McAlpine sink trap single 1.5" with strainer and plug HC15

The McAlpine sink trap single 1.5" with strainer and plug HC15 is a compact plastic waste trap designed for domestic sinks with a 1.5" outlet. It provides a water seal to prevent sewer gases entering the room and includes an integrated strainer and removable plug to retain debris and allow straightforward draining or blockage when required. The trap is engineered for easy installation and access for routine cleaning and maintenance.

Advantages

This single sink trap offers a compact footprint that fits neatly under standard kitchen and bathroom sinks where space is limited. The integrated strainer reduces the risk of solids passing into the waste pipe while the removable plug enables controlled water retention or quick draining. The design simplifies cleaning and inspection without needing to dismantle large pipe assemblies, and the plastic construction resists corrosion and requires minimal maintenance.

Suitable for

• Domestic kitchen sinks with a 1.5" outlet
• Bathroom basins and small utility sinks
• Tight or confined cupboard installations where a compact trap is needed
• Applications where a built-in strainer and plug are desirable for debris control

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1.5" outlet compatible with standard 1.5" fittings
• Type: Single bottle trap with integrated strainer and removable plug
• Material: Durable plastic construction resistant to corrosion
• Seal: Water trap design providing odor prevention
• Maintenance: Tool-free access for cleaning and debris removal

How to use

Install the trap between the sink waste outlet and the waste pipe using compatible 1.5" fittings, ensuring joints are tightened to prevent leaks. The strainer sits in the sink waste to catch solids; remove it periodically and clear trapped debris. The plug can be used to hold water in the basin when needed or removed to allow drainage. For cleaning, detach the trap or open its access points as required and rinse internal surfaces before reassembly.

Usage recommendations

Check all connections after installation and run water to verify the water seal and confirm there are no leaks. Regularly empty and clean the strainer to prevent blockages, and avoid flushing large solids or grease that could accumulate in the trap. Use appropriate compatible fittings for 1.5" outlets and replace the trap if any cracks or deformation are observed.
