Install an automatic air vent on the line
An S trap is a length of water plumbing pipe used under sinks. The pipe is shaped like an S and prevents the pipe from becoming air locked. An air locked pipe cannot drain.
If you are talking about a roof water drain pipe to sewer it is illegal. If you are talking about a sink drain pipe well that is where they all connect to so yea.
When you cool hot air, water condenses out of it. This water should be piped to the outside of the air conditioner unit and drained away outside. It is possible that the drain pipe is blocked.
It has to drain the condensate buildup somewhere... Some drain directly into the homes plumbing and only drain outside the home when the inside line has plugged up, like an overflow pipe.
The evaporator coil is very cold, which causes water to condense on it's surface, like how water condenses on a cold soda can. The water runs to a drain pan at the bottom of the coil and then flows outside your home via a drain pipe. If water is leaking around your furnace, you very likely have a clogged drain pipe or cracked drain pan and should have it fixed immediately. However, if you have a heat pump and you see water around the outdoor unit during the winter, this is normal.
During prper winterization, the water in the bottom drain is usually "blown" out with compressed air. How this happens, is that a pipe with a schrader valve (the same type of valve on a ture intertube) is inserted into a pipe that is threaded into the pipe below the skimmer (with the leaf basket removed) An air compressor is then used to fill the tube with air. The air forces the water out of the entire pipe. Bubbles will come up from the drain when all of the water has been blown out of the pipe. The pressure of the air being in the pipe keeps the water from flowing back into the pipe. Hope this answers your question.
Foul Air
That drain pipe is meant to remove condensed water from the chmber where the air is blown through the system, if there is air coming through there it just means there is no water in the line that has condensed. many units turn the drain tube upward slightly so a little water always stays in the pipe pereventing the escape of cold air. It works like a P trap on your sink.
Please re post your question. What air pipe,are you talking about the breather vent inside the wall. If you are talking about the breather vent,it is not getting sucked up it is from water being backed up in your drain,and the water can not drain quickly enough, the drain needs to be cleaned.

Yes, it is normal for an exterior AC drain pipe to drip water as it is a sign that the air conditioning unit is functioning properly and removing excess moisture from the system.

The purpose of the AC water drain pipe is to remove excess water that is produced during the air conditioning process. This helps in maintaining the efficiency of the air conditioning system by preventing water buildup, which can lead to mold growth, blockages, and reduced cooling capacity.
A tub drain works by allowing water to flow out of the tub through a pipe connected to a drain opening. The key components involved in its operation include the drain stopper, drain flange, drain pipe, trap, and vent. The drain stopper controls the flow of water, the drain flange secures the drain in place, the drain pipe carries water away, the trap prevents sewer gases from entering the tub, and the vent allows air to enter the drain system for proper drainage.
A condensate drain pipe is used in conjunction with air conditioning equipment. Usually installed with heat pumps, this drain pipe gives condensation a place to run off.
To properly vent a shower drain, you should ensure that the drain pipe is properly sloped, install a vent pipe that connects to the drain pipe, and make sure the vent pipe extends through the roof. This will prevent air pressure buildup, allowing water to flow efficiently and prevent potential drainage issues.
A drain works by allowing water to flow through a pipe and away from a sink or other fixture. The key components involved in its operation include the drain pipe, trap, and vent. The drain pipe carries the water away, the trap prevents sewer gases from entering the room, and the vent allows air to enter the system to facilitate drainage.
