FAQs

What is a bottle trap and why would I want an exposed one?

A bottle trap is a plumbing fixture that holds water to prevent sewer gases from entering a building. An exposed bottle trap, like the Balterley Round Minimalist, is designed to be a decorative element, adding style to your bathroom design rather than being hidden away.

Is this bottle trap compatible with any basin?

No, this bottle trap is specifically designed for use with the Balterley range of ceramic basins and vessels. It's important to check compatibility with your chosen basin.

What material is the bottle trap made from?

It is manufactured from high-quality brass.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that can damage the finish. Gentle soap and water can be used if necessary.

What are the dimensions of the bottle trap?

The dimensions are approximately W 70 x H 115 x D 51 mm.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, it comes with a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Can I use this with a standard UK waste pipe?

While designed to connect to standard plumbing, ensure all connections meet local regulations and plumbing standards for a secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Leaking from connections

Ensure all seals are correctly positioned and connections are securely tightened. Check for any damage to the seals or threads.

Slow draining

Check the bottle trap for any obstructions or debris. Disassemble and clean the trap if necessary. Ensure the waste pipe is clear.

Unpleasant odors

Verify that the water seal within the bottle trap is maintained. If the trap has been dry for a long time, run water through the basin. Ensure the trap is correctly installed to hold water.

Finish discolors or tarnishes

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. If tarnishing persists, consult the manufacturer's warranty information.
