A bottle trap sits below a basin waste and holds a water seal against drain odours — while remaining compact enough to fit inside a vanity unit. AERLO supplies bottle traps in stainless steel and brass, in G1 1/4″ (32 mm), with a cleaning outlet for maintenance.
Why a Bottle Trap
- Compact — fits inside furniture units where a P-trap would take too much space
- Serviceable — the cleaning outlet allows the trap to be emptied without dismantling the waste pipework
- Odour control — retains a water seal against sewer gases
- Adjustable — the horizontal outlet can usually be rotated to meet the pipe run

What to Check Before Ordering
- Available space — measure inside the vanity unit; bottle traps are chosen specifically for tight spaces
- Pipe run direction — confirm the outlet can reach the waste pipe without adding bends
- Trap depth — the water seal must be adequate for the application
- Cleaning access — confirm the cleaning outlet will remain reachable after installation
- Material — brass where visible and matched to brass fittings; stainless steel for brushed and chrome schemes
Where They Are Used
| Application | Notes |
|---|---|
| Vanity units and basin furniture | Compact footprint suits enclosed cabinets |
| Hotel bathrooms | Standardised across rooms; accessible cleaning outlet for housekeeping |
| Residential bathrooms | Common where the basin sits in a cabinet |
| Exposed installations | Chosen in brass or electroplated finishes where the trap is visible |
Installation Notes
- Fit the trap after the basin waste so the connection can be aligned before tightening
- Hand-tighten seals first, then finish — over-tightening damages rubber washers
- Position the cleaning outlet so it stays accessible once the unit is in place
- Run water and check for weeping at both connections before closing up the unit
