Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps:
Ensure the O-ring is correctly seated on its lug inside the top trap nut.
Push the lug inside the waste fitting and tighten the nut by hand. Avoid overtightening.
Unscrew the nut from the trap and remove it, along with the washer and the rubber seal.
Place these components over the end of the pipe – first the nut, then the washer, followed by the seal.
Push the pipe into the trap as far as it will go, slide the seal and washer forward into position, and tighten the nut.
Double-check that the central joint in the body of the trap is tight.
Compatibility: The FloPlast P Trap is compatible with plastic and copper pipes and can be connected to most UK manufacturers' push fit and solvent weld waste pipes.
Care: All joints can be taken apart if required. Always check that the rubber seal has not been damaged, as this will cause leaks. Regular inspection of the P-trap for debris buildup is recommended.
