Standard plumbing P-trap
First of all, a standard trap connects a compatible fixture outlet to the specified waste line while retaining a water seal.

P-Trap fittings for plumbing waste systems
In addition, S K Metal supplies plumbing traps for buyers who need a compatible fixture-waste connection with a retained water seal.
Moreover, each trap must match the fixture outlet, waste connection, material, seal depth, centreline dimensions and approved installation method. However, dimensions and code requirements vary by application and location. Therefore, the plumbing designer or installer should confirm suitability before ordering or installation.

Types and configurations
Choose the correct P-Trap configuration
First of all, confirm the fixture and waste connection sizes. Then verify material, seal depth, geometry, cleanout and joint type.
Trap with cleanout
In addition, a cleanout arrangement can provide access where the approved plumbing design requires it.
Discuss cleanout requirements →Adjustable trap assembly
However, adjustable components must maintain correct alignment, seal depth and leak-tight connections after installation.
Provide connection dimensions →Threaded-connection trap
Moreover, threaded or compression-type ends must match the mating component and approved sealing method.
Request dimensional review →Commercial fixture trap
Furthermore, commercial enquiries should identify fixture type, material, finish and maintenance requirements.
Discuss project requirements →Custom P-Trap
Finally, drawing-based inlet, outlet, seal, centreline and end details can be reviewed for project requirements.

How to specify a P-Trap
Therefore, a complete specification helps prevent errors in fixture connection, waste outlet, seal depth, centreline geometry and joint requirements.
- Connection sizes
- First of all, provide the fixture inlet and waste outlet sizes with mating connection details.
- Trap geometry
- Next, state the seal depth, centreline offsets, overall height, reach and dimensional tolerances.
- Configuration
- Also confirm fixed or adjustable pattern, cleanout requirement and installation orientation.
- Material & finish
- Moreover, identify the required material, wall or gauge, surface finish and project specification.
- End connections
- In addition, specify threaded, compression, soldered or other approved joint arrangements.
- Application data
- Finally, provide fixture type, waste service, applicable plumbing requirements and installation location.
- Quantity & delivery
- Therefore, include piece quantity, packaging, inspection, delivery city and required date.
Important: Do not select a plumbing trap from size alone. Therefore, the designer or licensed installer should approve material, seal depth, venting, connections and code compliance.
Applications
Applications of P-Trap fittings
Because fixtures and regulations differ, the correct trap depends on connection sizes, seal requirements, material and installation conditions.
Wash basins
For example, compatible traps connect basin waste outlets to approved sanitary drainage lines.
Kitchen sinks
Moreover, sink installations require suitable size, material, seal depth and maintenance access.
Utility sinks
In addition, approved traps can serve compatible laundry or utility fixtures.
Commercial washrooms
Furthermore, project specifications may define material, finish, cleanout and fixture compatibility.
Custom plumbing assemblies
However, centreline dimensions and end connections must match the approved waste layout.
OEM assemblies
Therefore, repeat components should be approved by drawing, sample, tolerance and inspection criteria.
Quality and documentation
Verify trap dimensions and installation requirements
Before ordering, define the inlet, outlet, seal, centreline, material and connection checks required for the exact P-Trap. In addition, when copper connections are specified, designers can review the Copper Tube Handbook for general joining guidance.

- Seal depth, reach and centreline checks
- Surface, finish and workmanship review
- Material and inspection documents when quoted
- Orientation, packaging and component identification

Frequently asked questions
P-Trap FAQs
What is a P-Trap used for?
In general, it connects a plumbing fixture to a waste line while retaining a water seal intended to limit sewer-gas passage.
Which dimensions are required for a quotation?
In addition, provide inlet and outlet sizes, seal depth, reach, overall height, material, end connections and tolerances.
Does every fixture use the same trap size?
No. However, the required size depends on the fixture, drainage design and applicable plumbing rules.
Can a cleanout be included?
Availability depends on trap size, material and configuration. Therefore, state the cleanout position and project requirement before quotation.
Who should approve the installation?
In general, a qualified plumbing designer or licensed installer should confirm sizing, seal depth, venting, connections and local code compliance.
Can inspection documents be requested?
Yes, but availability varies by order. Therefore, list material, dimensional, inspection and traceability requirements before quotation.
