pvc that is connected to the copper which is about 3 feet long which connects to the drain stack. I haven't begun looking around for a pvc part yet because if it exists I'd prefer to do it in copper but at this point I'd just like to find the appropriate, readily available part to accomplish the job.
Thanks in an advance for any assistance you can provide!
