Drain Syphon McAlpine HC2-FUNNEL – funnel for waste discharge, kitchen and appliance fit

McAlpine HC2-FUNNEL is a compact drain syphon funnel designed to guide greywater and rinse-off discharge into domestic drainage systems. It is intended for use under kitchen sinks and behind household appliances to ensure controlled flow into the drain, reducing the risk of splashes and localized flooding. The simple funnel shape channels water from appliance outlet hoses or sink overflows into waste pipes while occupying minimal space and remaining discreetly positioned.

Advantages

The funnel provides a stable and directed path for waste water, helping to prevent spillage and ensure consistent drainage. Its compact design fits into confined spaces behind sinks and appliances, and the smooth inner surface encourages efficient flow and reduces buildup. Installation requires no modification to existing waste pipework when used as an accessory to guide discharge, and the product is compatible with typical domestic drainage arrangements.

Suitable for

• Kitchen sinks where controlled overflow or rinse discharge needs directing into the drain
• Washing machines and dishwashers with outlet hoses that require a funnelled intake to a waste pipe
• Appliance installations where a discreet funnel is needed to prevent splashes and manage greywater

Key specifications

• Function: Guides greywater and rinse-off discharge into drainage systems
• Application area: Under sinks and behind household appliances
• Design: Compact funnel shape suitable for confined spaces
• Material properties: Smooth internal surface to promote flow (material suitable for domestic drainage use)
• Compatibility: Designed for standard domestic waste arrangements and common appliance outlet hoses

How to use

Position the funnel beneath the sink or behind the appliance so that the appliance outlet hose or overflow outlet directs into the wide mouth of the funnel. Ensure the narrow end of the funnel points toward the waste pipe or into an existing trap connection so water is guided into the drain with minimal obstruction. Check for secure seating and adjust alignment to avoid kinks in hoses or gaps that could cause leaks. Periodically inspect the funnel and surrounding connections for signs of buildup or misalignment and clear any debris that could impede flow.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, make sure the funnel is positioned to allow gravity-assisted flow into the waste pipe and that outlet hoses are supported to prevent strain. Regular visual checks and occasional cleaning will maintain unobstructed drainage. If the installation requires a watertight connection to a specific waste fitting, use compatible clamps or connectors appropriate to local plumbing practice.
