Product Information
Full details
This RUMO RELIABLE & MODERN RM TRAP 1.0 is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to effectively manage wastewater from a single bowl kitchen sink. Its primary benefit is the flexible telescopic fitting and adjustable neck, which accommodate varying bowl depths and simplify installation. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for 40mm connections, which may require adapters for non-standard plumbing. Key features include durable ABS plastic construction, a multifit compression outlet, and an integrated appliance outlet for dishwashers or washing machines.

FAQs
What size pipe does this trap connect to?
This trap is designed for 40mm standard plumbing connections, common in British and European systems. The multifit compression outlet offers some flexibility.
Can I use this for a double bowl sink?
No, this trap is specifically designed for single bowl sinks.
How do I adjust the height for my sink?
The trap features a telescopic fitting and an adjustable neck that can be extended or retracted to match the depth of your sink bowl and align with your waste pipe.
Can I connect a washing machine drain hose to this trap?
Yes, it includes an appliance outlet specifically for connecting dishwasher or washing machine drain hoses.
What material is the trap made of?
The trap is made of durable ABS plastic.
How often should I clean the trap?
It is recommended to clean the trap periodically, especially if you notice slow draining or potential blockages. Regular checks for leaks are also advised.
Will this trap prevent sewer smells?
Yes, the P-trap design creates a water seal that effectively blocks sewer gases from entering your home, provided the water seal is maintained.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the compression fitting
Ensure the nut is tightened securely. Check that the washer is correctly seated and not damaged. If connecting to a non-standard pipe, ensure a proper adapter is used.
Slow draining water
Check the trap for blockages from food debris or grease. Disassemble and clean the trap if necessary. Ensure the appliance hose is not kinked.
Foul odors from the drain
Verify that the P-trap contains water, which forms the odor barrier. Run water if the trap has dried out. Ensure all connections are airtight.
Appliance outlet leaking
Ensure the hose clamp or fitting for the appliance hose is securely attached to the outlet and tightened properly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and lightweight ABS plastic construction.
- Telescopic and adjustable features simplify fitting for various sink depths.
- Includes an appliance outlet for added plumbing flexibility.
- Designed to prevent foul odors with its P-trap water seal.
- Suitable for most British and European sinks with 40mm connections.
Cons
- Primarily designed for 40mm pipework, may require adapters for other sizes.
- ABS plastic may be less resistant to very high temperatures compared to metal traps.
- Specific dimensions may need verification for very tight installation spaces.
- Requires a manual water seal to function effectively; potential for drying out if unused for extended periods.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the sink trap and connecting pipes are clean.
- Connect the multifit compression outlet to the sink's waste outlet, tightening securely.
- Adjust the telescopic fitting and extendable neck to align with your existing 40mm waste pipe.
- Connect the trap outlet to the waste pipe, ensuring a snug fit. Tighten compression nuts by hand first, then use tools for a final firm (but not overtightened) seal.
- If using the appliance outlet, attach the dishwasher or washing machine hose securely.
- Run water to test for leaks at all connection points.
Compatibility:
- Designed for single bowl sinks.
- Compatible with 40mm standard plumbing connections (British and European).
- The multifit outlet may accommodate slight variations, but 40mm is the primary size.
- An adapter may be needed if your existing plumbing is not 40mm.
Care:
- Clean periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Check connections regularly for any signs of leakage.
- Ensure the P-trap maintains a water seal. If the sink is unused for a long time, run water briefly to replenish the seal.
