Bottle Traps

A bottle trap sits beneath the basin waste and creates a water seal that stops odours coming back up the waste pipe. The “bottle” shape hides the internal bend inside a compact body, which is why they’re popular for modern bathrooms where you can see the plumbing. They’re also handy in tighter spaces, as the trap can take up less room than some traditional traps, depending on the layout and pipe positions.

Main benefits and common use cases

• Helps prevent drain smells with a reliable water seal.
• Creates a cleaner look under wall-hung, semi pedestal, and countertop basins.
• Useful for cloakrooms and ensuites where pipework is visible and space is tight.
• Supports a consistent fitted look when used alongside Back to Wall Toilet Cabinets and matching brassware.
