Traps

Traps are essential plumbing components designed to prevent foul odors and gases from entering buildings while allowing wastewater to flow freely from sinks, baths, toilets, and other fixtures. They create a water seal that blocks sewer gases, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment.

About Traps

Traps are available in various designs, including P-traps, S-traps, shower traps, and trap accessories, each suited to different plumbing applications. They are typically made from durable materials such as PVC, uPVC, brass, or chrome-plated metal, offering long-lasting performance. Properly installed traps maintain a reliable water seal and are compatible with standard pipe diameters and fittings.
