water trap
Curved pipe section
A water trap is a bend in a pipe that holds standing water, creating a seal that prevents sewer gases from rising back through drains.
Every sink, toilet, and floor drain has one—the U-shaped or S-shaped curve visible under a bathroom sink is a water trap.
In golf, a water trap is a pond or stream positioned as a hazard: His ball landed in the water trap on the seventh hole.
