Installing some new floor drains and expecting a trap primer will be required by code. There is a lav near one, and slop sink near the other. I was thinking it would be better to use an ASSE 1044 tail piece on the sink drains to prime the floor traps, and this is accepted by code. That would avoid the need for primer valves on the potable supply, and save water too. But could there be an issue with clogging, especially on the slop sink? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: Based on the first reply, I think my question may be unclear. I'm evaluating whether it might be a good idea to use a gravity trap primer from the lav or slop instead of a primer valve off the potable supply, and both are approved here and would be plumbed into the drain as per code.
