A trap primer is a plumbing device or valve that adds water to traps. The water seals in traps are needed to prevent sewer gases from entering buildings, but because this water is exposed to the air, it is subject to evaporation over time in infrequently used floor drains, leading to the release of sewer gas into the environment; the trap primer mitigates this problem by injecting water, either directly or indirectly, into the trap to maintain the water seal indefinitely. Building codes may require trap primers for traps in certain locations or situations those in which industry experience has shown that they are to dry out; the most common requirement is for basement floor drains, which are only used when the basement floods. Sometimes they are installed in locations where the plumbing code does not require a primer because of a high probability of the trap drying out, but because of a nearby ignition source and the explosion hazard in the event that the trap did leak sewer gas. Most designs require installation in an accessible location where periodic maintenance can be performed.

There are many types of trap primers. The simplest for a floor drain's trap, is a connection from a nearby sink's drain so that when the sink is used, some of the water flow is diverted into one or more traps. More common is a primer, connected to the potable water supply and activates when pressure fluctuations are sensed, such as the flushing of a nearby water closet. Others depend on occupancy timers. Several manufacturers produce laundry faucets with a built-in trap seal primer outlet. In infrequently used floor drains where such a primer does not exist, evaporation can be mitigated a few different ways: Routinely adding water to the floor drain Pouring a small amount of vegetable or mineral oil into the drain to just cover the trap's water surface; the oil creates a liquid seal preventing further evaporation. Mineral oil tends to be a better option, as it does not go rancid. Any environmental impact from its discharge is negligible compared to the contents that can be flushed out of a flooded basement.

Using a propylene glycol solution instead of water in a trap. Raising the boiling point of a solution is equivalent to reducing its vapor pressure, its evaporation rate; this protects the trap against freeze damage. The glycol attracts water, so maintains a minimum concentration which depends on the humidity or water vapor pressure in the air. Unlike ethylene glycol, common automotive antifreeze, propylene glycol is non-toxic; the evaporation rate of a liquid is directly proportional to its vapor pressure. At 25 °C the vapor pressures for water, pure propylene glycol and pure mineral oil are, consecutively, 24 torr, 0.1 torr and <0.01 torr. Be aware though that the properties of "RV antifreeze" which has propylene glycol in it will be different than pure propylene glycol because alcohol and other ingredients are in it. One manufacturer of RV Antifreeze gives the vapor pressure of their product as 17 torr at 20 °C; this material, if placed in a drain, will evaporate as fast as water. Some makers of RV Antifreeze will list the vapor pressure of their product as < 0.1 torr.

This however is only for the propylene glycol component, not the mixture that comprises their product which can be water. Check valves designed. Poor plumbing vent design or extra windy conditions affecting vent pipes can cause water seals to be siphoned or blown out of traps. Piping and plumbing fittings Plumbing drainage venting

"Meadow" is a song by American rock band Stone Temple Pilots. It is their debut single off their eponymous seventh studio album; the song is the first released by the band to feature new singer Jeff Gutt after the departure and deaths of prior vocalists Scott Weiland and Chester Bennington. It peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in 2018. "Meadow" is the first Stone Temple Pilots song to feature new singer Jeff Gutt, chosen by the band out of 15,000 applicants after the year spanning search for a new singer after the departures and deaths of prior vocalists Scott Weiland and Chester Bennington. The song was debuted live, at Gutt's first concert with the band, on November 14, 2017, at a private, invite-only show, with the studio recording of the song being released the following day; the song is the lead single from the band's upcoming seventh studio album, scheduled for release in the first half of 2018. A lyric video was released a month on December 15, 2017; the song's instrumental track was written by the band's remaining original members - guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo, drummer Eric Kretz - prior to Gutt's audition for the band in September 2016.

The song was presented to Gutt as part of the auditioning process. Gutt was able to come up with the vocal melody on the spot, was able to write the songs down the road. Gutt's ability to write the lyrics and melody of the song, alongside a few other songs, is what made the band decide that he should be the new lead singer. Gutt's vocals are described as having a deep, nasal-toned quality to them, sounding similar to Weiland without sounding like an exact clone. Rolling Stone described the track as a "churning hard rocker. Kretz stated that the band aimed to capture a more modern take on Stone Temple Pilots music while retaining the elements of their prior work at the same time.

Raimondo Montecuccoli was a Condottieri-class light cruiser serving with the Italian Regia Marina during World War II. She survived the war and served in the post-war Marina Militare until 1964. Raimondo Montecuccoli, which gives the name to its own sub-class, was part of the third group of Condottieri-class light cruisers, they were better protected than their predecessors. She was built by Ansaldo and was named after Raimondo Montecuccoli, a 17th-century Italian general in Austrian service. Raimondo Montecuccoli entered service in 1935 and was sent out to the Far East in 1937 to protect Italian interests in China during the Second Sino-Japanese War, returned home in November 1938 after being relieved by Bartolomeo Colleoni. During the war she participated in the Battle of Punta Stilo, on 9 July 1940, in the successful attack on Harpoon convoy during the Battle of Pantelleria, on 15 June 1942. Raimondo Montecuccoli and the cruiser Eugenio di Savoia, forming the 7th Division, fought a long gunnery duel off Pantelleria with the escort of a large Allied convoy to Malta, at the end of which their combined fire crippled the destroyer HMS Bedouin and damaged the cruiser HMS Cairo and the destroyer HMS Partridge.

Partridge took the disabled Bedouin under tow. During the last stages of the action, according to post-battle reports from both sides, Raimondo Montecuccoli scored a hit on the minesweeper HMS Hebe at "approx. 26.000 yards". Two Allied freighters from the convoy, the cargo ship Burdwan and the large tanker Kentucky, both of them disabled by previous air attacks and abandoned by their escorts, were finished off by the Italian squadron. Kentucky was set on fire by Raimondo Monteccucoli's guns; the Italian cruisers forced Partridge to cast off the tow and leave Bedouin behind. The disabled destroyer was sunk by an Italian SM 79 torpedo bomber, she was damaged by USAAF bombers in Naples on 4 December 1942, with the loss of 44 of her crew, but having been repaired and just weeks before the armistice, on August 1943, she was operative again. The cruiser became by this time one of the few Italian naval units fitted with the Italian designed radar EC-3 ter Gufo radar. On 4 August Raimondo Montecuccoli along with the light cruiser Eugenio di Savoia, shelled without consequences a small Allied convoy off Palermo during the Allied invasion of Sicily, in an aborted attempt to attack the United States Navy fleet in port.

The Allied convoy was an American submarine chaser, USS SC-530, escorting a freshwater barge. The Italian cruisers withdrew after picking up a number of coastal search radars tracking them with their Metox devices. After the Armistice she was interned by the Allies and returned to Italy after the war to serve as a training cruiser until 1964; some remains of the ship, along with several artillery pieces and armoured vehicles, are preserved at the Città della Domenica theme and amusement park near Perugia, in Italy. There is a dual artillery mount, placed near the mast. Bragadin, Marc'Antonio; the Italian Navy in World War II, United States Naval Institute: Annapolis, Maryland.
