Why Choose Brass Over Plastic?
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.
