Anti Siphon Bottle Traps

Discover specialist anti-siphon bottle traps designed for chemical and laboratory waste drainage, providing reliable seal integrity and odour control in demanding environments. Suitable for use with Vulcathene chemical drainage systems, these Durapipe-manufactured traps are produced to ISO 9001 quality standards and constructed from durable, chemically-resistant materials - ideal where typical plumbing traps would quickly degrade.

Anti-siphon bottle traps are engineered to maintain a stable liquid seal under syphonic conditions, preventing the backflow of hazardous fumes and odours into the workspace - a critical requirement for laboratories, schools, hospitals and industrial installations. Unlike standard traps, their design mitigates pressure fluctuations in the waste line that can break the seal and allow smells or gases to escape.

• Chemical Resistance: Robust polypropylene body resists a broad spectrum of corrosive wastes
• Odour Control: Anti-siphonic design preserves liquid seal integrity under variable flow and pressure conditions
• Quality Assurance: Manufactured to ISO 9001, with select models BBA approved
• Flexible Fit: Standard 1½" BSP loose nut connections make installation straightforward within typical waste systems

This standard anti-siphon bottle trap offers a robust solution for routine chemical waste applications. Its black co-polymer polypropylene construction delivers strong resistance to acids, alkalis and a wide range of aggressive laboratory effluents.

Technical Highlights

• Material: Black co-polymer polypropylene - excellent chemical resistance and long-term durability
• Manufacturing Standard: ISO 9001 quality assured
• Connection: Supplied with standard 1½" BSP loose nut coupling for secure waste outlet connection
• Temperature Range: Typically rated from −20 °C to +100 °C (check specific variant data)
• Installation: ‘P’ trap outlet suitable for 38 mm mechanical pipework

This option is ideal for installations where visual monitoring of waste buildup isn’t required - offering a straightforward, chemical-resistant trap that maintains liquid seal performance in critical drainage applications.

For applications where maintenance speed and system visibility matter, the anti-siphon glass bottle trap includes all the robustness of the standard trap but adds a borosilicate glass base for inspection and service.

Technical Highlights

• Material: Black co-polymer polypropylene with clear borosilicate glass base
• Liquid Seal Depth: 76mm seal to reliably prevent odour and gas escape
• Inspection Base: Transparent glass allows quick visual assessment of collected solids and waste level without disassembly
• Maintenance Access: Glass base can be unscrewed for easy cleaning and inspection - particularly useful in high-use labs or where blockages are likely
• Connections: 1½" BSP inlet coupling with standard outlet for 38 mm pipe
• Certifications: BBA Approved with relevant certificates for performance and reliability in chemical drainage

This variant is perfect where system oversight and preventative maintenance are priorities - letting you see waste accumulation and clear it before issues arise.
