Nice looking work, Bill

You talking about me with the s trap?

I was kinda worried about the cold stop myself. something doesn't look right with it.

According to the National Standard Plumbing code, if the tailpiece is 2 times the diamater of the trap size, in length, it is not an s trap.

If the vertical riser is one pipe size oversized, and within 5' of a ventilated line, and a water closet is not flushing past it, it is acceptable.

We do it all the time.

The 2" vertical pipe is only 1 pipe size larger than the tailpiece, therefore should have been 3". Withe the plug in the top of the tee, and using 3" it is per Fla. code. Or you could put a studor vent on top of the 2" tee but the studor has to be a minimum of 4" above the trap, and that is per manufactuers ( whats the word, recommendations? )
Here our inspectors believe in manufacturers specs or recommendations and they inforce it

I used to use them on PB repairs under mobile homes or when we would complete a re-pipe in sections, I've used qest for temporary connections before shark bites came out. My former neighbor fixed a slab leak in his laundry room with two of them and some pex.

We can't do 3" island drains with just a c/o on top anymore. They have to be studored.

Wisconsin - no s-trap period. A studor would correct it
