Basin Traps

The bottle trap is an essential element of the basin’s plumbing that keeps the bathroom hygienic and odour free. When we use the basin, the used water goes down through the basin waste and into the drainage pipe and then eventually into the sewer.

The name ‘trap’ derives from how this pipe prevents odours from travelling back up into the bathroom. It works by filling up with new water when the water gushes down, and thus always remains filled with a certain amount of water. When the sewer gases waft up through the system, the water within the bottle traps prevents waste and gas from entering your bathroom. It is thus a necessary bathroom accessory in order to maintain bathroom hygiene.

A P trap is a type of bottle trap and features a bend pipe that is used in drain pipes to connect your sink’s drain directly to the sewer system of septic tank. They allow for neat installation that is totally hidden by the pedestal of the basin. These traps also make it easy for homeowners to retrieve small items that have fallen into the drain.

If your plumbing trap will be visible, it’s important that it seamlessly blends into the rest of your bathroom’s style and décor. For example, if your bathroom features touches of black, a black basin trap will achieve a cohesively stylish look.
