Busted furnace condensate drain trap

Just bought my first house. Have an Armstrong EG6E Ultra II 97 High
Effecincy gas furnace.
Needed to clean the condensate pump because it was all slimed up. Pump
was installed on the floor, very little clearance to pull pump out from
between floors and PVC drain pipe. So I "encouraged" the PVC to give a
little, and it gave a lot -- I brokethe PVC drain pipe where it
connects to the PVC trap. I broke the nipple off of the trap, so I may
need to replace the trap.
But I am having a horrible time trying to find a replacement trap for
this. I can't find anything on the Internet. I believe it was a factory
or installer pre-assembled trap -- has a fancy diagram sticker on it
telling how to keep the trap topped off with water.
I put some 2-part expoxy on it and it's doing Ok as a temporary
solution, but it's not super water tight (drips a little). And I'd like
to find a better longterm solution that just glue.
Can anybody help me replace or fix this?
Thanks,
Chris
Have you given thought to using "J B Weld" to rebuild the pipe?
I've found it just about repairs anything.
