SWR P Trap (Wash Basin Sink)

Description

The SWR P Trap for a wash basin or sink is a fundamental and critical component of any sanitary drainage system. Its simple yet brilliant “P” shaped design is a cornerstone of modern plumbing, ensuring that your indoor environment remains safe, hygienic, and odor-free. Made from high-grade uPVC, this trap is specifically engineered to perform its vital function with exceptional reliability and longevity.

Uses:

• Blocking Sewer Gases: The primary use of a P Trap is to maintain a water seal in its curved section. This physical barrier stops harmful and foul-smelling sewer gases from a building’s main sewer line from re-entering through the wash basin or sink drain.

• Catching Debris: The trap’s curved design also serves a secondary purpose by catching small items that are accidentally dropped down the drain, such as jewelry or bottle caps, making them easier to retrieve. It also helps to collect a certain amount of hair and other debris, preventing them from traveling further down the pipe and causing a deeper, more difficult-to-clear clog.

• Fixture Connection: It is a standard fitting used to connect the drain outlet of a wash basin or kitchen sink to the main waste pipe in the wall.

Advantages:

• Superior Odor Control: The P Trap is the most reliable and effective solution for preventing the backflow of sewer gases. By maintaining its water seal, it ensures that your living and working spaces are free from unpleasant smells, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable environment.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: As a uPVC fitting, it is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and a wide range of chemicals found in detergents, cleaners, and wastewater. This robust construction ensures a long service life and high reliability.

• Easy Installation and Maintenance: P Traps are lightweight, easy to handle, and simple to install. They are designed for straightforward connection and, in many cases, can be disassembled for cleaning, making it easy to clear minor clogs.

• High Durability: The robust construction of the fitting ensures it can withstand the pressures and stresses of a functioning drainage system, providing a secure and leak-proof connection for many years.
