The Polypipe Trap/Compression Inlet Washer – 32 mm is a small but essential plumbing accessory used in waste and trap assemblies. It forms part of a compression joint and helps create a secure, watertight seal where 32 mm waste pipe enters a trap or fitting.

Function & Purpose

In a compression-type connection, the inlet washer sits between the pipe and the compression nut inside a trap or fitting. When the compression nut is tightened, the washer compresses around the pipe to form a reliable seal. This prevents leaks at the joint and ensures that wastewater flows smoothly into the trap and onward to the drain.

Compatibility

This inlet washer is designed for use with 32 mm waste pipe and compatible compression fittings, such as bottle traps, bends, tees, and connectors that use compression joints. It is suitable for typical domestic bathroom and kitchen drainage systems.

Design & Build Quality

The washer is made from durable, flexible material that can withstand normal waste water pressures and maintain a watertight seal over time. It is specifically shaped and sized for 32 mm pipework to ensure a snug, leak-resistant fit in standard compression traps and fittings.

Ideal Applications

This 32 mm compression inlet washer is ideal for use in basin, sink, shower, and bath waste assemblies where compression joints are used. It’s commonly fitted inside traps and other drainage fittings to help prevent leaks and ensure secure connections in domestic plumbing installations.
