I have to say I like the spirit of adventure. If it doesn't have a P trap I will plug it until I can get a P trap in.

Bob,
Thank you for all the advice, you were patient and informative... and most of all right. The P trap was essential 90% away from where I thought the pipe was running, so inside the wall like you suggested. It was a b@*'~ to get the cap off as I couldn't grab it with anything because the whole thing was a couple of inches below grade. Eventually got it to spin by driving it with a screw driver into the brass.

So now I have an emergency drain that may save my basement and my marriage one day.

Good to hear, just remember you have a conduit for everything creepy and crawly in your garage to inside your home. Might want to plug it off in the garage. Just a thought, glad I could help,
Bob
