FAQs

What material is the bottle trap made from?

The bottle trap is constructed from solid brass for durability and longevity.

Is this bottle trap suitable for all types of basins?

Yes, it is suitable for both wall-hung and countertop basins, provided they use a standard UK basin waste.

How do I clean the brushed nickel finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the finish.

Can the outlet pipe be extended or shortened?

The outlet pipe is adjustable horizontally to allow for alignment with the wall waste. If significant length adjustment is needed beyond its range, professional advice or additional components might be required.

What does 'Standard UK Fit' mean?

It means the trap is designed to connect seamlessly with most standard basin wastes and wall outlet pipes commonly found in the UK market.

Is this bottle trap suitable for exposed plumbing?

Troubleshooting

Leak at connection points

Ensure all seals are correctly seated and all connections are tightened appropriately. Check for any damage to the seals or fittings.

Trap not aligning with wall outlet

Utilize the adjustable feature of the outlet pipe to achieve alignment. If significant adjustment is needed, ensure the pipe is cut correctly or repositioned if possible. Check that the basin is mounted at the correct height.

Slow draining from basin

Check the bottle trap for any blockages or debris. The trap can be dismantled for cleaning. Ensure the basin waste itself is clear.

Discoloration of the finish

Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. If discoloration persists, it may be due to water quality or aggressive cleaning agents used previously.
