This McAlpine BRASSTRAP-50-CP bath trap is designed for homeowners and plumbers needing a durable and effective solution to prevent sewer gases from entering a building while managing bath water drainage. Its primary benefit is the corrosion-resistant, chrome-plated brass construction ensuring longevity, with a key caveat being its specific 1.5" diameter which must match existing pipework. Key features include a combined waste and overflow system, a 70mm spring-loaded mushroom plug for a secure seal, and an aesthetically pleasing matching overflow face.

A bath trap creates a water seal that prevents unpleasant and potentially harmful sewer gases from entering your bathroom.
It means the trap has a single fitting that handles both the main drainage from the bath and the overflow function, consolidating plumbing connections.
Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean the visible parts, especially the mushroom plug. Periodically, you may need to dismantle parts of the trap to clean out accumulated debris. Ensure the water seal is re-established after cleaning.
It is suitable for bathrooms with standard 1½" waste pipe connections. Ensure your existing plumbing matches this specification before purchasing.
This model is available with either a 25mm or 50mm water seal, which is the depth of water retained in the trap to block gases.
Typically, yes. The description indicates it is designed for easy installation with all necessary fittings included, but it's always good to check the product packaging against a parts list if available.
This means the product meets the specified European standards for sanitary tapware, indicating quality and safety in performance and design.
Check the mushroom plug for debris. Clean the plug and the inside of the trap. Ensure there are no obstructions in the overflow or the main waste pipe.
Ensure the plug creates a tight seal when closed. Check that the trap is correctly installed and not siphoning water due to issues elsewhere in the drainage system. Verify the water seal depth meets requirements.
Tighten all connecting nuts. Ensure all seals and washers are correctly positioned and not damaged. If leaks persist, consider replacing damaged seals.
Clean the plug mechanism and the surrounding area. Lubricate gently with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, ensuring it is safe for plumbing applications.
