The Self Closing Waste valve was a big problem. From the packaging, the sheath was folded over like an envelope and no water would pass through it. I opened it out and a bowl of water eventually emptied in half an hour except for about 30mm left, I took the sheath out and it was stuck together with a thick grease. I removed the grease with washing up liquid and still that didn't help. Eventually I cut off 20mm of the sheath leaving about 5mm of the flat section and now it works like a normal waste - not a very good design really. I would have returned the product if it wasn't for the fact that a normal trap was obstructed.

Been trying to contact the company with a few tech issues no direct phone number 🤷‍♂️

First time plumbing work,fitted one of these yesterday. Quality product,so easy to fit. Tested and solid with no leaks,given me confidence that I will have no issues for a long time.

Best products made in Britain and beat anything else out there for quality and fit.

You have just saved us £100s !!! We originally bought the 'low quality' connector only to find we had an indoor swimming pool, full of dookie, courtesy of the toilet. We fitted this connector and no more leaks. You really can see and feel the quality difference between the two. Thank you

Please use less plastic on all your packaging mcalpine 🙏

Would these trap all hairs or do you offer any hair catchers?

Does fitting this reduce the water pressure or flow rate

Sell in MALAYSIA TODAY PLS

-no one says that there is a drawback - the water does not completely go away until you remove the plug-button-

This type of shower trap is not fit for purpose....We have 12mm backer board 10 mm floor board..its not enough space!! to connect the plastic nut onto the trap. The problem is depth....just not enough.. Great to be able to pull out the insides and clean..But if the space isn't there in the fitting ..Then no good.... I did see one company that had an ajustable depth trap..which i purchased and works great... Not everybody installs shower trays on flooor boards...

You can't even see it ! Only you !!

Cant compromise on quality

Mr mcalpine product 100% high quality dont take his word try it

Hi Sir, may I know what is the bit where your left hand is touching? Also what is that hard ring joint called between the long according and short accordion (I don't know the term 😂). Your taking time in replying will be valuable. Thank you for the post?

Mcalpine all day long for me, safe & secure 👍👍

Mcalpine keep up the fantastic work at producing the best traps out there. Always in my van

Chat GPT contradicts your last comment about only fitting in a vertical position. Also where in the instructions or on Website does it say it can only be fitted vertically?

Expensive stuff.

Would one of these work on a lead pipe?

They make the best plastic traps etc on the market . And they don’t leak

too huge, requires to have minimum distance from the floor, The alternative is cheap and relayeble and much more simpler then that. That also have a cleaning option. what you fail to learn that a vacuum clean even the one we all have at home will work as a charm to clean all pipes and blockegges. Is ok if you do it and clean up the vacum. Dont such too much water but it will work . Trust me I am a scientist:))

is this the same as a water softner?

What he didnt show you was how bulky it is inside the soil stack with possible issues of build of products such as loo paper effluent if it's fitted below the soil appliances. It also doesn't take into account the build up of scale etc inside the soil pipe so when tightening up the boss pipe and that internal isn't really clean uou could end up with it leaking! With a standard glued boss pipe their is no intrusion inside the soil pipe itself so no risk of snagging of loo paper etc. In cases say in high use flats where water is constantly being discharged down the stack then its a good solution .

That non return valve once its gummed up with hair & products etc becomes useless and rhen bexomes non operative as most customers have no idea hiw to maintain and clean them out. Does that trap have a 2.5° gradient or is it a horizontal outlet. Most shower traps struggle to clear properly especially if its served by an electric shower with poor flow rate add to that when shiwer gel foams up so then the waste pipe hardly ever runs full bore to clean it , as it would with a bath flowing fullbore when emptying ! Thats when you get the build up of hair and product's. So its ok having a trap that allows for minimal depth especially on solid floors and low profile trays. Alot of plumbers have no idea about self siphonage or induced siphonage they just fit whatever will fit in ! Esoecially in flats where tbe traps require a deep seal to overcome being pulled by other appliances above or below . The ending result being smell emanating into the bathroom. Now in an ideal world that trap you showed would be great but in the ream world not necessarily so wspecially in student accomodation where they dont gjve a rats back side and it just gets left !! Hair and products are tbe bane of any shower trap or bath trap come to that really. Sort that out youre onto a winner !

What about 50 mm / 2inch fittings?

If I use mactun 2, still I will still have to have 30 mm lenght D2 pipe before 🎉the first brand or not because it increases from 22 to 32mm? And if so where would start measuring from. Will the the centimeters of the non rerurn valve count for the 300mm it matters to me as I can't go to much down

you messed up, the boss should not be flush with the back line of the pan connector. the screw ring will hit against the wall behind

You demonstrated the “competitor’s” product failed but not that yours would have passed.

I saw this from a previous video. It's kind of stupid! I can't find anyplace that sells one here in the USA. Nothing on Amazon, one on Ebay, for +$20 cost & +25 Shipping.

You didn't mention the built in 5 degrees fall in the waste pipe inlet and for this reason you need to look for the 'Top' marking to install the boss the correct way up. Great vid otherwise. 👍

Can do this for half the price of your kit , no problem

Really?

Just got this and will fit in a bit. Seems very well made. Mine was quite tight adjusting the 40mm out direction but was more confident turning it once I saw it definitely turns.

I wish the top was all brass too 🫤

Mcalpine best products out there 👌👌

So what’s the answer or are you just spouting figures, Wouldn’t happen in a Fred video.

How much water pressure do you lose after installing one❓❓❓

Would installing one reduce the mains pressure to the property ❓

How much do you lose on your water pressure after installing one ❓

Does these drain doesn’t need a P trap ? That’s the idea right? To eliminate the P trap? I’m I right ?

Do you make a DC1-BL type fitting for 95mm ish cast iron?

Lasted a week then stopped sealing.

The appliance trap seems to leak any advice?

Who tests this rubbish?

How can I ghet it; Jubilee clip.

Seriously extensive product range & a super convenient bit of kit, BUT, I'm still sceptical about flexible pan connectors in particular. Like he says, they are usually in a concealed area - I've heard some horror stories, particularly re. rats, but it's also going to be subjected to a variety of chemical products over the years e.g. sodium hydroxide. A product that thin & flexible just can't be as robust and have the same longevity as rigid connectors? I'm happy to be told I'm wrong in this thinking......

Hi I have just bought a ST90 CB10-70 at great expense but it has NO diaphragm valve just a flat bottom removal cup that acts as the water seal. I feel cheated ....Please explain Thanks

What do they look like ❓

🤘😎🤘
