If you put in a separate drain system and terminate it outside the house, above ground you would not need trap primers, (or traps either). ( : I would like to have floor drains in the mechanical room (water heater TPR outlet and water heater maintenance) laundry room (washing machine) and the kitchen below the dishwasher. : If these drains tie into the main DWV systems they would need trap primers - my sense is trap primers are potential sources for problems (all drains are in the concrete slab. My preference is a seperate drain system. Suggestions??? : Thanks, Fred.
