A U-trap and a P-trap are both types of traps used in Plumbing systems to prevent sewer gases from entering a building. The main difference between them is their shape: a U-trap has a U-shaped bend, while a P-trap has a P-shaped bend. Both traps serve the same purpose, but the shape of the trap can affect how effectively it prevents odors from escaping.

What is a ptrap?

The shape of the drain. A P trap drains out the wall. It looks like a P laid on it's side. An S trap drains in the floor. Again if you laid the S on it's side.


Dropped watch down drain bathroom sink turned off the water removed the ptrap retrieved my watch replaced the p-trap turned the water back on. Now there is no water coming out except a drip...?

Probably rust and minerals that came loose when you turned the water off and plugged the screen in the spout. Unscrew the screen the the end of the spout and see if that doesn't fix it.
