FAQs
What is the primary function of the water seal trap?
The primary function is to create a water barrier that prevents foul-smelling sewer gases and odors from entering the building through the drainage system.
Can this trap be used with ceramic or vinyl flooring?
This particular model is designed specifically for tiled or stone floors. While it might be adapted, its aesthetic and installation are optimized for stone and tile finishes.
How do I ensure the water seal is maintained?
Regularly use the drain as normal. If the drain is in an infrequently used area, pour a small amount of water (e.g., a pint) into the gully every few weeks to replenish the seal.
What does 'multifit outlet' mean?
A multifit outlet means the bend can accept various types of pipe connections, typically both solvent weld and push-fit, making installation more versatile.
What is the overall height requirement for installation?
The trap requires an overall height of 138mm from the underside of the finished floor to the underside of the outlet connection.
Is this trap suitable for use in a wet room?
Yes, it is suitable for wet room installations, especially those with tiled or stone floor finishes, due to its effective water seal and aesthetic appeal.
What standards does this product meet?
The product has been tested and approved to meet relevant British and European standards for drainage components.
Troubleshooting
Foul odours persist despite installation.
Check if the water seal has evaporated due to infrequent use or a dry trap. Pour water into the gully to re-establish the seal. Ensure the trap is correctly installed and not subject to 'siphonage' effects from other appliances.
Slow draining or blockage.
Remove the stainless steel grid and clean any debris accumulated in the trap body. Check the connected drainage pipe for obstructions. Ensure the outlet bend is not restricted.
Water leaks from the outlet connection.
Verify the connection between the multifit outlet bend and the drainage pipe is secure and properly sealed, using appropriate solvent cement or push-fit methods as per manufacturer guidelines.
Stainless steel tile appears dull or scratched.
Clean with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For minor scratches, a specialized stainless steel polish may help restore the finish, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
