This McAlpine shower trap is ideal for homeowners and plumbers looking to prevent unpleasant bathroom odors caused by evaporation in standard 1.5" UK plumbing systems. Its key benefit is the resealing water trap mechanism, which ensures effective odor prevention even with infrequent shower use. A minor consideration is ensuring compatibility with your specific shower tray's depth due to its low-profile design.

A resealing shower trap is designed to automatically maintain a water seal, even if the shower isn't used regularly. This prevents foul odors from sewer gases from entering your bathroom, a common issue with standard traps that can dry out.
The multifit outlet is designed to connect to standard 1.5" (40mm) UK waste pipes. It offers some flexibility for variations in pipe size within this range.
Yes, the McAlpine STW8-RB features a low profile, making it suitable for installation in shower trays with limited depth.
You can clean the trap by carefully removing the chrome-plated cover and the trap body. Wash these parts with mild soap and water, rinse, and then reassemble. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
The trap maintains a 50mm water seal, which is the standard depth required to effectively block sewer gases.
The trap is available with a chrome-plated cover, typically made from plastic or brass, to match bathroom fixtures.
Ensure the trap is correctly installed and that the water level in the trap body reaches at least 50mm. Check for any leaks in the waste pipe connection. If the shower is used very infrequently, run water through it for a minute once a month to replenish the seal.
Check that the trap body is clean and free from blockages. Ensure the multifit outlet is securely connected to the waste pipe. Verify that no other ventilation points in the bathroom plumbing are compromised.
Ensure no sealant or adhesive is preventing removal. Try gently wiggling the trap body while pulling upwards. If it's a new installation, confirm no excess adhesive was used during fitting.
