SWR Bell Mouth Trap

Description

The SWR Bell Mouth Trap is a specialized and highly effective component for managing external surface water drainage. Made from durable uPVC, this trap is expertly engineered to handle large volumes of rainwater while also providing a critical barrier against unpleasant sewer gases. Its unique design makes it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial properties.

Uses:

• Collecting Surface Water: The primary use of the Bell Mouth Trap is to collect rainwater from a variety of external areas, such as roofs via downpipes, paved yards, or balconies. Its wide, bell-shaped opening efficiently captures large volumes of water, preventing water from pooling and causing potential damage.

• Creating a Water Seal: Like other traps, it maintains a water seal in its curved section. This physical barrier is crucial for preventing foul sewer gases from a home’s or building’s main sewer line from escaping into the environment, ensuring a safe and hygienic outdoor space.

• Streamlining External Drainage: It serves as a central point where multiple external drain lines can converge before the water is directed into the main sewer line or a soakaway pit.

Advantages:

• Superior Water Intake: The “bell mouth” design is highly efficient at collecting water, especially in heavy rainfall. This feature helps prevent flooding and ensures rapid drainage, which is essential for protecting a property’s foundation and landscaping.

• Reliable Odor Control: By maintaining its water seal, the trap effectively contains sewer odors, ensuring a pleasant and hygienic outdoor environment. The bell-mouth design also helps to reduce the risk of the water seal evaporating, as it holds a larger volume of water compared to some other traps.

• High Durability and Longevity: As a uPVC fitting, it is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and the chemicals found in typical drainage. It is built to withstand exposure to the elements and the rigors of external use, guaranteeing a long service life.

• Easy Access for Maintenance: The bell mouth opening provides easy access for cleaning and inspection, making it simple to remove any leaves, silt, or other debris that may have collected and ensure the trap remains functional.
