It's temporary, right lol.
It should have a trap, and probably it's own tie in. But the inspector saw it and passed me. I said it was a temporary installation.

But is a trap all its missing? Easy to add, just didn't think it was needed since there is a trap in the floor drain.

I just know that Tony tried something similar here in Calgary and he ended up failing his inspection.

Wow, I got my whole plumbing permit failed because I had a sink draining into a floor drain like that (maybe I just had a big meanie of a plumbing inspector, or maybe Edmonton inspectors suck less than Calgary inspectors). I had to jackhammer the floor to tie into the main drain line AND tie the drain into the nearest vent to the ceiling. (And have a trap, but the main concern was that it didn't have it's own tie-in and venting) - apparently code only allows for "clear water" (aka furnace and A/C condensation) secondary drainage like that (I think that was the term he used for that anyhow) and anything else has to have a trap, tie-in and vent. (Pure awesome sauce.)
