Got word back from the local inspector saying what I have proposed is ok - so that answers that. The blue Pex is indeed there as a trap primer for the floor drain. The inspector's approval was contingent on me supplying both traps (floor and condensate) with the trap primer - you called it...

Thanks for the reply tuttles. I agree that a vent is a vent....unless it's a wet vent. Seems like this would be similar to that allowed by UPC 814.6. Any thoughts on this? ---------------- Where the condensate waste from air-conditioning coils discharges by direct connection to a...
