Shallow shower traps - Plumbing Forum | Plumbers Forums

Lee · 02-01-2008

Has any body come accross a shallow running trap, no more 6 inches in total height, ie somthing similar to a shallow bath trap but with 40mm compression joints each end. Its for a log cabin so going down beneath the under floor level is not an option.
There is now concern that the running trap fitted outside will freeze. ( 24 inches underground. in insulation )

Thanks

McAlpine STW3/R is 90mm deep and 40mm standard fit outlet.
Or the other option is a pumped waste with 22mm outlet

hope this helps

Cheers for the response uug, the mcalpine is still too big. i think I'll have to get a bit creative with some bits of plastic from my workshop and see what I can come up with.

have you tried a shallow bath trap with a shower trap waste (fits like a basin waste)

Thanks for the suggestion, I have to use exsisting waste as supplied by the manufacturer as it incorporates the cable operated pop up plug. I forgot to mention earlier that this shower is one of those shower / steam cabinet/ body jet units. Its pretty good with the lights, radio, MP3 and telephone connections and it looks pretty good. There is just no space beneath it. (2 inches ) . Ill keep thinking about it.

I had no idea about this. Please search it in internet through google.

HepvO® Hygienic Self-Sealing Waste Valve HepvO® is a hygienic self-sealing valve designed to close the waste connection below a sanitary appliance to prevent the escape of foul sewer air into the dwelling.

I don't know if this will help? Available in 40mm & 32mm size, and can be fitted horizontal or vertical.
