FloPlast P Trap - TP43

This FloPlast P Trap features a 38mm seal and a 40mm connection, suitable for use with plastic and copper pipes of corresponding sizes.

The P trap works by holding a water seal. Ensure the trap is correctly installed and contains water. If a fixture is used infrequently, pour a cup of water down the drain occasionally to maintain the seal.

This model is specifically designed for compatibility with plastic and copper pipes. While some adapters might exist, it's best suited for these materials.

No, it uses compression fittings, which are designed for relatively straightforward installation without the need for solvent welding or soldering. Hand-tightening followed by a slight turn with a tool is typically sufficient.

Regular checks of the fittings for tightness are recommended. If a blockage occurs, the trap can be easily disconnected for manual cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

A P trap is a plumbing fixture designed to trap a small amount of water and create a seal that prevents sewer gases and unpleasant odors from rising through the drain and entering your living space.

Check that the compression nuts are adequately tightened. Ensure the washer is correctly seated and not damaged. Verify pipe ends are clean and not deformed.

Ensure the P trap is correctly installed and holds water. If the fixture is rarely used, pour a cup of water into the drain periodically to maintain the seal. Check for any cracks or damage in the P trap itself.

The P trap may be partially blocked. Disconnect the trap and clear any debris or obstructions. Run water to test drainage speed.
