From the preious post, people mentioned about Fire Damper type/materials and its locations.  Also someone mentions to ID diff typs of traps and know which fixture to use it for.

Does anyone know where I can find those information?  MEEB doesn't seem to say much about fire dampers & traps

fire damper is fire damper. I don't think they would ever ask you different types. You often find a fire damper inside supply and return ducts btw zones and btw floors. These dampers are automatic and will shut off when a fire signal is sent to them from the fire alarm system or from sensors.

P trap is for sinks location.

S trap is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_%28plumbing%29

U trap is for sewer lines.

A drum trap is a coffee-can-size reservoir that holds enough drain water from a fixture. Like other types of traps, a drum trap forms a barrier to prevent gasses from the drain system flowing back out the fixture's drain. Drum traps are found mostly in older homes. Current codes prohibit their use. They should be replaced with a P-trap.
