bottle trap
Bottle trap is a name used for several different objects. Among these are a device used in bathroom plumbing, as well as various traps that are made out of empty plastic bottles and which are used to trap animals as different as beetles, mice, fish and octopuses. This article is about the use of modified bottles to trap flying insects.
In this context, a bottle trap is a type of baited arboreal insect trap for collecting either prized or harmful frugivorous beetles, especially flower beetles, leaf chafers and longhorn beetles as well as wasps and other unwanted flying insects.
A while ago I replaced a leaky, corroded sink trap. That all appears to be fine, I can't find any leaks with it, and everything under the sink appears to be consistently dry.
The problem I have is that there appears to be a leak where the waste pipe out from the bottle trap meets the wall...
The Basin bottle trap is in bad condition and begin to loose water due to corrosion (I believe it is lead). May I use pattex putty paste or collak as an emergency solution? How can I loosen the bottle trap nuts? They are so rusty and calcified I am afraid they may break if try to unscrew them...
Just about to start on our new main bathroom and have chosen a wall mounted sink with decorative black bottle trap which heads into the wall. As I have multiple wastes going into one stack pipe I would like to connect the sink waste into the bath waste feed to the stack… I’m worried about...
Anyone know if there is a bottle trap connection tube minimum length?
(The pipe between the trap and the basin)
I would like mine as short as posible so the trap is less obvious.
Just wondered if I could cut it really short or does there have to be minimum drop distance before the trap for good...

Hello!
I normally fix things at home and opening a basin trap is a quite easy thing, but I don’t sleep to find the way to open the bottom part of this metal basin trap that has no grip at all.
Any clues?
It’s a Hudson Reed model: Elizabeth.
Thanks on advance!
Pd: I already tried some WD40 with...
Hi, I have a 1970s vintage bottle trap waste under the sink and had to unscrew the bottom cap to clean out a blockage. I noticed the rubber seal on this cap which appears to be a 50mm or 2 inch flat o-ring affair is starting to deteriorate.
can anyone recommend a work around or replacement...
Hi there,
I’ve had a small leak from my bottle trap in the bathroom sink after the tap is turned off, which I understand is a bottle trap issue. It’s quite old, so I bought a new one from Screwfix (32mm).
However when I tried to replace it, it doesn’t fit. The new bottle trap does not fit on...
Having just replaced my bathroom basin tap, I thought I would check and clean all the outlet fittings and seals, including a plastic bottle trap (don't know what make, but it was from B&Q about 5 years ago). Now, water runs away very, very slowly - just a trickle. Loosening the bottom of the...
Hi, I am going insane with this issue.
I recentrly removed a McAlpine Anti Syphon Bottle trap from my basin, and purchased an identical one from Screwfix.
This is the item. http://www.mcalpineplumbing.com/1-188-anti-syphon-bottle-trap.html?id=943
But, I had to return it because I couldn't...
Have came across these shallow seal bottle traps on a basin in a vanity unit, was just wondering are these suitable for this application and what other applications could you use them for. Am I right in saying they only have a 38mm seal? Would this make them more prone to syphonage?
How do I connect a bottle trap to a Reginox sink?? Something I thought would be easy!

Hello
I've just had a new bathroom fitted and we have a problem with the bottle trap in the basin which is leaking from one of the joints, and also seemingly from the thread between the bottle trap and the click clack waste. The plumber has been back to look at it, the first thing he did was...
Hi all, I'm a newbie here and have joined after googling my problem but am unable to find a solution as yet. Our bathroom sink was draining very slowly so yesterday I unscrewed the bottle trap. It was quite gunked up so I gave it a good clean and replaced it, but now the sink won't drain at all...

I a fitting a bathroom basin which is semi recessed into units. I picked up a simple bottle trap but when I looked at the height of the outlet it would go straight through the bracing bar on the back of the unit. I have put an outlet hole in the wall about two inches lower to avoid the bracing...

But I will ask anyway.
If a basin waste pipe is too high for any conventional trap outlet when fitted to a new basin is there anything you can do to sort it other than drill a new waste or raise the basin on some mdf?
