Bottle trap McAlpine HC1LWM 5/4" DN32 low profile white

McAlpine HC1LWM bottle trap is a low-profile waste trap designed for basins and washstands where space is limited. Finished in white, the compact bottle design provides standard water seal performance while allowing easier installation in tight cupboards and vanity units. The unit connects to a 5/4" inlet and a DN32 outlet and includes an accessible removable bottle for cleaning and maintenance.

Advantages

The low-profile form factor reduces the vertical space required beneath the basin, enabling installation in shallow vanities and pedestal-free configurations. The white finish offers a neutral appearance that integrates with common bathroom fixtures. The removable bottle and simple connection points allow straightforward access for cleaning and routine maintenance without the need to dismantle the entire installation.

Suitable for

• Domestic washbasins in bathrooms and guest toilets
• Compact vanity units and shallow cupboards under sinks
• Renovation projects requiring a low-clearance trap
• Installations where a white finish is preferred to match fittings

Key specifications

• Trap type: bottle trap, low profile
• Inlet size: 5/4"
• Outlet connection: DN32
• Finish: white
• Design: compact removable bottle for cleaning

How to use

Install the bottle trap between the basin outlet and the waste pipe, ensuring the 5/4" inlet aligns with the basin tailpiece and the DN32 outlet connects securely to the waste line. Tighten connections to create a watertight seal, taking care not to overtighten plastic fittings. The removable bottle can be unscrewed for inspection and to clear debris; perform periodic checks to maintain proper drainage and prevent odours.

Usage recommendations

When fitting, confirm compatible pipe diameters and ensure a gentle fall towards the soil pipe for reliable drainage. Avoid using chemical cleaners that may damage plastic components; if mechanical cleaning is required, remove the bottle and rinse with warm water. If seals are worn, replace washers to maintain leak-free performance.
