That or a U bend. Its a balance between stopping the odors of the foul drain coming back up the disposal whilst maintaining a good macerator outflow. The disposal manufacturer instructions will normally name the preferred device. I chose to use a wide bottle trap. A bit more expensive but the maintenance is so easy.
P-trap may be cracked, nuts are loose on p-trap, or check for leak above p-trap that may be dripping down on p-trap.
Who invented the p trap
No, a toilet does not require a P-trap because it has a built-in trap within its design, which helps prevent sewer gases from entering the home. The toilet's trap is specifically shaped to retain a small amount of water, creating a seal. However, additional drainage systems in the home, like sinks or bathtubs, do need P-traps.
Its called a P trap because if you stand the trap up and looked at it, its in the shape of the letter P
A J trap is normally tubular and a P trap is brass and does not swivel
Your kitchen sink should already be vented if there is a p-trap draining to the wall. if it is an s-trap it is not vented and not to present code requirements. The dishwasher drain goes into the side of the disposal and the disposal should drain to the trap. A separate vent is not required for the disposal or dishwasher as the trap for the sink is what requires a vent.

S Traps is garbage as it can self syphon P traps are legal
Of course
Yes. It prevents sewer gases from entering by way of the water trapped at the elbow. Gases need an upflow which is eliminated by the P-Trap. It's not a pee trap, it's a p-trap. Yes you do need a p-trap. The p-trap holds some water in the trap to hold back the sewage gas from coming up through the sink. IN ADDITION: A P-trap can be used to unblock or unclog small blockages either in the drain pipe exiting the trap or the trap itself, because it holds water, by covering the plug, it works the same way as a plunger does and by squeezing it continuously it forms a suction drawing or pushing blockages, freeing them and pushing them further down the line until it is clear. It is useful to know when a plunger is not at hand.
Check and see if the water line going from the dishwasher to the disposal has enough slack to run up and over the connection to the disposal.If its just running along the cabinet floor and straight up into the disposal that's the problem.Its called an anti siphon loop
To convert an S trap to a P trap, you will need to remove the existing S trap and install a new P trap in its place. This involves disconnecting the existing plumbing, removing the S trap, and installing the P trap according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is recommended to consult a professional plumber for this task to ensure proper installation and prevent any potential issues.
The disposal is forcing the water out. It seems your down drain must be further away than the 2nd sink and the water is taking the path of least resistance to go somewhere fast. tthere is an inlet on the side of your disposal for a dishwasher hook up. Ceck that if there is no dishwasher hookup going into your disposal you need to plug that hole. == Answer== It could be someone did not use a baffle tee. It is always best to plumb disposal into p-trap first and use waste arm to connect basket strainer. They may have it the other way with no baffle.

Common causes of a clogged P-trap drain in a sink include accumulation of debris such as food particles, grease, hair, and soap scum, as well as mineral buildup from hard water. These substances can block the flow of water through the P-trap, leading to a clog. Regular maintenance and proper disposal of waste can help prevent this issue.
