When it may not be suitable

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1 1/4 inch
• Function: Prevents sewer gas backflow
• Application: Sinks and washbasins
• Material: Durable plumbing-grade plastic

How to use

To install the TYCNER P-trap, first ensure that the existing drain pipe is clean and free of debris. Position the trap beneath the sink drain outlet and align it with the wall drainage pipe. Tighten the connection nuts securely by hand to create a watertight seal, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads. Once installed, run water through the sink to verify that there are no leaks at the connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your existing drain pipe to ensure compatibility with the 1 1/4 inch connection.
• Check the available space under your sink to ensure the trap fits comfortably.
• Ensure you have the necessary tools or gaskets if your specific installation requires additional sealing components.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the trap for any signs of leakage and ensure that the water seal remains intact by using the sink periodically. If the sink is not used for an extended period, the water in the trap may evaporate, potentially allowing odors to enter; in such cases, simply run water for a few seconds to replenish the seal.
