FAQs

Is this bottle trap compatible with all basins?

It is compatible with most standard bathroom basins that utilize a 32mm (1¼ inch) waste connection.

What is the adjustable range of the trap?

The trap can be adjusted to a height between 140mm and 200mm.

Does this trap come with the necessary seals?

Yes, it is designed with standard compression fittings that include the necessary seals for a watertight connection.

Can I use this for a kitchen sink?

No, this is specifically designed for bathroom basin waste applications and is not suitable for the higher flow rates of a kitchen sink.

How do I keep the chrome finish looking new?

Wipe it down regularly with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using abrasive cleaners or acidic bathroom chemicals.

Is the material plastic or metal?

The trap is constructed from durable polypropylene with a polished chrome finish.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the connection point

Ensure the rubber washer is seated correctly and the compression nut is tightened firmly but not over-torqued.

Slow drainage from the basin

Check the bottle trap base by unscrewing the bottom cap to clear any trapped hair or debris.

Unpleasant odors returning to the basin

Verify that the trap has been installed at the correct height and that the water seal is fully charged (filled with water).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adjustable height accommodates varying basin depths
  • Polished chrome finish offers a premium look
  • Easy to install due to lightweight materials
  • Deep 50mm water seal for effective odor prevention
  • Compatible with standard 32mm plumbing systems

Cons

  • Polypropylene material is less robust than solid brass
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial waste applications
  • Exposed finish requires careful cleaning to avoid scratches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard 32mm waste pipe connection. Before starting, ensure that the basin waste outlet is clean and free of debris. Slide the compression nuts and seals onto your pipework before securing the trap body. Adjust the height between 140mm and 200mm to ensure the waste pipe aligns perfectly with the wall connection. To maintain the chrome finish, avoid harsh abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these can strip the plating. Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water for regular cleaning to keep the surface looking polished.
