S Traps

S-Traps are plumbing traps designed to prevent foul odors and sewer gases from entering a building while allowing wastewater to flow from toilets, sinks, and other fixtures. Their characteristic S-shaped bend retains a water seal that effectively blocks gases.

About S-Traps

S-Traps are commonly made from durable materials such as PVC, uPVC, or metal, offering long-lasting performance. They are typically used in floor-mounted installations, such as toilets, where the outlet aligns with the soil pipe below. The S-shaped bend ensures a continuous water seal, providing reliable odor prevention and safe wastewater discharge.
