SWR Q Trap

Description

The SWR Q Trap is a highly specialized and essential component for creating a hygienic and efficient drainage system. Unlike the more common P Trap, the Q Trap is specifically designed with a unique “Q” shape, which makes it an ideal fit for applications where the branch line outlet is in a vertical position. Made from durable uPVC, this trap reliably maintains a water seal to perform its critical function of blocking gases and pests.

Uses:

• Connecting to a Vertical Outlet: The primary use of the Q Trap is for connecting a fixture (such as a shower drain or a toilet) to a main drainpipe when the main outlet is in a vertical position, typically on the floor.

• Creating a Water Seal: Like other traps, it holds a small amount of water in its curved section, which acts as a physical barrier. This water seal is the most effective way to prevent unpleasant sewer gases from traveling up the pipe and into your home or commercial space.

• Pest Prevention: The water seal also acts as a physical barrier, effectively blocking insects and other small pests from crawling up through the drainage system and entering the building.

Advantages:

• Optimized for Vertical Connections: The unique design of the Q Trap makes it the perfect solution for vertical outlets, ensuring a clean and efficient connection that standard P or S traps may not be able to accommodate. This reduces the need for additional fittings and complex plumbing.

• Superior Odor Control: By maintaining its water seal, the Q Trap ensures that your living and working spaces are free from unpleasant smells, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable environment.

• High Durability and Longevity: As a uPVC fitting, it is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and the chemicals found in detergents, cleaners, and wastewater. This robust construction ensures a long service life and high reliability.

• Simplified Installation: The all-in-one design simplifies the installation process for vertical outlets, saving time and labor.
