It is available in 32mm and 40mm sizes.

What type of fitting does this trap use?

It uses a compression fitting.

Can I use this with copper pipes?

Yes, it is suitable for use with both plastic and copper pipes.

How do I connect the waste pipe?

Use the nut, washer, and rubber seal provided to connect the waste pipe, ensuring the seal is correctly positioned.

What should I do if the trap is leaking?

Check the tightness of all connections and inspect the rubber seal for damage. Replace the seal if necessary.

How often should I clean the trap?

It is recommended to clean the trap periodically, depending on usage, to remove any accumulated debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Start by connecting the trap to the waste fitting. Ensure the O-ring is correctly seated inside the top trap nut.
Push the lug inside the waste fitting and tighten the nut by hand; avoid over-tightening.
To connect the other end to the waste pipe, unscrew the nut, remove the washer, and the rubber seal.
Place these components over the end of the pipe: first the nut, then the washer, and finally the seal.
Push the pipe into the trap as far as it will go and slide the seal and washer forward into position. Tighten the nut.
Double-check that the central joint in the body of the trap is tight.

Compatibility: The FloPlast Bottle Trap is compatible with plastic and copper pipes, and most UK manufacturers’ push-fit and solvent weld waste pipes.

Care: Regularly inspect the trap for any leaks. Clean the trap periodically to remove any accumulated debris. If any joints are taken apart, always check the rubber seal for damage.
