Absolutely
Lifesaver! I'm in a studio flat and I'm fairly certain the sewer gas was driving me loopy, no more gurgling and no more sulfur smell
No problem.
Hello, Just had to replace our trap and used this McAlpine Anti Syphon fitting as shown in the video. Your demonstration was very useful and informative particularly when it came to making sure the trap went on solid and tight. Many thanks
Glad it helped
I Installed All Four Of These Devices Throughout My House & I Couldn’t Be Happier.....You’re Truly A Life Saver, Thanks Very Much.....5Stars ✌🏿
Glad I could help
Many thanks - solved gurgling problem with the suggested anti-syphon fitting. Very helpful as always - great work.
Excellent!
Cheers Derek, had normal bottle trap in downstairs toilet/utility room and washing machine was sucking it dry leaving drain smells, so changed it for a an anti-syphon one which has stopped that gurgling. Nice and easy 5 minute job too.
Great.
Thanks Al, I wondered why my sink was making a racket now I know so its off to the local DIY shop and get one. Cheers again. 👍😎
No problem 👍
Love you guys. Great info ❤️
Thanks so much Dave!
I installed 2 of the 4 of these I’ve purchased, 1 on my upstairs sink & the other on my basement slopsink, so far so good, thanks.....I will update once I’m done with the other 2
Glad you like them! Let us know.
very good instructions!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice one Al
Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting. ...I will remember to get One of them when I change mine
Stay safe
Thanks you too.
nice one al simple solution.
Glad you liked it. Keep well mate.
Thanks great vids
Thanks for watching!
Very very good 👍👍
Thank you very much
my dad always told me lefty loosie righty tighty lol
Good advice.
You are a saviour❤ god bless
No problem.
Had a new bathroom fitted 14 months ago, and now our wash basin has just suddenly started doing this. Alarms bells are beginning to ring! But first of all I will fit one of these anti-siphon traps and hope that’s the end of it. Thanks for the explanation.
No problem.
Great stuff. Always reassuring to watch these when DIY'ing. One question, does the vent cap stay screwed on on these or do you remove it. What's the difference if you do or don't. Sorry that's two questions but with it off, it seems to drain faster and I was wondering if that's the way it's designed.
It should be left on, opening it just let it drain away without the syphonic action.
Hi Dereton33 your videos are a great help. Can you tell me where you get the actual waste from the actual sink ( push and slide) in this video please, we have one the same but the thread has gone so needs replacing. Cheers Kevin.
Got it from plumbase.
Great video. One question, my son's sink and our ensuite have started to gurgle, the sewer waste pipe is clear, is it common for it just to start out of the blue?
Yes, it is! It also means there may be some very slight blocking in the pipe run to the sewer pipe.
Back again watching your videos brilliant 👍👍 just a question if I get a gurgle from my walk in shower and can’t access to get a anti vac trap on , can I fit a big 4inch air admittance valve on the end of the 4inch run (internal soil stack)where the shower waste goes into? Will this then help with the suction of the shower waste? Any information would be a great help and appreciated 👍
It will certainly help but may not stop it completely as the anti vac trap should be at source.
@@dereton33 brilliant cheers thank you very much for your reply 👍👍
@@dereton33so a 40mm aav as close to the shower waste or on the shower waste run is better option
Good one Al..
I'll have a go at this, am getting a gurgle and smell afterwards from wash basin which is plumbed into the vent pipe outside, a p trap is in situ, (I would have thought it would be ok if already going to the vent pipe, obviously not) so will try a vented p trap, got to stop that stink! 😁
Get on it Dave.
