FAQs
What does '50mm water seal' mean?
A 50mm water seal means there are 50 millimeters of water held within the trap at all times. This water acts as a barrier, preventing foul-smelling sewer gases from escaping into the room.
What is an 'anti-syphon' design?
An anti-syphon design prevents the water seal in the trap from being accidentally 'sucked' or 'siphoned' out due to changes in air pressure within the drainage system. This ensures the water barrier remains intact.
Can this gully be used with suspended timber floors?
Yes, this sheet floor gully is specifically designed for installation in both concrete and suspended timber floors.
What pipe sizes can the outlet connect to?
The gully has a 2" horizontal outlet. It also includes a 2" x 1½" socket reducer, allowing connection to either 2" or 1½" pipework.
How often should I clean the gully?
It is recommended to clean the gully trap regularly, depending on usage. A monthly check and clean is a good general guideline to prevent blockages and maintain performance.
Are different cover plate finishes available?
Yes, this gully is available with White Plastic, Polished Stainless Steel, or Chrome Plated Brass cover plates to suit various bathroom decors.
What standards does the outlet comply with?
The outlet complies with BS EN 1329-1:2000 for solvent weld drainage systems.
Troubleshooting
Foul odors are still present
Ensure the 50mm water seal is adequately maintained. Check for any leaks in the pipework connected to the gully. Verify the anti-syphon mechanism is not compromised and the gully is installed correctly.
Water is not draining effectively
Check the gully trap and connected pipework for blockages. Clean out any debris that may have accumulated. Ensure the gully is installed level or with a slight fall towards the outlet.
