FAQs

What size pipe does this trap fit?

This trap is designed for 40mm (1.5 inch) nominal bore pipework and connections.

How much can the telescopic section extend?

The telescopic design allows for adjustment to bridge varying distances between the sink outlet and the waste pipe, providing flexibility in installation. Specific extension range depends on the exact model but is designed for typical domestic plumbing variations.

Can this trap be used for both sinks and basins?

Yes, this is a universal trap suitable for both kitchen sinks and bathroom basins, provided the pipe sizes are compatible.

What is the purpose of the 75mm seal?

The 75mm water seal is crucial for preventing foul-smelling sewer gases from escaping the waste pipe and entering your home.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is generally straightforward for DIYers with basic plumbing knowledge. The telescopic and swivel features are designed to simplify alignment. Ensure connections are secure and seals are properly seated.

What material is the trap made from?

The trap is made from durable, universal polypropylene.

Does it come with all the necessary seals?

Yes, the kit includes the necessary seals for a complete and effective installation.

Troubleshooting

Trap is leaking

Ensure all connections are fully tightened. Check that the seals are correctly positioned and not damaged. If leakage persists, verify that the pipework is aligned correctly and not under undue stress.

Slow draining

Check for blockages within the trap itself or further down the waste pipe. You may need to disconnect and clean the trap. Ensure the telescopic sections are not fully extended, which can sometimes reduce flow.

Unpleasant odors despite the trap

Verify that the water seal is maintained. If the sink or basin is not used frequently, water can evaporate from the trap. Run water for a minute to refill the trap. Also, check for any cracks or faulty seals allowing gases to bypass.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly adjustable due to telescopic and swivel features.
  • Standard connection size for broad compatibility.
  • Effective 75mm water seal prevents odors.
  • Durable polypropylene material for longevity.
  • Includes essential seals for a complete kit.

Cons

  • Requires careful alignment to prevent leaks.
  • May be less suitable for very complex or non-standard pipework.
  • Polypropylene can be more susceptible to extreme heat compared to metal traps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the appropriate end of the trap to your sink or basin outlet.
  2. Extend the telescopic section to align with your existing waste pipe.
  3. Connect the other end to your waste pipe, ensuring a snug fit.
  4. Tighten all connections by hand first, then slightly with pliers if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
  5. Ensure seals are correctly seated before tightening.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for 40mm (1.5 inch) nominal bore pipework.
  • Compatible with most standard kitchen sinks and bathroom basins.
  • Ensure your existing waste pipe has a compatible connection size.

Care:

  • Periodically check connections for leaks.
  • Clean the trap if you experience slow draining; disassembly may be required for thorough cleaning.
  • Avoid pouring harsh chemicals or excessive grease down the drain, as this can degrade seals and pipes over time.
