Manufacturer guidance

Selected accessories are listed alongside the specific components e.g. traps.


Dedicated installation tools are also available e.g. pipe-size-specific groove cutting tool, pipe cutter or spanner; or a hand tool for making socket fusion joints in 38 mm pipe.

Traps

Anti-siphon bottle trap (W561).

Guidance for specification option:

Retaining its seal under the most demanding conditions this trap is completely dependable and is ideal for the most severe conditions.

  • With a 76 mm liquid seal, the base can be unscrewed from the body for easy cleaning.
  • Has an adjustable height inlet for easier connection to Vulcathene waste pipe.
  • Provided with a purple-coloured 1½" BSP loose nut coupling for screwing to waste or drip cup tails, the ‘P’ outlet is supplied with nut and olive to take 38 mm Vulcathene mechanical pipe.
  • When required a W291/L291A 38 mm bend will convert it to an ‘S’ trap.

Dilution recovery trap/ adjustable inlet (W681).

Guidance for specification option:

  • Easily emptied, by unscrewing the base from the trap, this large capacity anti-siphonic dilution recovery trap has a 76 mm liquid seal and holds 2.3 litres.
  • The trap has an adjustable height inlet for easier connection to Vulcathene waste pipe.
  • The 1½" purple-coloured BSP inlet includes a loose nut coupling for connection to a waste outlet or drip cup tail.
  • Supplied with a nut and olive to enable it to be ‘P’ trap configured for 38 mm pipe.
  • The addition of a W291 38 mm bend will change the configuration to an ‘S’ trap. 

Dilution recovery trap with glass base (W691).

Guidance for specification option:

  • The 691 trap has a total capacity of 2.3 litres and a 76 mm liquid seal.
  • The clear base of heat-resistant borosilicate glass makes it suitable for use in waste systems which have to cope with large quantities of solid waste matter.
  • The trap allows the volume of solids collected to be quickly assessed and, where necessary, cleared, before they can cause any damage to the system. It also allows the identification and recovery of valuable solids.
  • In order to remove the dilution chamber from the trap body, the glass unit should be unscrewed complete with its flange assembly.
  • The 1½" BSP inlet includes a loose nut coupling for connection to a waste outlet or drip cup tail.
  • The trap is supplied with a nut and olive to enable it to be ‘P’ trap configured for 38 mm pipe.
  • The addition of a W291 38 mm bend will change the configuration to an ‘S’ trap.
  • When installed it is important to support the underside of the trap (at least 76 mm above the floor) to avoid weight strain on the pipework and connections.

Anti-siphon bottle trap with glass base (W571).

Guidance for specification option:

  • Retaining its seal under the most demanding conditions this trap is completely dependable and is suitable for the most severe conditions.
  • With a 76 mm liquid seal, the base can be unscrewed from the body for easy cleaning.
  • Provided with a 1½" BSP loose nut coupling for screwing to waste or drip cup tails, the ‘P’ outlet is supplied with nut and olive to take 38 mm Vulcathene mechanical pipe.
  • When required a W291/L291A 38 mm bend will convert it to an ‘S’ trap.
  • The clear base of heat-resistant borosilicate glass makes this suitable for use in waste systems which have to cope with large quantities of solid waste matter.
  • The trap allows the volume of solids collected to be quickly assessed and, where necessary, cleared, before they can cause any damage to the system. It also allows the identification and recovery of valuable solids.

Dilution recovery trap (W612).

Guidance for specification option:

  • 4.5 litre capacity and a 76 mm trap seal means the W612 is particularly useful for those situations where under-bench height is limited.
  • When cleaning out the unit, union nuts on the lid should be disconnected, the dip tubes withdrawn and the interior of the dilution chamber carefully flushed out.
  • No attempt should be made to separate the lid from the dilution chamber.
  • For a ‘P’ outlet, a 51 mm nut and olive is supplied, and for an ‘S’ outlet, add a W292 51 mm bend.
  • Where it is intended to use the unit as a dilution chamber only, the dip tubes should be omitted.
  • Supplied with dip tubes, nuts, olives and blanking off plug. (Additional dip tubes and blanking off plugs can be ordered separately).

  • Both ends have standard nut and olive connections.

92.5° loose nut sweep bend (W29x).

Guidance for specification option:

Consult manufacturer's literature for options and insert requirements.

  • Available for nominal sizes 38, 51, 76 and 102 mm.
  • One end has the standard nut and olive connection whilst the other has a captive nut for connection to threaded units.

135° loose nut slow bend (W21x).

Guidance for specification option:

Consult manufacturer's literature for options and insert requirements.

  • Available for nominal sizes 38, 51, 76 and 102 mm.
  • One end has the standard nut and olive connection whilst the other has a captive nut for connection to threaded units.

'U' bends (W70).

Guidance for specification option:

Consult manufacturer's literature for options and insert requirements.

  • Available in 38 and 51 mm sizes, the ‘U’ bend can be combined with other standard fittings from the range to make up ‘P’, ‘S’ and running traps with a 76 mm trap seal.
  • In order to make up both ‘P’ and ‘S’ configurations the addition of a length of Vulcathene mechanical pipe, and a W15 coupler, to one end enables it to be connected to the waste fitting whilst the addition of a W29 loose nut sweep bend converts it into a ‘P’ trap. The addition of a further W29 make it into a ‘S’ trap.
  • Connecting a W29 to each end of the ‘U’ bend makes up a running trap.
