Bottle trap McAlpine 5/4" chrome model 220CB

Bottle trap McAlpine 5/4" chrome model 220CB is a plumbing waste trap intended for installation beneath washbasins and other sanitary fixtures. The chrome finish gives a low-profile, corrosion-resistant surface suitable for visible fittings. The bottle-style removable chamber enables straightforward access for cleaning and maintenance, while the 5/4" connection size matches standard basin waste outlets to ensure a proper fit and reliable drainage.

Advantages

The bottle-style construction offers a removable sealed chamber that simplifies debris removal and routine cleaning without dismantling the entire trap. The chrome-plated surface resists corrosion and is easy to wipe clean, maintaining appearance in exposed installations. Designed for a standard 5/4" outlet, the trap provides secure connections and stable alignment with basin wastes. Its compact profile saves space under the sink while preserving necessary water seal to prevent sewer gases from entering the room.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial washbasins with standard 5/4" waste outlet
• Bathroom furniture and exposed plumbing installations where appearance matters
• Installations requiring periodic cleaning or access to trapped debris

Key specifications

• Trap type: bottle-style waste trap
• Connection size: 5/4" outlet compatible with standard basin wastes
• Finish: chrome-plated surface
• Access: removable chamber for cleaning and maintenance
• Installation position: under-basin, exposed or concealed as required by fitting

How to use

Install the bottle trap directly beneath the basin waste outlet, ensuring the 5/4" connection is sealed to the basin tailpiece using the provided or appropriate gasket and locknut. Align and tighten the trap to the waste and the waste pipe whilst maintaining correct slope for drainage. To clean, isolate the water supply if necessary, place a container beneath the trap, unscrew the bottle chamber and remove accumulated debris before reassembling the parts and checking for leaks.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, check seals and joints periodically and avoid flushing large solids or excessive grease that can accumulate in the chamber. Use only non-abrasive cleaners on the chrome finish to preserve the plating. If installation requires connection to non-standard piping, use appropriate adapters and follow local plumbing codes.
