SWR U Trap – 4″ (110mm)

Description

The SWR U Trap, sized 4″ (110mm), is a critical component for any sanitary drainage system. Its unique “U” shape is expertly engineered to maintain a water seal, which is its primary function: to block harmful and foul-smelling sewer gases from a building’s main sewer line from re-entering the living space. Made from durable, high-grade uPVC, this trap provides a reliable and long-lasting solution for both residential and commercial applications.

Uses:

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

• Fixture Connection: It is commonly used to connect the drain outlet of a fixture (such as a toilet) to the main waste pipe, particularly in layouts where a straight connection is not possible.

• 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:

• Reliable Odor Control: The U Trap is a reliable 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.

• 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 U 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.

• Versatile Applications: The U Trap is a versatile solution for a wide range of plumbing layouts, particularly where a U-shaped bend is required to connect a fixture to a drainpipe.
