Professional Guide to Choosing Your Drainage Traps

When you start a renovation or simply need to replace an old part, choosing correctly among different drainage traps makes the difference between a simple installation and a constant headache. Not all drains are the same, nor do they require the same type of hydraulics. The main function is always the same: to create a water seal that blocks the passage of air from the sewage system into the house.

To make the right purchase, the first thing you should consider is the available space. It's not the same to look for traps for wall-mounted basins, where aesthetics are very important and the part is visible, as it is to look for a kitchen sink trap that will be hidden inside a cabinet. In the latter case, we usually recommend space-saving models that move the trap body towards the wall so you can use the lower cabinet for a trash can or cleaning products.

Types of Models According to Their Shape and Utility

In our online store catalog, you will find a variety adapted to every technical need of the house:

• Bottle traps: these are the most common for the bathroom, they take up little vertical space and are very easy to clean by unscrewing the base.
• P-traps or S-traps: ideal for when the water flow is greater, as their curved shape facilitates a smoother and faster water passage.
• Extendable and flexible traps: the salvation in renovations where wall connections do not exactly match the sanitary drain, allowing the pipe to be adapted with complete freedom.
• Designer basin traps: usually made of chrome-plated brass, designed to be visible and add an elegant touch to the bathroom.

Key Features for a Successful Installation

When comparing models, always look at the connection diameter. The usual for bathrooms, especially when looking for basin traps, is a measurement of thirty-two millimeters, while in the kitchen or for utility rooms, forty millimeters is normal. If you need to connect the washing machine or dishwasher drain, make sure to buy a sink trap that includes the auxiliary side connection: this will save you from having to add extra parts and prevent possible leaks.

At Brikum, we care about the quality of materials. Polypropylene models are excellent for their resistance to chemicals and high water temperatures, in addition to having a very competitive price. On the other hand, if you are looking for extreme durability and aesthetics, metallic basin traps are the best long-term investment.

How to Maintain Your Traps

You don't have to be an expert to keep your plumbing in good shape. The design of current traps allows for very simple preventative maintenance. If you notice that the water drains slowly, most of our models allow you to unscrew the bottom part manually, without the need for heavy tools. Cleaning accumulated residue every few months will prevent major clogs and extend the lifespan of your basin and sink traps.

Remember that if the trap dries out due to lack of use, as can happen in guest bathrooms or second homes, the water seal disappears and odors will enter. Simply run a little water periodically to make the system effective again.
