Thumbs down Trap Primer required? I didn't think so...

Just got required by a bellevue, wa inspector to add a trap seal primer to a condensate waste receptor...has anyone else run into this? I thought that the condensate maintains the trap seal just fine... any thoughts?

Code reference 1007.1

Note 'automatic means'

This might be what he is talking about, being here in Oregon, our codes are about the same, look it up.

Looks like ya might have to pucker up and kiss the inspector's rear end.

There is nothing wrong in asking your inspector for the code reference he is referring to.

Yeah, I learned about the Inspector Pucker early on in my apprenticeship...and yes, it condenses year round, maybe not as much in the summer, but enough to beat evaporation
