FloPlast Telescopic Adjustable Height P Trap - 40mm White

Telescopic P traps are used when some flexibility is required with the connection to the waste pipe. The telescopic neck of the trap slides up and down within the trap body to vary the height of the outlet.

This trap has a deep 76mm seal.

This trap is manufactured by FloPlast, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of above and below ground drainage systems. It can be connected to most UK manufacturers’ push fit and solvent weld waste pipes.

To connect the trap, always start at the top with the connection to the waste fitting. If the installation is particularly tight we suggest assembling all connections loosely before finally tightening all nuts once the trap is in position.

First you should ensure that the O ring is correctly seated on its lug inside the top trap nut. Push the lug inside the waste fitting and tighten the nut by hand. Do not overtighten as this could damage the O ring. To connect the other end to the waste pipe, unscrew the nut from the trap and remove it along with the washer and the rubber seal. Place these three components over the end of the pipe – first the nut, then the washer followed by the seal. Push the pipe into the trap as far as it will go, slide the seal and washer forward into position and tighten the nut. On all traps, double check that the central joint in the body of the trap is tight. On telescopic traps, double check that the additional joint at the trap neck is tight.

All joints can be taken apart again if required, but always check that the rubber seal has not been damaged in any way as this will cause the joint to leak.
