FAQs

What is the main purpose of a bath trap?

A bath trap creates a water seal that prevents unpleasant sewer gases and odors from entering your bathroom through the waste pipe.

What does the '50mm water seal' mean?

It means the trap is designed to hold approximately 50mm of water, which forms the barrier against gases.

Will this trap fit my existing waste pipe?

The BATHTRAP50-CPB features a 1.5" universal outlet, designed to connect with most standard 1.5" (40mm) waste pipes. It's advisable to confirm your pipe size.

How often should I run water through the trap?

If the bathroom is used infrequently, it's recommended to run water down the drain for a few seconds every week or two to replenish the water seal and prevent odors.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the chrome plating.

What material is the bath trap made of?

The bath trap is made of brass with a chrome-plated finish for durability and appearance.

What is the weight of this product?

The product weighs approximately 1.72 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Persistent sewer odors

Ensure the water seal is adequately maintained. Run water down the drain regularly. Check all connections for leaks and ensure they are sealed correctly.

Slow drainage

Check for blockages in the bath waste, the trap itself, or the connected waste pipe. Clean out any accumulated hair or debris.

Leak at connection points

Tighten the connections securely. If a permanent seal is required, reapply appropriate solvent cement or ensure rubber seals are correctly seated and undamaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively prevents sewer odors with its 50mm water seal.
  • Durable and attractive chrome-plated brass construction.
  • Universal outlet simplifies connection to existing waste pipes.
  • Enhances bathroom air quality and hygiene.
  • Stylish design complements modern bathrooms.

Cons

  • Requires proper installation to ensure a watertight seal and odor prevention.
  • May be heavier than plastic alternatives due to brass construction.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring a larger water seal.
  • Replacement parts or specific adapters might be less common than for more universal plastic traps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation involves connecting the trap to the bath waste outlet and then to the main waste pipe. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight using appropriate seals and solvent cement if required for the pipe type. The universal outlet simplifies the connection to the waste pipe.

Compatibility: The 1.5" universal outlet is designed to fit most standard 1.5" (40mm) waste pipe systems. Verify your existing pipe diameter before installation.

Care: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish. Periodically check for any blockages in the drain and the trap itself to ensure optimal performance and water flow.
