P Traps

P-Traps are a type of plumbing trap designed to prevent foul odors and sewer gases from entering a building while allowing wastewater to flow from sinks, baths, and other fixtures. Their distinctive P-shaped bend holds a water seal that blocks gases effectively.

About P-Traps

P-Traps are commonly made from durable materials such as PVC, uPVC, brass, or chrome-plated metal. They are widely used in domestic and commercial installations due to their reliability, ease of installation, and maintenance. P-Traps are compatible with standard pipe diameters and provide a straightforward, effective solution for maintaining hygiene and odor control in plumbing systems.
