The water trap provides a water seal between the appliance and the external drains or outside atmosphere. The water trap will prevent smells, insects and bacteria coming back up the waste pipework into your building. The trap will only work and prevent smells when it has water inside which provides the water seal.
The size of the trap will depend on the type of appliance and the size of your waste pipework. Generally, the following types of appliances use a standard size waste trap and waste pipework:. Sizes stated are based on the internal pipe diameter, external pipe diameters may vary between different manufacturers and may not always be interchangeable.
