Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size waste hole does this trap fit?

This trap is designed specifically for shower trays with a 50mm waste hole.

Can I use this with a kitchen sink?

No, this product is specifically engineered for shower waste management and is not suitable for kitchen sink applications.

How often should I clean the trap?

It is recommended to clean the trap whenever you notice a reduction in drainage speed to prevent total blockage.

Does it include the mounting hardware?

The unit includes the necessary threading and seals to connect to standard 1.5 inch BSP shower waste outlets.

Is the material resistant to standard household cleaners?

The trap is made of high-quality plastic, but you should avoid caustic chemical drain cleaners to ensure the longevity of the seals and housing.

Troubleshooting

Water draining slowly

Remove the trap cover and clear any hair or soap buildup from the internal assembly.

Leakage at the connection point

Ensure the washer is seated properly and tighten the threaded connection by hand; do not overtighten with tools as this can crack the plastic.

Smell of sewage in the bathroom

Check that there is sufficient water in the trap to maintain the seal; if the shower has not been used in a while, run water to refill the trap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple to install thanks to the universal outlet
  • Effective odor prevention with the 19mm water seal
  • Easy to clean due to the removable trap design
  • Standardized threading fits most common shower waste systems

Cons

  • Specifically requires a 50mm shower tray waste hole
  • The 19mm seal is shallower than some deeper P-trap alternatives
  • Requires proper alignment to prevent potential leaks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your shower tray has a standard 50mm diameter waste hole. Thread the 1.5 inch BSP connection securely to your waste outlet, ensuring the washers are positioned correctly to prevent leaks. Periodically check the seal integrity after installation. For care and maintenance, unscrew the trap cover periodically to remove accumulated debris. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, as these may damage the plastic housing over time; manual removal of blockages is the recommended approach for this model.
