Abstract: A condensate trap for providing improved gas seal to a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R) system. The trap can include an interior reservoir containing a volume of fluid to create a gas seal between an inlet pathway and an output. The interior reservoir can be accessed through an access port, by removing a removable cover, for maintenance and inspection. The trap can include vents or vent precursors for aiding in drainage of excess fluid, as well as early detection of problem conditions. The trap can be made from modified parts put together in a specific manner, or through purpose-built parts. The trap can include liquid level sensors and inspection windows to aid in early detection of problem conditions.
