When air cools to its dew point through contact with a surface that is colder than the air, water will condense on the surface. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

The pipe is still colder than the exhaust gases. Condensation also occurs in the exhaust pipe of cars. Ever seen water leak out of a muffler?

I'm not talking about this. Condensation is also created in the exhaust pipe when it goes outside the house. The cold temperature outside makes the exhaust pipe cold. This is why there's a drain line at the end of the inducer motor and not before. This is also why the exhaust pipe must also be...

Water/condensate is created in the pipe when the exhaust gases go through a cool/cold pipe. Same idea when a cold water bottle sits in a hot/warm room. The water vapor in the room turns into water when it makes contact with the cold water bottle and collects in the surface of the water bottle.

My previous home had a tank water heater in the basement with a tube going to the drain from the exhaust pipe trap at the bottom of the tank. It definitely was for draining condensate. I've also seen tankless water heaters with condensate pumps below them.

It's either a tankless water heater with a tank beside it or a boiler with a tank. I'm thinking about getting a brass or stainless screw to screw into the little hole so much less water comes out. Would be a much easier solution than kill myself. Thoughts?

I still want to make sure the sewer gases don't make their way past the trap. Do you think the water heater drain line releases enough water to keep the trap primed?

Crimp with a hose clamp or something else? Would it be best to cut a hole in the drywall behind the shower riser and hope to find the primer tube behind there?

How exactly is it suppose to be throttled down? With a valve? I have no idea where the leak is coming from but I did silicone the floor drain in the pic, added new silicone around the bathtub spout and around the bathtub lever cover. So will see if that prevents the water from damaging the...

It's the drain for the water heater and furnace in a closet with the washing machine and dryer stacked. Bathroom is adjecent to this closet. There is no basement. It seems like someone messed up and connected a T to the showerhead pipe instead of installing a trap primer because it's coming out...

I placed silicone around it because the water splashes upwards and around the drain. The ceiling on the floor below has gotten wet but this only occurs after someone takes a shower. Like I said. The water only comes out of the little hole at full pressure when the showerhead portion is on.

Any idea why there would be water coming out of a pin hole in the drain of a laundryroom closet beside the bathroom when "only" the showerhead is on? Not when the bath spout is on. The water coming out of this pin hole is coming out at full pressure. This is a fairly new house with PEX...
