    Hi Pankerwood...

    Charlotte foundries makes an IMPROVED RUNNING TRAP WITH DOUBLE CLEANOUT AND TEE BRANCH... requires leading tools and skill with pouring/caulking lead joints.

    Check them out at:

    http://www.charlottepipe.com/Documen...ttings_Eng.pdf

    Check out page #17 and page #51

    They also make a RUNNING TRAP WITH DOUBLE HUB VENT... requires leading tools and skill with pouring/caulking lead joints. Here, you would need to connect two end cleanouts intio the hubs to make this a workable house trap.

    They also make a NO HUB RUNNING TRAP WITH DOUBLE VENT. Here, you use clamps instead of working with the lead tools, etc. You would need to connect two end cleanouts to make this a workable house trap.

    Finally, you could also make a house trap out of cast iron no hub elbows, sanitary TY fittings, and end cleanouts and clamps... all depends on exactly what you want.

    If you go to any PLUMBING SUPPLY COMPANY and ask to see the charlotte cast iron catalog they should be able to help you pick the best trap for your job. Have them do a quick price comparison for you to make it up using fittings they have in stock... ;)

    Let us know if you want to discuss more... O.K.?
