    Hey Everyone,

    I was reading the install guide and it tells me this:

    The shower tray (lowest waste outlet) must be a minimum of 180 mm above the base of the macerator, to ensure necessary drainage and must not contain a trap.

    No Trap? how the hell do I get the shower waste plumbed in without a trap?

    I have bought a slimline shower trap from Screwfix

    FlyByNight Screwfix Select

  3. If it calls for no trap, depending on the shower waste u could just take out the internal ‘cup’ part

    So looking at the slimline trap I have bought, if I just take out the rubber bit on the inside that acts as a non-return, it will just become a free flow, so essentially taking out the internal cup part?

    Does it say from the base, it used to be from pipe centres or a % fall to the unit.

    Just read the install sheet, 180 is from the center of the waste outlet (trap) to the center of the inlet and with a 1:33 fall on the 40mm pipe to the unit.
     
  9. yes, if it’s possible to do that
