Oops, did I say that out loud?
If it self-siphons a lot, I'd turn down the pressure on the sink supply lines at the cutoffs, so there isn't enough water flow to self-siphon it.
It ain't the right way to do it, but sometimes you're best off just making do...
That makes a lot of sense.GrumpyPlumber said:
The biggest problem is suction when the toilet flushes...once a little flow is intiated from that..siphonage takes over..
As for your disregard for code, you will be punished in the afterlife...40 lashes with a wet noodle.

Just sayin' - I've seen more than a few old houses with S-traps. Even though they aren't supposed to work, sometimes they do. Maybe because there's enough air getting into the system elsewhere? I don't know; but I have seen them work okay.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Especially if it's a nightmare to revent... (and it sounds like it).
Cool trick with the AAV, Genie; I never would have thought of that... but then I've never seen an actual AAV, only heard of them & seen pics.
I guess NYC must be one of the places that doesn't allow them.

How could you change the S/trap to a P/trap with a AAV unless you break the wall?
This is awkward, but...
