Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your existing waste pipe is clean and free of burrs. Slide the connection nut and rubber washer onto the waste outlet before securing the trap. Hand-tighten all connections to avoid cracking the plastic threads; avoid using heavy-duty wrenches that may apply excessive torque. For maintenance, it is recommended to unscrew the bottom cap of the bottle trap every 6-12 months to clear out soap scum, hair, or debris. Always keep a bucket underneath before unscrewing the cap to catch the water trapped within the unit. If the unit remains unused for long periods, pour a small amount of water down the drain to replenish the seal.
