FAQs

What is the primary function of a bottle trap?

A bottle trap, also known as an odor trap, prevents unpleasant sewer gases from escaping the drain and entering your bathroom by maintaining a water seal.

Is this bottle trap compatible with all sinks?

It is designed to fit most standard wash basins with a 1 1/4 inch basin connection and a DN 32mm (1 1/4 inch) drain pipe, adhering to universal plumbing standards.

How do I clean the bottle trap?

You can easily clean it by unscrewing the bottle section, removing any collected debris, rinsing it, and then reassembling it. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, basic plumbing tools such as pliers or a pipe wrench may be needed for tightening fittings, along with a bucket to catch residual water and a soft cloth.

How often should I clean the bottle trap?

It is recommended to clean the bottle trap every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice slow draining or any odors. Quick visual checks for debris can also be done periodically.

Can the brushed brass finish be easily scratched?

While durable, the brushed brass finish can be scratched by abrasive materials. It's best to use soft cloths for cleaning and avoid harsh scrubbing.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.

Troubleshooting

Sink is not draining properly

Check the bottle trap for blockages. Unscrew the bottle, remove any debris, clean, and reassemble.

Water leaks from connections

Ensure all fittings are securely tightened. Check that seals and washers are correctly seated and undamaged. Re-tighten connections gently.

Unpleasant odors from the drain

Verify that the bottle trap contains water, creating a proper water seal. If the trap is dry, run water down the sink. Check for any cracks or improper seals that might allow gases to escape.

Brushed brass finish appears dull or discolored

Clean the finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. If necessary, use a cleaner specifically designed for brushed brass finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

This bottle trap is designed to fit standard wash basins with a 1 1/4 inch basin connection and a DN 32mm (1 1/4 inch) drain pipe. The adjustable extension tube and wall pipe lengths provide flexibility for various installations.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off.
  2. Remove the old bottle trap, if applicable.
  3. Connect the 1 1/4 inch outlet of the bottle trap to the basin waste using the provided fittings and seals. Hand-tighten initially.
  4. Connect the outlet of the bottle trap to the drain pipe using the appropriate slip joint fittings and seals. Adjust the extension tube length as needed.
  5. Connect the wall pipe to the drain pipe, ensuring a snug fit.
  6. Once all connections are made, hand-tighten all fittings securely. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
  7. Turn on the water supply and run water down the basin, checking all connections for leaks. Tighten slightly if minor drips occur.

Care:

To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For internal cleaning, unscrew the bottle trap, empty any debris, rinse with water, and reassemble.
