FAQs
What is the purpose of the 75mm water seal?
The 75mm water seal is a layer of water held within the trap that acts as a barrier, preventing sewer gases and foul odors from entering your living space through the drain.
Can this gully be used with a vinyl or linoleum floor?
This specific model is designed for tiled or stone floors. While modifications might be possible, it is not the intended use. McAlpine offers other gully types suitable for different flooring materials.
How often should I clean the gully trap?
It is recommended to clean the grid and accessible parts of the trap regularly, ideally weekly or bi-weekly, depending on usage, to prevent blockages and maintain hygiene. Pouring water into the trap monthly helps maintain the seal.
What size pipe does the outlet connect to?
The gully has a 110mm vertical outlet. It is supplied with a 110mm x 2" (50mm) reducer to connect to standard 2-inch waste pipes.
What are the available grating options?
This model is available with a Polished Stainless Steel grating, a White ABS tileable grating, or a Circular Polished Stainless Steel grating.
Is this gully suitable for use with a concrete floor?
Yes, the McAlpine TSG2-T150SS is suitable for use with concrete floors, as well as suspended timber floors.
Do I need to seal the gully to the floor?
Yes, when installing the gully into a tiled or stone floor, it should be properly bedded and sealed to the surrounding floor substrate to prevent water ingress into the subfloor and ensure stability.
Troubleshooting
Foul odors are escaping the drain.
Ensure the water seal is intact by pouring water into the gully. Check that the gully body is sealed correctly to the surrounding floor and that no cracks have developed. Clean the trap to remove any potential blockages that could disrupt the water seal.
Water is not draining efficiently.
Remove the grid and clean out any accumulated hair, soap, or debris. Check the vertical outlet and the connected waste pipe for blockages. Ensure the gully is installed correctly and not obstructed.
The reducer does not fit the existing pipe.
Confirm the size of the existing waste pipe. The supplied reducer is for 110mm to 2" (50mm) pipe. If you have a different pipe size, you may need to source an appropriate adapter from a plumbing supplier.
Grid is difficult to remove for cleaning.
Ensure there are no obstructions lodged around the grid. Some grids may have small notches for leverage; use a flathead screwdriver gently if needed. If the issue persists, check for any deformation of the grid or gully opening.
