It will siphon the water out every time the basin is used thats what I know,These can be useful if there's not much space behind the pedestal, only if your waste pipe is low enough to connect to with this design though.

What do the others on here think of this type of pedestal trap, yay or nay?
Are but your traps & wastes are all clean & not been reduces in bore by years of usage, thats the problem with doing things in colleges instead of real life.I do a trap seal loss task with our students and do see that they are more easily syphoned but that is with my horrid "worst case scenario" setup where I have three basins connected to one 1 1/4" pipe on an excessively long run. Then the pedestal traps fail the tests where a bottle trap does not, not that I would use a bottle trap on a basin generally. A P trap also loses its seal in these tests.
When I set it all up properly with a correctly sized waste pipe, proper fall and distance to an open vented stack, the pedestal traps do not fail.
I suppose we have to assume that the trap could be installed in a badly designed system and then I am sure syphoning will be a problem. I do wholly accept that the pedestal trap is the most sensitive to syphonic action for sure though.

I am a P trap man myself, with exception of bottles on basins if you must.
