    "weir must not be above trap opening"

    I've read quite a few posts and the rule that I am having the most difficulty adhering to is the: "weir must not be above the trap opening" of course, I will adhere to it but it is a pain. I am in Ontario so, assume international plumbing code (until I find out otherwise) --- Now, is...
