A priming-water conduit from a sink water faucet unit to a floor drain p-trap is located between the faucet valve and the faucet water-outlet. The faucet valve controls water flow into said conduit, and, therefore, into said p-trap, without any other valve or control system. The priming-water conduit may be attached, and in fluid communication with, various structures of the faucet that are downstream of the faucet valve(s), such as: the mixing chamber of a mixing faucet; the water line from the mixing chamber to the faucet outlet/nozzle; or any water-containing structure that is downstream of the faucet valve. Each time the faucet is turned on, by means of the manual faucet valve, a portion of the water passing from the valve to the mixing chamber and/or by other routes to the faucet outlet/nozzle, will flow into the priming-water conduit and to the p-trap.
A trap-priming system utilizing water from a sink water faucet to automatically prime a floor drain p-trap when the water faucet is turned on, the system comprising:
