How does that first vent work with the trap of condensate at the bottom?

This is from NJs code which says these are prohibited for the most part.
But I think it's because it's vented like any other trap.

I speak of the 90 ell at the bottom of the riser, won't it fill with water?
Picture before the last one.

Building traps are no longer required I think. Cleanout is good idea but I don't see them often. Usually sanitary drains are too deep to be accessible. I also line fresh air breather but I don't see them either. My opinion is that there can never be enough breathers. Codes require traps for A/C condensate regardless where pan drains to. These traps are troublemakers.

It's a slang term..(Fresh Air Breather) I've never see that written in a Plumbing code. Mad Dog

In NJ code I believe they call them vent terminals.

Vent terminals are T.T.R (Through the Roof). The Vent just upstream of the Bldg house trap is the F.A.I.(Fresh air inlet). Mad Dog
