How to use

To install the Nicoll 552 sink siphon, first ensure that the sink outlet is clean and free of debris. Position the siphon beneath the sink drain, aligning the inlet with the sink tailpiece. Secure the connections using the provided nuts and washers, ensuring they are tightened sufficiently to create a watertight seal without over-tightening, which could damage the components. Once installed, run water through the sink to check for any leaks at the connection points and verify that the water drains freely.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your existing sink tailpiece
• Check the available space under the sink for installation
• Ensure compatibility with your current drainage pipe diameter
• Confirm if additional adapters are needed for your specific plumbing setup

Usage recommendations

Regularly flush the sink with warm water to prevent the accumulation of debris within the siphon. If the flow rate decreases, inspect the siphon for blockages and clean it manually to maintain optimal drainage performance.
