Traps
About Traps
The waste pipe from every piece of ‘water using’ sanitaryware in your home must incorporate a trap which reseals itself with water whenever the sanitaryware is emptied. It’s the traps which keep the smell of drains, bacteria and insects from entering into your home.
All Traps when Installed in Buildings should be installed in compliance With:
1) The Building Regulations 2000 (as amended) England and Wales.
2) The Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1990 (as amended).
3) The Building regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000.
Alternatively the relevant recommendations of BS EN 12056 should be followed.
