Why Traps Are Essential
Waste traps serve two critical functions in your plumbing system:
- Odour Prevention - The water seal (typically 75mm in UK installations) blocks sewer gases from entering your home
- Debris Collection - The trap chamber catches items accidentally dropped down the drain, preventing them from entering the waste system
- Easy Maintenance - Most traps unscrew for easy cleaning and blockage removal
Choosing the Right Trap
When selecting a trap, consider:
- Trap Type - Bottle traps for basins, P-traps for wall outlets, S-traps for floor outlets

- Adjustability - Fixed or adjustable height depending on installation flexibility needed
