FAQs

What is an anti-syphon valve?

The anti-syphon valve neutralizes negative pressure that can cause water to be sucked out of the trap, preventing gurgling and ensuring the water seal remains intact.

What type of pipes is this trap compatible with?

This trap is compatible with all plastic, copper, and lead pipes.

How do I clean the trap?

Carefully unscrew the trap, remove any debris, and rinse with water. Reassemble ensuring a tight seal.

What causes gurgling sounds?

Gurgling sounds are usually caused by a vacuum forming in the drain pipes. The anti-syphon valve in this trap helps prevent this.

What does the 75mm water seal do?

The 75mm water seal provides a barrier against sewer gases and odors, preventing them from entering the room.

How often should I check the trap?

It is advisable to check the trap periodically, especially if you notice any unusual smells or slow draining.

Is any special tool required for installation?

No, standard plumbing tools like a pipe wrench or pliers are generally sufficient for the installation.

Troubleshooting

Gurgling sounds from the drain.

Check for blockages in the trap or drain pipes. Ensure the anti-syphon valve is functioning correctly.

Foul odors emanating from the drain.

Ensure the trap is filled with water. Check for leaks in the connections. Clean the trap if needed.

Slow draining.
