Barbie's head

If you were to just put a straight elbow in then that would eliminate the pooling water from the equation, if you were really keen you could use 2, 45 degree bends with a joiner in the middle to make sure that all of the flow is down hill.
If condensation is the issue I think that all you need to do is lag the pipe and that should create a barrier to stop the heat transfer, even bubble wrap taped on would probably work

I would glue the trap but put a union above to make it removable for cleaning. If condensation is an issue and the trap is designed right condensation would only be an issue at initial start up and after sitting idle for a long time. Just my opinion and very similar to my thoughts that Orange Monkeys are not very desirable as pets!

As whoever says it is a generic version of barbie, you just break the body off and drill out the neck to suit the size of your original valve cap. Then just glue it in.
You could probably do barbie and Ken, or gi Joe or similar, as long as the neck hole isn't too large.
I felt bad when I bought it (from a charity shop/thrift shop/ op shop), whilst trying to figure out if it was going to work I inadvertently broke it, when I went to pay the lady sold it to me for half price (because it was broken) despite me explaining that I had broken it and I would still pay full price.
I then explained why I wanted it and she just gave me a funny look and said poor thing to the body of the doll when I asked her to throw it away.

I am disappointed......

I thought you shrunk it.

Looks can be decieving

Since you are waiting until Monday to tackle this job I thought I would weigh in: It is clear to me that you overheated, burned up a Thelman Bushing thereby throwing a Johnson Rod (Happens all the time). My recommendation is to start over because whoever installed the pipe had become a plumber only recently or more likely, was still in training, possibly training to be a Bang Beggar or Jakes-Farmer. Anyway, take it all apart any way you can and put the pipe into a bag. Bring the bag to Home Depot and before you go into the store throw the bag away in one of the big containers outside the store.
