FAQs
What size sink waste does this trap fit?
This kit is designed for standard 1½" (40mm) kitchen sink waste outlets and pipe connections.
Does the kit include everything needed for installation?
Yes, the kit comes complete with all the necessary parts for a standard bowl and half sink installation.
What material is the trap made of?
The trap is made of quality polypropylene, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners with this trap?
It is recommended to avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can degrade the polypropylene material over time. Opt for manual cleaning or hot water flushes.
How often should I clean the waste trap?
Regular cleaning is recommended, especially if you notice slow draining or odors. A monthly check and flush with hot water is a good practice.
What should I do if the trap is leaking?
Check that all connections are tightly secured and that the seals and washers are correctly in place and undamaged. Reassembly and testing for leaks is the next step.
Is this kit suitable for a single bowl sink?
While primarily designed for a bowl and half setup, the core trap components can often be adapted for a single bowl sink if the outlet size matches (1½" / 40mm). However, verify specific plumbing configurations.
Troubleshooting
Leak at connection points
Ensure all nuts are securely tightened (but not over-tightened). Check that washers and seals are correctly positioned and not damaged. Reassemble and test.
Slow draining
Disassemble the trap and check for obstructions within the pipe or the trap itself. Clean out any debris. Ensure the trap is correctly oriented for water flow.
Unpleasant odors
The trap may be dry or have a buildup of waste. Run water to refill the trap's water seal. Clean the trap thoroughly to remove any accumulated grime.
