Two pipe or one pipe?
One pipe is vents, two pipe is usually traps..............usually.
But it depends on what type of system it is and how it's piped
There is a two pipe air vent system for instance
And depending on the system and how it's piped you could have a trap on a one pipe system especially with a condensate pump
And you could have part of a two pipe system that needs air vents if the returns drop into a wet return.
There are a lot of usuals but no hard and fast rules0 -
