What is a 40mm Appliance Trap used for?
An Appliance Trap is a specialized waste fitting used to manage the discharge from domestic appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. Unlike a standard sink trap, it includes a pre-molded “boss” or spigot. This allows the appliance’s flexible corrugated hose to be clamped directly onto the trap, merging the waste into your 40mm kitchen pipework in a space-saving, efficient manner.
Why Choose a Dedicated Appliance Trap?
In modern kitchens and utility rooms, space is often restricted. Using a dedicated Appliance Trap removes the need for a bulky, floor-mounted standpipe. At ECO HEAT SHOP, we supply traps made from high-impact white polypropylene. This material is engineered to withstand the high temperatures and aggressive detergents typically found in appliance discharge, ensuring the trap won’t warp or degrade over time.
Engineered for a Professional Finish
Installing a washing machine shouldn’t lead to leaks or odors. This 40mm fitting features a telescopic neck for height adjustment and a swivel outlet to align perfectly with your wall-mounted waste pipe. It comes complete with a non-return valve or blanking cap, ensuring that if an appliance is removed, the trap remains airtight and watertight.
