Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the main drain pipe is accessible and ready for connection.
- Connect the bottle trap to the basin waste outlet using the provided fittings.
- Attach the extension tube to the outlet of the bottle trap.
- Connect the other end of the extension tube to the main drain pipe.
- Hand-tighten all connections initially, then gently tighten with appropriate tools, being careful not to overtighten.
- Run water through the basin to test for leaks and ensure the water seal is formed correctly.
Compatibility:
This bottle trap is designed to connect to standard basin waste outlets and standard UK plumbing pipes. However, always check the dimensions and thread sizes against your existing plumbing before purchasing. Adaptors may be required for non-standard fittings.
Care:
- Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the matt black finish.
- Periodically check the trap for blockages and clean as needed, following the disassembly and reassembly steps carefully.
- Ensure the water seal is maintained by running water regularly.
