FAQs

What material is this bottle trap made of?

The bottle trap is constructed from solid brass for durability and corrosion resistance.

Is the outlet pipe length fixed?

No, the outlet pipe is adjustable to accommodate various plumbing configurations and ensure easier installation.

What is the finish of the bottle trap?

The bottle trap features a modern brushed nickel finish.

Will this bottle trap fit any basin waste?

It is designed to be compatible with most standard UK basin waste fittings.

Can this be used for concealed plumbing?

This bottle trap is specifically designed for exposed plumbing where the trap is visible and intended to be part of the bathroom's aesthetic.

How often should I check for leaks?

It is recommended to check for leaks after initial installation and then periodically, especially after any plumbing adjustments.

Is installation difficult?

While designed for easy installation with an adjustable pipe, it requires basic plumbing knowledge. Ensure all connections are properly sealed to prevent leaks.

Troubleshooting

Trap is leaking from connections

Check that all threaded connections are securely tightened. Ensure rubber seals are correctly seated and not damaged. Apply PTFE tape or pipe sealant to threaded joints if necessary. Verify the adjustable outlet pipe is correctly aligned and sealed.

Water is not draining effectively

Ensure the adjustable outlet pipe is not set at too steep an angle, which could impede flow. Check the basin waste itself for blockages. Confirm the horizontal drain pipe is clear.

Brushed nickel finish is discolored or scratched

Use only a soft, damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. If scratched, the finish may not be repairable without professional re-finishing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the basin waste fitting is installed correctly and has a standard UK outlet thread.
  2. Connect the bottle trap's inlet pipe to the basin waste outlet, hand-tightening first.
  3. Align the adjustable outlet pipe to connect with your existing horizontal drain pipe. Use the provided seals and ensure a snug fit.
  4. Use PTFE tape or pipe sealant on threaded connections as needed for a secure, leak-proof seal.
  5. Gradually tighten all connections, avoiding over-tightening which could damage components.

Care:
