Bottle Traps | Chrome, Black & Brass Basin Bottle Traps

The McAlpine AA10 is a self-ventilating resealing bottle trap — designed for basin and sink installations where secondary ventilation isn't practical. When syphonic conditions occur, the automatic hydraulic action draws air through the bypass columns to break the syphon; once conditions normalise, remaining water falls back to reseal the trap. No mechanical parts, no secondary vent pipe required. Key Features 75mm water seal — superior odour protection; deeper than the standard 50mm seal Self-ventilating / resealing design — eliminates the need for secondary ventilation; no moving parts to fail Adjustable inlet — fits all standard domestic basin and sink wastes 1¼" (32mm) multifit compression outlet — compatible with plastic, copper, and lead waste pipes Polypropylene construction — durable, corrosion-resistant, and chemical-resistant BS EN 274-1:2002 compliant — meets British and European performance standards Technical Specification Model AA10 Type Resealing bottle trap Water Seal 75mm Outlet Size 1¼" (32mm) Outlet Type Multifit compression Inlet Adjustable Material Polypropylene Pipe Compatibility Plastic, copper, lead Standard BS EN 274-1:2002 Weight 0.15kg Brand McAlpine You May Also Need Basin Wastes — Click-clack, pop-up, and slotted basin wastes Basins — Browse our full basin range All Wastes & Drainage — Bath wastes, shower wastes, and traps Frequently Asked Questions What is a resealing bottle trap? A resealing (or self-ventilating) trap is designed to prevent the water seal from being lost under syphonic conditions — where fast-flowing water in the waste pipe creates a vacuum that can suck the water out of a standard trap. The AA10 uses a hydraulic bypass mechanism to break the syphon and allow the trap to reseal automatically, without needing a separate anti-syphon valve or vent pipe. Do I need secondary ventilation with this trap? No — the self-ventilating design of the AA10 eliminates the need for secondary ventilation in most domestic installations. This makes it particularly useful in situations where running a vent pipe is impractical or impossible. Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?

Square bottle traps offer a more contemporary, architectural look that suits modern minimalist bathrooms. They're particularly effective in visible installations beneath wall-hung basins or glass vanity tops, where the trap becomes part of the overall design rather than something to hide. Functionally they perform identically to round bottle traps. Is this trap suitable for all basins? This trap connects to standard UK basin waste fittings and the adjustable height allows it to accommodate different waste outlet and pipe positions. Always check the inlet and outlet sizes match your basin waste and waste pipework before ordering. Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?

Brass bottle traps offer significant advantages over plastic alternatives. The solid brass construction provides superior strength, preventing cracking under stress or temperature changes. Chrome-plated brass resists corrosion from cleaning chemicals and maintains its lustrous appearance indefinitely, while plastic traps can discolour, become brittle, and degrade over time. For installations where the trap is visible, brass delivers a premium aesthetic that complements quality basin and tap finishes. Adjustable Design Benefits The vertical adjustability allows you to accommodate varying basin heights, waste pipe positions, and installation constraints. This flexibility is particularly valuable when replacing existing traps, working with non-standard plumbing configurations, or installing basins at custom heights. The adjustment mechanism maintains a secure, leak-proof seal throughout its range. Installation & Compatibility Designed for round-bottom basins with standard 32mm (1¼") waste outlets. Compatible with slotted and unslotted basin wastes. Suitable for wall-mounted and pedestal basins where vertical space allows. The trap connects to standard 32mm waste pipes using compression fittings. Professional installation recommended, though suitable for competent DIY with basic plumbing knowledge. Maintenance & Cleaning The bottle section unscrews easily for access to the water seal chamber, allowing you to clear blockages, remove debris, or retrieve accidentally dropped items (rings, earrings, etc.) without dismantling the entire trap. Regular cleaning maintains optimal flow and prevents odours. The chrome finish wipes clean with a soft cloth—avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the plating. Applications Perfect for residential bathrooms, en-suites, cloakrooms, commercial washrooms, hotels, offices, and care facilities. Ideal for new installations, bathroom renovations, or replacing worn plastic traps with premium brass alternatives. Particularly suited to visible installations where aesthetics matter.
