How do I clean the matt black finish?
Clean the matt black finish using only a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.
What is the warranty period for this product?

What are the dimensions of the bottle trap?

Can this bottle trap be used with any sink?
It is designed to connect to standard UK basin waste outlets and drain pipes. It is essential to check compatibility with your specific plumbing and available space before purchasing.
What should I do if I notice a leak?
Check that all connections are securely tightened and that the seals are properly in place. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber or refer to the troubleshooting section.
Troubleshooting
Water leaks from connections
Ensure all threaded connections are securely tightened. Check that rubber seals or washers are correctly seated and not damaged. Reapply plumber's tape to threaded joints if necessary.
Slow draining from the basin
The bottle trap may be partially blocked. Carefully disassemble the trap (following installation instructions in reverse) and clear any debris or hair accumulation. Reassemble securely.
Unpleasant odors persist
Verify that the water seal within the bottle trap is intact and has not evaporated (this can happen if the sink is unused for extended periods). Ensure the trap is correctly installed and there are no other breaches in the drainage system allowing gases to enter.
Matt black finish is dull or marked
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap if needed. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid all harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
