FAQs

What size pipe does this trap fit?

This trap is designed for 1 1/4" pipes.

Can I use this trap with different pipe materials?

Yes, the universal outlet is compatible with plastic, copper, and lead pipes.

How do I clear a blockage with the cleaning eye?

Unscrew the cap on the cleaning eye, use a suitable tool to remove the obstruction, then securely screw the cap back on.

What is the purpose of the 75mm water seal?

The 75mm water seal is crucial for preventing unpleasant sewer gases from entering your home.

Is this trap suitable for high-temperature water?

While made of durable polypropylene, it is best suited for standard domestic wastewater temperatures. Extreme heat may affect performance over time.

What tools are needed for installation?

The easy-grip compression nuts are designed for hand-tightening, but a pipe wrench may be useful for final adjustments if needed.

Troubleshooting

Trap is leaking

Ensure compression nuts are tightened securely. Check that the tapered rubber seal and O-ring are correctly seated and free from debris. Verify compatibility with the pipe material.

Water is draining slowly

Use the cleaning eye to check for blockages within the trap. If the blockage is further down the pipe, further clearing may be required.

Difficulty tightening compression nuts

Ensure the nuts are correctly aligned with the threads. If they feel stiff, check for any obstructions or cross-threading. Do not overtighten.

Sewage odors are present

Confirm the 75mm water seal is maintained by running water regularly. Check the integrity of the seal and ensure the cleaning eye cap is securely fastened.
