What is the required pipe size for connection?

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads that can damage the PVD coating.

Can this bottle trap be used with any plumbing system?
It is suitable for all standard plumbing systems, provided the thread size (G1-1/4" BSP Female) and pipe size (Ø35mm) requirements are met.
Troubleshooting
Bottle trap is leaking from connections.
Ensure all connections are properly tightened. Check that seals and washers are correctly seated and not damaged. Reapply plumber's tape to threaded connections if necessary.
Water is not draining freely.
Check for blockages within the bottle trap itself by carefully disassembling and cleaning it. Ensure the connected waste pipe is also clear.
Foul odors are still present in the bathroom.
Verify that the bottle trap has sufficient water retained within its body to form a proper seal. Ensure the trap is correctly installed and that there are no other breaches in the plumbing's odor barrier.
Brushed brass finish appears discolored or damaged.
Stop using abrasive cleaners immediately. Clean gently with a soft damp cloth and mild soap. If the PVD coating is significantly damaged, replacement may be necessary.
