FAQs

Can I connect more than two appliances?

This trap is specifically designed for two appliances due to its twin spigot configuration.

What size pipe does this trap connect to?

It is designed for 1.5-inch diameter sink drain pipes.

Does it come with hoses?

No, the trap includes the sink trap body and fittings. Appliance hoses are sold separately.

How often should I check for leaks?

It is recommended to check for leaks periodically, especially after initial installation and after significant appliance use.

Can this trap be used with hot water discharge?

Polypropylene is generally suitable for typical household hot water temperatures from washing machines and dishwashers. However, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.

What is the purpose of the 75mm water seal?

The 75mm water seal in the P trap creates a barrier of water that prevents sewer gases from rising through the drain and entering your home.

Troubleshooting

Water leak at compression nut

Ensure the tapered rubber seal, O-ring, and slip ring are correctly seated. Retighten the compression nut by hand until snug. If the leak persists, check for damage to the seal or pipe.

Appliance hose not fitting securely on spigot

Verify the hose size is compatible with the spigot diameter. Use a hose clamp for a more secure fit if needed.

Unpleasant odors from the drain

The P trap may have lost its water seal. Run water through the sink and appliances for a minute to refill the trap. Ensure the trap is correctly installed with adequate water seal depth.

Slow draining

Check the appliance spigots and the trap body for any obstructions or buildup of lint and debris. Disassemble and clean if necessary.
