Description

What is a 40mm Telescopic P Trap with 38mm Seal?

A 40mm telescopic P trap is a specialized plumbing fitting used to connect a kitchen or utility sink to the waste system. The “P” configuration is the most common shape for ensuring a smooth, high-flow discharge of water. The telescopic feature allows for several inches of vertical travel, which is essential when fitting a new sink that is deeper or shallower than the one it replaced. This telescopic P trap simplifies the installation process by removing the need for awkward extensions.

Why Choose a 38mm Water Seal?

While a 76mm seal is common, a 38mm water seal (often referred to as a 1.5-inch seal) is frequently used in ground-floor plumbing or in situations where space beneath the sink is extremely limited. It provides a reliable liquid barrier against sewer gases while maintaining a significantly lower profile than “Deep Seal” traps. This makes this 40mm P trap the go-to solution for installers dealing with high-level wall outlets where a taller trap would sit too low to allow the water to drain away correctly.

Durable Construction for Demanding Kitchens

At ECO HEAT SHOP, we understand that kitchen plumbing deals with high temperatures and grease. This 40mm telescopic P trap is manufactured from premium white polypropylene, which is resistant to boiling water and corrosive household chemicals. The high-quality compression nuts and tapered rubber washers ensure a robust, leak-free connection that can be tightened by hand—saving you time and reducing the risk of damaging the plastic threads.

Technical Specification & Installation Tips

  • Product Name: Telescopic P Trap

  • Pipe Diameter: 40mm (Standard 1 1/2″ Kitchen Waste)

  • Water Seal Depth: 38mm (Low Profile)

  • Material: Heavy-Duty White Polypropylene

  • Connection Type: Multi-fit Compression

  • Installation Advice: When installing your 40mm telescopic P trap, ensure the telescopic section is pushed in straight to avoid pinching the O-ring. Always check that the sink waste is clean before attaching the trap. Hand-tightening is recommended; if you experience a minor weep, check the alignment of the washer rather than over-tightening with a wrench.
