It's a wet vent plumbing stack. It is not legal but works. With all that water in the "sag trap" one does not have to worry about it drying up in the winter and sucking in methane gases from the plumbing stack. Is that copper pipe? Would not last long around here.
Attachment 318661Attachment 318671 I didn't want you to be alone. Our service manager extrodenair was also a drainage engineer when he was in the field. It is hard to tell wire from pipe but the pipe is 3/4" PVC ran over 80' with about eight supports. The pipe is for the split and of course it's overflow pan since it is all over cubicles...ya know you wouldn't want a leak or anything.

Even though it looks like crap, and against code, the end of the drain is lower than the units, so technically you have a trap! At least from the camera angle it looks that way.
Cheap boss didn't want to pay for extra pvc pipe.
nice

this is the kind of "work" my competitor did , it finally caught up to him and he got run out of the area...sad part he was a licenced contractor... as a side note, he lost or gave up his licence and joined a pipe fitters union and now just installes line sets..

why not just run the drain over to the gutter? Somewhere in that building a sink is not draining properly. They'll call a plumber and he'll find that crap drain line and then it will be draining onto the roof.
That is a F up code that the drain can't be on a roof. What about rain? Those drains are so bad he is lucky the RTU didn't flood and have water damage in the office below. I have seen a RTU running while they where sanding drywall block up the filter and freeze up the RTU and run all Weekend and flood inside the office and cause 10,000$ in damage. So is that a Real code that it can not be on the roof ?

Haha, I'm loving all these trap pics. Keep them coming guys!
one of them high capacity "P" traps.
The installation instructions call for a field installed trap, I don't see the problem here....
