INTRODUCTION

The trap, also known as a p-trap or an s-trap, is the curved section of pipe located under your kitchen sink's drain that serves an essential but sometimes overlooked purpose. A professional Plumber in Sacramento should be called in for occasional repairs and unclogging.

FOLLOWINGAREEXAMPLESOFVARIOUSFORMSOFTRAPS:

01.P-TRAP

The p-trap is so named because the entire assembly, including the pipe into the wall, resembles a capital P, even though the curve beneath the sink is more commonly perceived as a U. As its name implies, a p-trap is designed to capture liquids in the trough created by the pipe's downward slope.

02.FLOORTRAP

Floor traps, also known as Nahni traps, are installed in the subfloor to collect wastewater from places like bathtubs, sinks, showers, and washing machines.

03.GULLYTRAP

The sewage from the building is directed into a gully trap outside before it enters the main sewer line. Drainage from the bathtub, shower, and kitchen sinks is also collected.

04.P,Q,ANDS

Depending on their configuration, traps can be categorized as P, Q, or S. They are simply U-shaped tube filled with water that serves as a barrier between the toxic gas and the outside air.

05.INTERCEPTINGTRAP

The Interceptor Manhole comes equipped with an intercepting trap (Interceptor Chamber). When a private sewer system meets a public sewer system, a manhole called an interceptor is installed.

06.BOTTLETRAP

In the event that a washbasin, kitchen sink, or other device has a built-in trap, a bottle trap is given to collect the trash.
