The MaKe Telescopic Bottle Trap 32mm (PRO064) is an essential plumbing component designed for homeowners and professional installers looking for a reliable, odor-blocking solution for basin and sink waste systems. It excels at providing a flexible, leak-free connection for push-fit or solvent weld pipes, though users should ensure they have the correct pipe diameter of 32mm before installation to avoid compatibility issues.

FAQs
Does this trap fit 40mm waste pipes?
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for 32mm pipe systems.
Can I use this with solvent weld pipes?
Yes, this trap is fully compatible with both push-fit and solvent weld plastic waste pipes.
Do I need special tools for installation?
No, the compression nuts are designed to be tightened by hand, which prevents over-tightening and potential damage to the plastic.
How often should I clean the trap?
It is recommended to check and clean the trap whenever you notice slow drainage or periodically once a year to prevent blockages.
Is the trap material resistant to hot water?
Yes, it is constructed from standard plumbing-grade plastic suitable for normal domestic hot water discharge from sinks and basins.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the compression nut
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting and the rubber seal is seated squarely. Tighten the nut slightly more by hand.
Foul smells coming from the basin
Verify that the trap has a water seal. If the basin is not used frequently, the water may have evaporated. Run the tap for 10 seconds to refill the trap.
Difficulty adjusting the telescopic length
Loosen the compression nut entirely. If it remains stuck, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the sliding seals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your waste pipe is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to the trap's internal seals. Push the pipe into the trap inlet and tighten the compression nut by hand until firm; avoid using metal wrenches as they can damage the plastic threads. For cleaning, periodically unscrew the bottom cap of the bottle trap to flush out sediment or hair build-up. Always place a bucket underneath the trap before unscrewing it to catch the water currently held in the seal. Ensure the rubber O-rings are seated correctly before reassembling to maintain the integrity of the odor seal.