@@dereton33 I have fixed it! 😊
I bought an anti syphon p trap with telescopic inlet but only had to use the main p piece with valve, was a bit tight for space under the sink as valve protrudes up and just hits bottom of sink, couldn't lower the pipe going down through the floor as the connection joint is glue welded and didn't want to alter this, anyway, I managed and got it done, no leaks now as had to remake the sink waste seal using plumbers mate and no gurgle no smell.. Thanks
Hi. MIne sounds like it is glugging from several feet further down the drain system - I suspect where the basin drain pipe joins the 4" pipe but that is under a floor so not easy to see or get at. Will an anti-siphon trap on the basin help with that too or only when the trap itself is doing the glugging ? Installation is only a year old and ther is an internal AAV on top of the internal high point of the stack
It will help if you fit one on the basin Harry. See how it goes after that.
Hi as I understand the anti siphon is engineered by allowing the pipe to vent after the P/ tittle trap. My question is how does this system prevent air from coming through the pipe work ? Is there a one way valve?
Yes .
A question about the anti siphon screw cap. Is it a screw cap just to gain access to the valve, eg if it sticks. My plumber fitted one and left the cap totally unscrewed and just resting on top.
It's to gain access.
Hi, I’ve just fitted one of these anti syphon (P trap) to my kitchen sink due to noises and smell. Pipework very much like the video but P trap not bottle. The noises stopped but I found if I emptied a bowl of water down the sink, the actual anti syphon valve leaked water?? Could this be faulty or could it be the pressure of the water being too much for the tight bend out?
A faulty trap.
Is it necessary to purchase this device for all of the sinks in the house or one will do the job for multiple areas ?
Only the ones that make a noise.
Hi Can I easily replace a normal U bend type of waste with a bottle trap? Is one better to use than the other?
The u bend type is less prone to blocking up.
Hi there. I have fitted one of these just a question does the screw cap have to be fully closed or open to let air out I'm not sure ??
Closed.
Thank you I had it open a touch
I'm gurgling down stellas 🍻🍻🍻 down the bottle trap
Prefer a real ale myself. Gurgle gurgle.
Would this fix a kitchen sink with washing machine waste on the same pipe?
Yes, absolutely
Hi there, I am having this sort of problem with my bathroom basin, the water drain out pretty quickly but after that a few seconds later there is some gurgling sounds and then followed by three thumbing sound...Can you explain the mechanics of why there is this sound? Do you think there is blockage? If yes, what method can I try? A few days ago I notice the drainage footage was a bit slower, so I pour dishwasher and hit water...then the drainage flowrate has become very good...but the gurgling sound persist with the additional three thumping sound after the gurgling...Also what do you can these device? I we told from the hardware stall that there is different sizes, one for kitchen basin pipe compared to Bathroom Toilet Basin pipe...Is this true in Asia?
Usually this means a partial blockage in the outlet pipe. If you still have a problem after having your drains cleared, then fitting small Drago valves or anti syphon traps
@@dereton33 So can I use those drainage globber solution that has enzyme capability to breakdown those partial blockage? Will that damage the pvc pipe in future? This is how my current Bathroom Toilet Basin sound..increase the volume and you hear three thumping sound after the gurgling...notice that drainage is very fast..Do you have any further advice, Can this be left alone? ruclips.net/user/shortsOuEfsCxOgXU?feature=share
Btw thanks a lot for replying to my query.
Can you get these for baths too? Are they needed on a shower trap if the shower exits right to an outside hopper?
You can get them for baths, they are not needed if the waste goes into a hopper head.
@@dereton33 thanks. But they are needed if they go into a soil stack or 110mm ground pipe that could cause vacuum?
How come you have a nice tan Al, been hissing down here and overcast for weeks lol Best wishes to you both.
Weather has been great down here in the English Riviera Cliff.
@@dereton33 it makes a change because the poor West Country normally gets the worst of all from the Atlantic ocean.
Why do I get a slight leak from the valve on top when I drain the bath
Need more info please.
Hello ! What are these traps called and where can i find them in the uk please?🙏
Anti syphon traps. Most plumbing stores have them.
Thank you very much!❤
Hi there, mine is leaking from the valve but it wasn't before I took it apart to remove the hair blockage, do you know why this is doing this?
