The McAlpine E10 Bottle Trap with 38 mm Seal (1 1/4") is a compact and reliable waste fitting used under bathroom and kitchen basins. It connects the basin outlet to the waste pipe while providing a water seal that prevents sewer gases from entering the room.

Function & Purpose

This bottle trap forms a U-shaped water seal beneath the sink. Water held in the trap creates a barrier that blocks unpleasant odours and gases from the drainage system. The trap also collects small debris that might otherwise travel into the drain, making it easier to clear blockages when needed.

Compatibility

The trap is designed for 1 1/4" (38 mm) connections, which are common on basins, hand basins, and similar fixtures. It works with standard waste pipe sizes and suits typical domestic bathroom or utility room installations.

Design & Build Quality

The McAlpine E10 bottle trap is made from durable, corrosion-resistant plastic, providing long-term performance in wet environments. Its compact bottle design is ideal where space is limited under the basin, and the smooth interior helps prevent buildup while allowing easy cleaning.

Ideal Applications

This bottle trap is ideal for bathroom and utility basins where a reliable water seal and tidy installation are required. It is suitable for new installations, replacements, and refurbishments where a standard 38 mm waste connection is used. The simple design makes it easy for installers to fit without specialist tools.
