The McAlpine STW6-95 is a high-performance shower trap designed for homeowners and professional plumbers who require a reliable solution for high-flow shower installations. It excels at managing large volumes of water while preventing sewer odors from entering the bathroom, though its robust 50mm seal depth requires sufficient clearance space beneath your shower tray or bathtub for successful installation.

Yes, the 1.5-inch Multifit connection is compatible with most standard 40mm waste pipe systems.
It is recommended to check and clean the removable grid every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if you notice drainage slowing down.
The 50mm seal is a requirement for many building regulations to ensure a deeper, safer barrier against sewer odors compared to shallower traps.
The bend is supplied to assist with specific pipe orientations, but it should be fixed securely once the desired angle is achieved during installation.
While designed for showers, it can be used for bathtubs provided there is enough depth beneath the tub to accommodate the unit.
Yes, the unit comes with the 95-degree bend, BSP coupling nut, and necessary sealing components.
Remove the top grid and check for hair or debris accumulation inside the trap bowl.
Ensure the water seal is full. If the shower hasn't been used in a while, the water may have evaporated; run the shower to replenish the seal.
Check that the coupling nut is tightened securely and verify that the internal rubber gasket is seated properly and not damaged.
Installation should occur beneath the shower tray or bathtub. Ensure the surface is level and that you have verified the depth requirements for the 50mm seal before final sealing.
For care, periodically unscrew or lift the removable grid to clear debris. Avoid using caustic, heavy-duty chemical drain cleaners, as these can degrade the internal components over time. Instead, use a simple plastic drain snake or flush with hot, soapy water if flow begins to slow.
