Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size waste hole does this shower trap fit?

This McAlpine shower trap is designed to fit shower trays with a 90mm diameter waste hole.

How does the 50mm water seal work?

The 50mm water seal retains approximately 50mm of water in the trap's bend, creating a barrier that prevents foul air from the drainage system from entering your bathroom.

Can I use this trap with a rigid waste pipe?

Yes, the 1" BSP thread on the outlet allows for connection to standard plumbing fittings, including those for rigid waste pipe systems, often via an appropriate adapter.

Is the flexible connector durable?

The flexible connector is made from durable plastic designed for plumbing applications, offering resilience and the ability to bend without compromising the seal, provided it is not subjected to excessive force or sharp kinks.

How often should I clean the shower trap?

It is recommended to clean the trap periodically, especially if you notice slow drainage. A quick check and clean every few months, or as needed, is usually sufficient.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.

Can this trap be installed vertically or horizontally?

The trap is designed for standard vertical installation into the shower tray waste. The flexible connector provides some adjustment for connecting to horizontal or angled waste pipes.

Troubleshooting

Slow drainage or water pooling in the shower tray

Check the trap for blockages. Remove and clean out any hair, soap scum, or debris. Ensure the flexible pipe is not kinked or obstructed.

Unpleasant odors from the drain

Verify the 50mm water seal is intact. Run hot water down the drain for a minute to replenish the seal. If odors persist, check for any leaks in the pipe connections or a compromised seal.

Trap does not fit the shower tray waste hole

Confirm the shower tray waste hole is 90mm in diameter. This trap is specifically designed for this size. If the hole is larger or smaller, an appropriate adapter may be needed (sold separately).

Leaking connection at the waste pipe

Ensure the 1" BSP threaded connection is securely tightened and that the correct adapter is used. Check the integrity of any seals or washers used in the connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the shower tray waste hole is clean and measures exactly 90mm in diameter.
  2. Apply a small amount of lubricant (if recommended by the tray manufacturer) to the trap's seal before insertion.
  3. Insert the trap into the shower tray waste hole, ensuring it sits flush.
  4. Connect the flexible outlet pipe to your existing waste pipe system, ensuring a secure and watertight fit. Use appropriate fittings or sealant if necessary.
  5. For connecting to the main waste pipe, the 1" BSP thread allows for standard fittings. Screw the appropriate adapter onto the thread and connect to your plumbing.

Compatibility:

  • Shower Tray Waste Hole: Designed for trays with a 90mm diameter waste outlet.
  • Plumbing Connection: Compatible with standard 1" BSP threaded fittings for connection to waste pipes.
  • Not suitable for: Shower trays with different waste hole sizes or non-standard plumbing connections without the use of appropriate adapters.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the trap to prevent debris buildup. Remove the trap cover and clear any visible obstructions.
  • Check the water seal regularly by running water down the drain to ensure it remains effective. If the shower is unused for long periods, run water to replenish the seal.
  • Use mild, non-abrasive household cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic.
