3. If an open drain source is used to dispose of condensate, plastic or
rubber tubing may be run directly from the pipe fitting to the open
drain source. If closed drain source (internal structural plumbing) is
used, a "P" trap must be between the 5/8" pipe fitting and the
closed drain source (Fig. 22).
