Nuie Square Bottle Trap and Extension Tube - Brushed Brass

A bottle trap, also known as a P-trap or S-trap, is a plumbing fixture designed to trap a small amount of water in its base. This water creates a seal that prevents sewer gases and unpleasant odors from rising through the drain and entering your bathroom.

The extension tube is often included to provide flexibility in connecting the bottle trap to your existing waste pipe, especially if the outlet is not perfectly aligned. It can also help ensure a proper water seal in the trap.

It's recommended to check and clean the bottle trap for blockages every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice slow draining or odors. Regular cleaning of the external finish is also advised to maintain its appearance.

The Nuie Square Bottle Trap and Extension Tube comes with a 3-year guarantee from the manufacturer, covering faulty workmanship or materials, provided it is installed and cared for according to instructions.

It is best to avoid abrasive bathroom cleaners. Use only a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly to protect the brushed brass finish.

This bottle trap is designed for standard basin waste fittings, typically 1 1/4 inch (32mm). The extension tube is also designed to connect to standard waste pipes.

Ensure all seals and washers are correctly seated and tightened securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage components. Check that the waste pipe and trap are properly aligned.

Verify that the bottle trap is filled with water (this creates the seal). Ensure the extension tube is properly connected and sealed. Check if the main drainpipe has sufficient ventilation.

Check the bottle trap and extension tube for any blockages. Hair, soap scum, or debris can accumulate. Dismantle the trap and clean out any obstructions.

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. If the finish is significantly damaged, contact the manufacturer.
