SWR S Trap

Description

The SWR S Trap is a fundamental component of any sanitary drainage system, particularly for fixtures where the waste outlet is on the floor. Made from high-grade uPVC, this trap’s unique “S” shape allows it to maintain a critical water seal, which is its primary function: to block harmful and foul-smelling sewer gases from a home’s or building’s main sewer line from re-entering the living space.

Uses:

• Floor-Mounted Fixtures: The S Trap is specifically designed for fixtures like toilets that have a vertical waste outlet on the floor. The S-shaped bend allows the pipe to drop down into the floor and then turn horizontally to connect with the main drainage line.

• Blocking Sewer Gases: The main purpose of the S Trap is to hold a small amount of water in its lower curve. This water creates a physical barrier, effectively stopping gases and odors from flowing back up the pipe and into the room, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment.

• 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 Outlets: The unique design of the S Trap makes it the perfect solution for floor-mounted fixtures, ensuring a clean and efficient connection that standard P or Q traps may not be able to accommodate.

• Reliable Odor Control: By maintaining its water seal, the S 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.

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: The robust design of the S Trap, combined with the secure jointing method, ensures a tight and leak-proof connection that will not fail under the pressures of a drainage system.
