Trap Inlets
When Connecting the Trap Inlet to the Waste Outlet, it is important to ensure that a proper 'seating' is obtained and it is therefore recommended that the Waste Outlet used be to British Standard or equivalent, otherwise difficulty may be experienced in obtaining a water tight joint. Although all traps are supplied complete with Inlet Washers, it is nevertheless recommended that a suitable Jointing Compound be used.
Trap Outlets (Multifit)
For use with Plastic Pipes to BS5254 and BS5255, Copper Pipe (metric or imperial) and Lead pipe. Fit as follows:
