Bottle trap
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000706
A compact plumbing fitting installed beneath a basin or sink to prevent sewer gases from entering a room. Its two-piece cylindrical design, which resembles a bottle, holds a water seal similar to a P-trap but in a more aesthetically pleasing form suitable for exposed installations. The lower section of the trap can be unscrewed from the main body, providing easy access for cleaning out debris and clearing blockages without dismantling the entire pipework.
