Troubleshooting
Leaking from connections
Ensure all threaded connections are properly aligned and tightened. Check that any included washers or seals are correctly seated. If leaks persist, consider applying a small amount of PTFE tape to the male threads before tightening.
Slow draining or blockage
Disconnect the P trap and check for obstructions. Remove any accumulated debris or hair. Flush the trap with warm water before reassembling.
Unpleasant odors from the drain
The trap may have insufficient water to form a proper seal. Ensure the P trap is correctly installed with the U-bend holding water. If the sink is rarely used, manually pour a cup of water into the drain to refill the trap seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure all connections are clean and free of debris before assembly. Hand-tighten all fittings initially, then use appropriate plumbing tools for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten, which can damage plastic threads. Connect the trap inlet to the waste pipe from the basin and the outlet to the drainpipe leading to the sewer system.
Compatibility: This P trap features standard 40mm connections, making it compatible with most standard basin waste pipes and drain pipes in the UK. Always double-check your existing pipe sizes before purchase, as noted in the product description regarding size guide variations.
Care: Clean the trap periodically by flushing with warm water. For blockages, disassemble the trap (after placing a bucket underneath to catch residual water) and clear any debris. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, as they may degrade plastic components over time.
