Funcionament

The Elkay LK500 P-Trap operates by maintaining a small amount of water in its curved section, creating a water seal. This seal prevents unpleasant sewer gases from rising through the drain and entering your home. When water drains from the sink, it flows through the P-trap, replenishing the water seal. Regular use of the sink helps maintain this seal.

• Cleanout Plug: The LK500 P-trap is equipped with a cleanout plug at the bottom of the J-bend. If a clog occurs, place a bucket underneath, then carefully unscrew the cleanout plug to access and remove debris. Re-tighten the plug securely after cleaning.
