FAQs

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval means the product has been inspected and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for water supply, ensuring it is safe and does not contaminate drinking water.

Is this S trap suitable for a washing machine outlet?

While designed for sinks and basins, its universal fit and material properties might allow it for certain washing machine outlets, provided the connection sizes match and it can be securely installed to prevent backflow and odors.

How do I clean a blockage in the S trap?

You can usually unscrew the nuts holding the trap in place, carefully remove the U-bend section, and clear any debris. Reassemble securely, ensuring seals are in place, and test for leaks.

Can I paint this S trap?

Painting polypropylene is generally not recommended as paint may not adhere well and could flake off, especially given the potential exposure to water and cleaning agents. It is designed to be used as is.

What is the main purpose of an S trap?

An S trap is designed to hold a water seal that prevents unpleasant sewer gases and odors from entering your home through the drain.

What does BS EN 274 compliance signify?

BS EN 274 is a European standard specifically for sanitary tapware, including traps. Compliance indicates the product meets specified performance, safety, and dimensional requirements.

Troubleshooting

Trap is leaking

Check all connections for tightness. Ensure any rubber seals or washers are correctly seated and not damaged. Re-tighten connections or replace seals if necessary.

Unpleasant odors from the drain

The water seal in the S trap may have evaporated or is insufficient. Ensure the trap is full of water by running the tap for a few moments. If odors persist, check for blockages or leaks further down the drain system.

Slow draining water

The trap or the connected drain pipe may be partially blocked. Disassemble the S trap according to care instructions and clean out any accumulated debris. Check the main drain for blockages as well.

Trap appears deformed

While heat resistant, extreme or prolonged exposure to very high temperatures might cause deformation. Inspect the trap for damage. If deformed, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting material
  • Resistant to chemicals and heat
  • Universal fitting for easy installation
  • Complies with safety and quality standards (BS EN 274, WRAS Approved)
  • Corrosion-free design

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the existing pipework is clean and free of debris.
  2. Apply plumber's tape or jointing compound to threaded connections if recommended by specific fitting instructions.
  3. Connect the inlet of the S trap to the waste outlet of the basin or sink.
  4. Connect the outlet of the S trap to the main drain pipe, ensuring a secure fit.
  5. Hand-tighten connections first, then use appropriate tools for a final snug fit, avoiding overtightening.
  6. Run water through the trap to test for leaks.

Compatibility:

This trap is designed as a universal S trap, meaning it should be compatible with standard UK plumbing sizes for sink and basin waste outlets and drain connections. Always check your existing pipe dimensions to confirm compatibility, though its design aims to cover most common configurations.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
  • Periodically check connections for tightness to prevent leaks.
  • If blockages occur, follow standard plumbing procedures for clearing drains. The S trap can typically be disassembled for cleaning if necessary.
