Bottle trap McAlpine HC252570B-NOTOP for basin/sink, plastic bottle trap without overflow connection

McAlpine HC252570B-NOTOP bottle trap for basin and sink is a plastic waste fitting that provides a water seal to prevent sewer gases entering the room. The trap is designed for standard waste outlets and is supplied without an overflow connection, making it suitable for installations where the basin or sink has no overflow or where an overflow is not required. The removable bottle section allows straightforward access for cleaning and clearing blockages, and the plastic construction offers corrosion resistance and lightweight handling for domestic bathroom or kitchen applications.

Advantages

The bottle trap delivers a reliable water seal and basic odour prevention with a simple, maintenance-friendly design. Its plastic construction reduces the risk of corrosion compared with metal traps and keeps the unit lightweight for easier fitting. The product’s removable bottle section enables quick cleaning or replacement without dismantling the entire waste assembly. Supplied without an overflow connection, it fits sinks and basins that use a separate overflow arrangement or none at all.

Suitable for

• Domestic bathroom basins without built-in overflow
• Kitchen sinks where a compact removable trap is required
• Renovation projects needing a lightweight, corrosion-resistant trap
• Situations where easy access is required to clear blockages

Key specifications

• Material: durable plastic
• Type: bottle trap without overflow connection
• Compatibility: standard basin and sink waste outlets
• Installation: below-basin/sink waste fitting, removable bottle section for maintenance
• Function: provides water seal to prevent sewer gas ingress and retain waste water

How to use

Install the bottle trap directly under the basin or sink waste outlet following local plumbing practice and ensuring appropriate seals on the connections. Tighten the compression fittings by hand and then give a small additional turn with a suitable tool if required, taking care not to overtighten plastic components. After installation, run water to check for leaks and verify the trap maintains a continuous seal. To clear a blockage or perform maintenance, isolate the water supply if necessary, place a container beneath the trap, unscrew the removable bottle section and empty or clean it before reassembling and testing for leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use the trap in dry, indoor plumbing systems compatible with plastic fittings. Avoid exposing the unit to strong solvents or temperatures beyond normal domestic hot water ranges. Periodic inspection and cleaning of the bottle section will help maintain flow and prevent odour issues.
