Product Information

Full details

The Viva Shallow Bath U Bend P Trap Waste is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on bathroom installations where space is at a premium. Its primary benefit is a compact, shallow profile that allows for efficient drainage in tight under-bath areas while maintaining an effective 19mm seal to block sewer odours. Please note that while the trap is highly functional, its 19mm seal depth requires regular maintenance and consistent water flow to ensure it remains effective against backflow gases.

FAQs

What is the seal depth of this trap?

This model features a 19mm seal depth.

Does this fit a standard 40mm waste pipe?

Yes, it is designed for 40mm piping systems.

Can I install this without tools?

The easy-grip compression nuts are designed to be tightened by hand, though a light adjustment with a wrench may be used if necessary.

Is this trap suitable for use under a shower tray?

While designed for baths, its compact size may allow for use in other applications, provided the 40mm sizing is compatible.

How often should I clean the trap?

Cleaning should be performed if you notice slow drainage or if there is a risk of hair and debris buildup over time.

Troubleshooting

Small drip at the connection point

Ensure the tapered rubber seal is correctly seated and the compression nut is tightened firmly by hand.

Odour present in the bathroom

Verify that the trap contains water and that no siphonage is occurring due to improper venting of the waste pipe.

Difficulty threading the nut

Back the nut off completely, ensure the pipe is aligned straight, and re-thread slowly to avoid cross-threading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact profile perfect for low-clearance areas
  • Easy-grip nuts simplify the installation process
  • Effectively prevents unpleasant odours with an integrated seal
  • Durable construction ensures long-term reliability
  • Standardized 40mm sizing allows for easy integration

Cons

  • 19mm seal depth may be shallower than some deep-seal traps
  • Requires proper alignment to prevent cross-threading the compression nuts
  • Not suitable for high-volume commercial applications requiring deeper water seals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the easy-grip compression nuts; ensure the pipe is cut square to guarantee a flush fit against the rubber seal. Avoid over-tightening with metal wrenches, as hand-tightening is typically sufficient to compress the rubber O-rings into a watertight position. For care, avoid pouring harsh chemical drain cleaners through the trap, as these can degrade the rubber seals over time. Periodically check the trap for debris accumulation by unscrewing the compression nuts; always place a bucket underneath before opening to catch residual water.
