Lineal Bottle Trap - Versatile, Easy-Install Trap for Basins, Bidets & Renovations

Lineal Bottle Trap

The Lineal Bottle Trap is an innovative and time-saving solution designed for easy installation on basins, bidets, and a variety of other plumbing fixtures. Perfect for both new installations and renovations, this trap simplifies the process by allowing easy connection to a 40mm DWV pipe, offering a one-man installation solution. With an offset inlet and no mid-joint nut, it’s particularly useful in confined spaces like pedestal basins or bidet setups where space is limited.

Key Features:

• High Flow Rate: Capable of handling up to 50 litres per minute, ensuring efficient drainage for a variety of plumbing applications.
• Compact Dimensions: With dimensions of 76mm wide and 200mm high, the Lineal Bottle Trap is designed to fit seamlessly into tight spaces.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for use with basins, bidets, bar sinks, showers, air conditioning tundish systems, and even boats, offering a wide range of installation possibilities.
• Easy Retrieval of Small Items: Jewellery and similar small items accidentally dropped into sinks remain visible and retrievable from the top of the trap.
• Renovation-Friendly: Ideal for bathroom renovations where a WC waste pipe can be converted into a shower waste without the need for major plumbing alterations, such as jackhammering concrete floors or redoing existing stackwork.
• Bidet Installation Optimized: Designed without a mid-joint nut or bottom-seal nut, making installation in confined spaces easier. The offset top and bottom from the central axis allow the trap to fit inside a 100mm diameter pipe.
• Reducer Compatibility: Can be used with standard 100mm x 50mm and 50mm x 40mm reducers, allowing installation under bidets with 100mm diameter pipes, where part of the trap can rest below floor level.

For Basin Installation

• Prepare the Waste Pipe: The waste pipe must be well bevelled using a deburr or round file and then lubricated before fitting the trap.
• Installation Flexibility: The trap can be fitted to the pipe first and then tightened to the basin, or it can be attached to the basin first and then lowered onto the pipe, which is especially helpful for fully enclosed pedestal basins.
• Swivel Nut: The swivel nut only needs to be hand-tightened, and the "O" ring seal requires 15mm of engagement to allow for easy installation and removal.

To Open Trap

• Opening Mechanism: Twist to open the trap using a screwdriver as a lever.

To Reassemble Trap

• Reassemble Instructions: Locate the "O" ring on the inverted inlet tube and lube the outer housing with liquid soap or a similar lubricant. Fit the parts together and twist until the plastic faces meet.

For Bidet Installation

• Set the Drainage: The drainage should be installed with 100mm diameter PVC pipes.
• Reducer Installation: Glue a 100mm x 50mm reducer and a 50mm x 40mm reducer together, ensuring that the eccentrics are opposite to each other.
• Height Calculation: Calculate the height of the reducers and glue them below the floor level inside the 100mm diameter pipe.
• Prepare the 40mm Pipe: Bevel and lubricate the 40mm diameter pipe, then glue it into position below the floor inside the 100mm diameter pipe.
• Fit the Trap: Attach the Lineal Trap to the bidet first and then lower it over the 40mm pipe for final installation.
