FAQs

What is a bottle trap used for?

A bottle trap is a plumbing fixture designed to trap waste and, crucially, hold a water seal that prevents foul-smelling sewer gases from entering the room through the drain.

How do I ensure the water seal works effectively?

The water seal is maintained by the water that remains in the trap after use. Ensure the trap is installed correctly and that water runs through the basin regularly to keep the seal fresh and effective.

Can this bottle trap be used with any basin?

It is designed for standard basin waste outlets. Compatibility with your specific basin and plumbing should be confirmed by checking thread sizes and overall dimensions before purchase.

How often should I clean the bottle trap?

It is advisable to check and clean the bottle trap every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice slow drainage or odors, to prevent blockages and maintain hygiene.

What does the 3-year guarantee cover?

The 3-year manufacturer's guarantee covers faulty workmanship or materials, provided the product is installed and used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Is the extension tube removable?

The extension tube is typically a fixed part of the assembly or connects securely to the bottle trap outlet. While it can be disassembled for cleaning, it is not designed for frequent removal during normal use.

Troubleshooting

Water leaks from connections

Ensure all fittings are securely tightened. Check rubber washers and seals are correctly positioned and not damaged. Reapply PTFE tape to threaded connections if necessary.

Unpleasant odors persist

Verify the extension tube is correctly installed and contains an adequate water seal. Ensure no air gaps are present in the plumbing. Clean out any debris that might be obstructing the trap.

Slow drainage

Check the bottle trap and extension tube for any blockages caused by hair or debris. Disassemble and clean thoroughly if necessary.

Matt black finish is scratched or damaged

Use only non-abrasive cleaning cloths and mild soap. For significant damage, replacement of the affected part may be required.

  • Comes with a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to ensure proper odor prevention.
  • Specific design might not fit all plumbing configurations without adaptors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main drain pipe is accessible and ready for connection.
  2. Connect the bottle trap to the basin waste outlet using the provided fittings.
  3. Attach the extension tube to the outlet of the bottle trap.
  4. Connect the other end of the extension tube to the main drain pipe.
  5. Hand-tighten all connections initially, then gently tighten with appropriate tools, being careful not to overtighten.
  6. 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.
