Sink Waste Trap McAlpine CP2H chrome 45 mm with plug handle

McAlpine CP2H chrome 45 mm with plug handle is a compact sink waste trap designed for use in kitchen and bathroom sinks. The unit features a chrome-plated finish and a 45 mm outlet to connect to standard sink waste pipes. An integrated plug handle provides manual control over the drain, allowing straightforward opening and closing of the trap for water retention or release. The trap’s design focuses on easy installation, simple operation and a corrosion-resistant exterior suitable for visible sink fittings.

Advantages

The chrome-plated surface offers corrosion resistance and a finish that matches a range of sink and tap styles. The integrated plug handle eliminates the need for a separate pop-up mechanism and simplifies operation. Its compact construction saves space beneath the sink and is compatible with standard 45 mm waste connections, which reduces the need for additional adaptors. The trap is constructed to provide a reliable seal to prevent odors and minor leaks when properly installed.

Suitable for

• Kitchen sinks with standard 45 mm waste outlets
• Bathroom basin installations where a manual plug handle is preferred
• Renovation projects replacing compact or visible traps
• Situations requiring a chrome-finished visible trap

Key specifications

• Outlet diameter: 45 mm
• Finish: chrome-plated
• Integrated manual plug handle for opening and closing the drain
• Compact trap body suitable for limited under-sink space
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal and suitable sealing components

How to use

Install the trap by connecting the 45 mm outlet to the sink waste pipe according to local plumbing standards, ensuring all seals and washers are correctly positioned. Tighten the fittings by hand and finish with appropriate tools if required, taking care not to overtighten chrome-plated surfaces. Use the integrated plug handle to close the drain for water retention or to open it to allow drainage. Inspect all connections after first use and check periodically for signs of leakage or loosened fittings.

Usage recommendations

For long-term performance, avoid aggressive chemical cleaners that may damage sealing components or the chrome finish. Periodically check and clean the trap to prevent debris accumulation and maintain an effective seal. When replacing existing traps, confirm compatibility with the sink waste outlet diameter and local plumbing requirements before installation.
