... why a sink trap will last for years and years in a wet environment, but if you 'winterize' a house and shut off the water; then the trap will rust out in just a couple of months in a dry environment.


No, I don't wonder, I know why.

Even thinking, gets me in trouble.

You mean people are still using metal?????? That corrodes. What next? Still using lead water pipes.

Well, they still sell metal traps, waste pipes, etc., so somebody must like them.

To me, they look less cheap than plastic, even though I'm aware of the problems w/corrosion.
