The trap is designed to fit standard 1.5" pipe fittings and can be installed where a simple, space-saving trap is needed in domestic or light commercial washrooms.

Advantages

This single pipe trap combines a compact footprint with reliable performance, making it suitable for installations with limited space. The straightforward design simplifies fitting and maintenance. The product’s compatibility with standard 1.5" plumbing fittings ensures a secure connection and predictable water seal performance. Materials and construction provide resistance to typical household drainage conditions.

Suitable for

• Domestic washbasins and hand basins
• Small commercial washrooms with 1.5" connections
• Appliances or fittings requiring a compact trap under the outlet
• Replacement of existing 1.5" traps in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1.5" nominal
• Type: single pipe (bottle) trap for basin/drain plumbing
• Application: basin and small appliance drainage in domestic and light commercial settings
• Design: compact profile for installation in restricted spaces
• Function: provides water seal to block sewer gases while allowing drainage

How to use

Install the trap directly beneath the basin or appliance outlet using compatible 1.5" fittings and sealants as required by local plumbing practice. Ensure the trap is aligned to allow free flow of waste to the drainage pipe and that the water seal chamber is accessible for inspection and cleaning. Tighten connections to a firm, leak-free fit without over-stressing plastic fittings. After installation, run water to confirm proper drainage and to establish the water seal.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, install the trap in accordance with local plumbing regulations and best practices. Periodically inspect the trap for blockages and clean as needed to maintain drainage and the water seal. Avoid disposing of large solids or grease directly into the trap to reduce the risk of clogging. When replacing an existing trap, confirm the nominal 1.5" pipe compatibility and use appropriate seals or solvent welds recommended for the pipe material.
