FAQs

What pipe sizes does the multifit outlet accommodate?

The multifit outlet is designed to accept both 1¼" (32mm) and 1½" (40mm) pipes, offering flexibility in installation.

How do I maintain the water seal?

The water seal is maintained by regular use of the connected fixture (sink, bath, shower). If a fixture is unused for a long period, run water to replenish the trap's water seal and prevent odors.

Can I use this trap for a washing machine or dishwasher outlet?

While the trap itself is robust, it's essential to check the specific requirements for washing machine or dishwasher waste. Ensure the flow rate and type of discharge are compatible with the trap's capacity and design.

What is the purpose of the two cleaning eyes?

The cleaning eyes provide easy access to the interior of the trap, allowing for the removal of accumulated debris or blockages without needing to dismantle the entire plumbing setup.

Is this trap suitable for an outdoor sink?

The trap is made from corrosion-resistant materials, making it suitable for various applications. However, consider local climate conditions and ensure proper drainage to prevent freezing if applicable.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Water seal disappears, allowing odors

Ensure the trap is installed correctly and that there are no issues with negative pressure in the system causing siphoning. Check that the trap is not completely dry; some evaporation can occur if the fixture is not used for extended periods. If so, run water to replenish the seal.

Slow drainage or blockage

Use the cleaning eyes to access and clear any debris from the trap. If the blockage persists, it may be further down the waste pipe. Ensure no foreign objects were introduced during installation.

Leaking connections

Check that all connections are securely tightened. Ensure any provided seals or washers are correctly seated. If using solvent weld, ensure proper preparation and application. For push-fit connections, ensure the pipe is fully inserted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective 75mm water seal prevents odors.
  • Multifit outlet ensures broad pipe compatibility.
  • Straight-through design minimizes blockage risk.
  • Easy maintenance with two cleaning eyes.
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant construction.

Cons

  • Requires confirmation of pipe compatibility for the outlet.
  • May not be suitable for very high-pressure systems without additional consideration.
  • The straight-through design might require specific pipe alignment during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the trap is correctly positioned in the waste pipe system. Connect the inlet to the fixture's waste pipe and the outlet to the drainage system, ensuring all connections are secure and watertight. The multifit outlet is designed to accept a range of pipe sizes, but always check for a snug fit.

Compatibility: The McAlpine X10A features a 1¼" inlet. The multifit outlet can typically accommodate 1¼" (32mm) and 1½" (40mm) pipes. Verify that your existing or new pipework matches these dimensions for a proper connection.

Care: Regularly check the trap for any signs of blockage. Use the two cleaning eyes to access the interior and remove any accumulated debris. Cleaning can be done with a soft brush and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they may damage the materials.
