HJ, True.

The thing that makes a trap a "P" trap is its shape not its function. : : To add to HJ's, a P trap (that doesn't leak or dry out) maintains a water seal that prevents sewer gases (and even insects - large American cockroaches) from entering the house via the sewer system. : : : What is a pea trap?
