McAlpine Bath Trap - 1.5" - With Clicker Plug - Without Overflow

It means this trap is designed for bathtubs that do not have a built-in overflow pipe. The plug is the sole mechanism for controlling water flow, and there's no separate connection for an overflow pipe on the trap itself.

No, this trap is specifically designed for baths *without* internal overflows. Using it on a bath with an overflow may lead to improper sealing or drainage issues.

The clicker plug is typically operated by pressing down on it. A further press usually releases it, opening the drain. It's designed for tool-free operation.

This McAlpine bath trap is designed for 1.5-inch (approximately 38mm) pipe connections.

It's recommended to clean the clicker plug and visible parts of the trap regularly, such as weekly or bi-weekly, depending on usage, to maintain optimal performance and prevent blockages.

The bath trap is constructed from durable polypropylene, a robust plastic commonly used for plumbing components.

Check the clicker plug for obstructions (hair, soap scum). Ensure the plug is fully disengaged. Inspect the trap and connected pipework for blockages.

Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Check seals and washers for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Verify the trap is compatible with your bath's overflow system.

Clean the plug and its housing to remove any debris. Lubricate moving parts lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, ensuring it is safe for plumbing applications.
