Traps particularly intended for carrying condensate from air conditioner drip trays towards a drainage system are constructed from a single turn of a flexible thermoplastic pipe; each unit being preformed when in a heat-softened state into a shape of a one-turn coil resembling the twist in a pig's tail, or the Greek "alpha" (alpha) symbol. Traps are made of a transparent flexible durable thermoplastics material, such as polyvinyl chloride, and internal contents may be inspected through the trap wall. Being flexible, the traps can reliably connect mis-aligned conduits. Being flexible, the traps can serve as reliable connectors between conduits where relative movement is a problem such as where vibration or earthquakes occur.
