Sink Trap McAlpine 5/4" with side clean-out, chrome finish, model 225CB

The McAlpine 5/4" sink trap model 225CB in chrome finish is a compact waste trap designed for use beneath washbasins and sinks. It creates a reliable water seal to prevent foul odors from the drainage system and features a side clean-out access that allows clearing of blockages without removing the entire trap. Manufactured for compatibility with standard 5/4" connections, this trap is suitable for domestic and light-commercial drainage installations where a polished chrome appearance is required.

Advantages

The sink trap offers a durable chrome-plated surface that resists corrosion and matches contemporary fixtures. The integrated side clean-out provides convenient access for maintenance and reduces the need for dismantling pipework during routine clearing of debris. Its straightforward design ensures simple installation with standard fittings and provides a consistent water seal performance for odor prevention.

Suitable for

• Domestic washbasins and kitchen sinks with 5/4" outlets
• Light-commercial washrooms and utility sinks
• Installations requiring a chrome aesthetic under visible plumbing
• Situations where occasional access for clearing blockages is needed

Key specifications

• Connection size: compatible with standard 5/4" outlet fittings
• Material/finish: chrome-plated trap body for corrosion resistance
• Access feature: side clean-out for removable access to the trap interior
• Application: suitable for washbasins and sinks in domestic and light-commercial settings

How to use

Mount the trap directly under the sink outlet and connect to the waste pipe using compatible 5/4" fittings and seals. Ensure the trap is level and tightened securely to avoid leaks. Use the side clean-out to remove accumulated debris by unscrewing the access cap; always place a container beneath the clean-out before opening to catch water. After cleaning, replace the cap and check all joints for tightness and leaks during a test run with running water.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, inspect the trap periodically for buildup and clean through the side access when slow drainage is noticed. Avoid disposing of grease, large solids or fibrous materials into the drain to reduce blockages. If installation requires non-standard pipe runs or irregular outlet positions, consult installation instructions or a qualified plumber to ensure correct alignment and sealing.
