So we hope.That's what I meant. The drain is open to atmosphere at both sides, so that the expansion when freezing has somewhere to go. It won't crack the pipe.

ultimately though couldn't you just put the trap inside the house/basement somewhere where it won't freeze? Is there a reason why this would be bad from a plumbing perspective?So we hope.

Should work fine. The only thing I can think of is the longer your pipe is before the trap, the better chance of scuzzy buildup and possible odors. Not a big deal, just run a small snake through if you start to get a whif of something funky.ultimately though couldn't you just put the trap inside the house/basement somewhere where it won't freeze?

the skankiest thing going in there would probably be hop bits and pieces. otherwise just washing stuff.Should work fine.