The seals may need renewing
@@dereton33 thanks for getting back to me so soon, all seals are ok and there is no seal in the valve section so I'm guessing the leak will stay a mystery. I am guessing it would be ok to replace the whole unit with a standard bottle trap without the valve?
Hi, I have a question, I have in my kitchen 1 big sink with a smaller sink to the left, after running the water in either sink I get a gurgling come up, can you help ? it also happens to our bathroom sink as well.
You have a drain partial drain blockage
@@dereton33 thank you. x
But what if you can't redirect your washing machine outlet, and your still getting a smell coming through you'd kitchen sink...??
Use a syphonic trap or a non return valve.
hi, i think mines leaking from the the air valve, will i have to replace the whole thing?
Yes normally.
@@dereton33 Thanks for your reply very helpful!
👍👍👍
Thanks PB, hope you are keeping well.
Wondering if you could help me Al. I fitted one of these last year due to gurgling and bad smells www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005CTS8UI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and while the gurgling stops, I find I still get bad smells if a lot of water is running down the drain. I have a 1.5 sink and the smell is coming from whatever one does not have the water running through it. Both basins are connected to the same trap. My assumption is that the flowing water is breaking the trap and allowing smells back up. Anything I can do?
Fit a separate trap on each.
@@dereton33 thanks Al. Was hoping it wouldn't come to that! Love your videos. Have helped me so much over the years!
Mine makes that sound as the sink is running and it is effing loud, drives me nuts
Horrible drains .
Don't traps like that just fill up with crap? They are illegal here where I live. Traps should be self scouring so they don't need maintenance.
Pipe dream land, self cleaning ha ha.
@@dereton33 I don't get the joke. I very rarely need to clean a trap in my house. The only one that has issues is the vanity we bush our teeth and shave in. It requires snaking every 3-4 years.
"The fat part goes to the back!" isn't that fat-shaming? Take off the trap and empty it back down the sink. Oh, everyone has done that. No shame there. Now, back to those doughnuts. Just got back from North Wales finishing off someone else's work. A bath, a shower tray and a basin all pipes disappearing under the floor (carpeted, click vinyled and tiled and coming outside on a single 40mm pipe??? Hmmm??? Had to conceal a hidey-away, separate aav, neatly behind a free standing bath. Another heatwave coming, Woo-hoo!
Ha ha, thanks loafer. There sure is some good plumbing around. Hope you and yours are keeping well. All the best Al and Jan.
Hi I live in Tijuana Mexico most places apt and hotel don't have that p trap because previous renters will always steal them when they leave to resell them , what can I do or use to stop those fumes when their is no p trap
Use a non return valve.
Hi mate wondering if I can pick your brains as you seem more of an expert than me .
Fitted a washing machine water drain hose under my sink ( for the machine to release its water through the same pipe as the kitchen drain )
However lately it’s started to making a random trumpet type sound? When the water is off. And nobody is in the kitchen. Does it every 30 mins or so. Water runs and drains fine both hot and cold.
It’s like a abrupt pressure sound which creates a trumpet sound. Very strange. Only does it when nobody is using the taps. The washing machine is also unplugged and not on.
I should point out the only other time its makes the sound is when the washing machine releases its dirty water, it makes that same sound through the sink. Like a pressure trumpet type sound, it’s very abrupt and doesn’t last. Just a quick ‘ BOP’
What do you think it is?
Many thanks
Sucking in air, a drago valve would fix it.
Ah I see. Makes sense. Where does the air get sucked in from exactly ?
Through the traps or washing machine ?
Tried what you suggested mate, installed a AAV, / Durgo valve - but still making the abrupt trumpet sound.
When I had the trap completely off with nothing connected, it made the sound twice, so safe to say it’s not that.
Any other ideas? Possibly linked with the washing machine cold water intake ? As when the machine takes in water or begins its cycle, the same trumpet noise occurs.
