Bottle trap McAlpine HC2WM-32 5/4" DN32 low white

Compact low bottle trap McAlpine HC2WM-32 5/4" DN32 in white is designed for sinks and basins where space under the fixture is limited. The trap provides an effective water seal to prevent sewer gases entering the room and accepts a standard 5/4" (DN32) connection. Its low-profile design and white finish make it suitable for installations in domestic bathrooms, cloakrooms and light commercial washrooms where a discreet, space-saving waste trap is required.

Advantages

The trap's compact low profile conserves under-sink space while delivering reliable sealing performance. Constructed for straightforward connection to compatible waste outlets, it facilitates easy installation and maintenance. The white finish integrates visually with most sanitaryware and conceals minor scuffs that can occur in everyday use. Designed for common DN32 fittings, the unit supports standard waste plumbing without special adaptors in most cases.

Suitable for

• Domestic bathroom and basin installations with restricted under-sink clearance
• Cloakroom and guest washrooms where a discreet trap is required
• Light commercial washrooms in offices, small cafés and retail premises
• Replacement of existing DN32 bottle traps in renovation projects

Key specifications

• Connection size: 5/4" (DN32)
• Design: low-profile bottle trap
• Colour/finish: white
• Application: sinks and basins
• Material: corrosion-resistant plumbing grade material suitable for domestic wastewater

How to use

Install the bottle trap between the basin waste outlet and the soil pipe following standard plumbing practices. Ensure the trap is aligned and tightened to create leak-free joints with the inlet and outlet fittings; use appropriate sealing washers or PTFE tape as required by the installation. After fitting, run water to check the integrity of connections and confirm the water seal is established to prevent odours. For maintenance, remove the lower bottle section to clear debris and rinse before reassembling.

Usage recommendations

For long-term reliability, check connections periodically for leaks and clear any accumulated debris in the trap. Avoid disposing of large solids or grease that could block the bottle trap and reduce its effectiveness. When replacing an old trap, verify outlet heights and clearances to ensure the low-profile design fits the available space.
