McAlpine 1-1/4" Space Saver Basin Waste Trap Self Closing WHB-1

Product Information

Sink Bottle Traps connect to horizontal bathroom sink waste pipes, while S-Traps connect to vertical bathroom sink waste pipes. This means you will never have to choose between on another, unless you are installing all of the piping from scratch. Bottle traps on wash basins, in showers and behind bath tubsDiscreet design, perfect functionality: Consumers expect this from a waste system designed to make their waste water disappear, never to be seen again. These systems are used when washing hands, bathing, and showering, in the toilet and at the bidet. In essence, a trap is the bend in the waste system. Where it is used will influence its shape, which creates the water seal. First of all, let’s take a closer look at how the trap works. Functionality: The trap concept for battling bad odoursOdour traps do their job covertly, and they all work in the same way: The trap contains water. This seals the drain pipe to prevent sewer gases from penetrating into your living space. Because you really do not want any of those smells in your home. As soon as you turn on the tap, it replaces the water in the trap. Keep it clean and the trap will clean itself. A bottle trap suits any basin, but it especially suits wall hung basins and counter top basins with exposed underside. This is because they let the traps show off their forms and be part of the aesthetic. As well as this, wall hung basins have plenty of room underneath them, meaning the trap is easily accessible for ease of use.

Basin bottle traps feature adjustable pipes so that you can extend them to the height you need to reach your basin. This is because each basin will be sitting at a different height, especially with the popularization of wall hung basins which also feature an adjustable height.

This is because the bottle trap’s design contains the clog to a manageable area within the cannister. Without a bottle trap, any clogs would form deeper in the pipes which are not easily accessible or fixable. You also wouldn’t be able to retrieve any lost items, so that ring would be gone for good!

In short: Bathrooms need long-lasting high-quality traps to reliably fulfil their odour-neutralising duties. Regardless of which model you choose. Models: P-trap or bottle trapWhich odour traps are usually used in households?Put on some rubber gloves and use your hand (or some pliers) to undo the spigot nut on the wash basin’s drain valve. By law, you must make use of traps with your plumbed fixtures. In the UK, the law states every trap must have the minimum of a 25mm seal of water or an equivalent. This is to ensure all traps keep all buildings safe from dangerous and disgusting gases, so make sure you install a trap. Basin traps sit underneath the sink and connect the basin waste hole to the bathroom sink waste pipe. They stop gases from escaping the waste pipe and into your bathroom. All the filth you wash away is sent down to the sewers where it decomposes. When it decomposes it releases gas that carries a cacophony of germs and terrible smells. Your basin trap is your front line defense against an onslaught of terrible gas that could damage your health and your home. The space saved however; you will notice. This is especially true if you make use of a wheelchair and need to be able to fit part of the chair under the sink.
