FAQs

What size waste pipe does it connect to?

It connects to a standard 1 1/4" waste pipe.

What materials is it compatible with?

It's compatible with plastic, copper, and lead pipes.

What is the water seal depth?

The water seal is 75mm.

Is it suitable for a kitchen sink?

This trap is primarily designed for bathroom sinks; its slim design and size may not be suitable for kitchen sinks, which often have larger waste requirements.

How do I clean the trap?

Unscrew the base of the trap and rinse out any debris. You can also clean the inside of the trap with warm, soapy water.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Can I adjust the inlet height?

Yes, the adjustable inlet allows for some flexibility in height to accommodate different installations.

What if the trap leaks after installation?

Check the compression fittings and ensure they are properly tightened. Also, verify that the washers are correctly positioned and undamaged.

Troubleshooting

Leakage around the compression fittings.

Tighten the compression nuts further, but avoid over-tightening. Check that the rubber washers are correctly seated and undamaged. Consider using plumber's tape.

Slow draining.

Check for blockages in the trap. Unscrew the base of the trap and remove any debris. Also, check the waste pipe for obstructions.

Unpleasant odors in the bathroom.

Ensure the water seal is intact. Check for cracks or damage to the trap. Make sure the trap is filled with water; if it's drying out, it may be due to infrequent use or a siphon effect.
