McAlpine STW4 Shower Waste Trap Clean Out Dip Tube Only White 75 mm Long

Having searched multiple local hardware stores to replace a broken shower waste trap I had all but given up until I found this on Amazon. I had assumed what I was looking for no longer existed as a product. What can I say, it fitted the outlet perfectly and with one twist was securely in place. Very happy with it.

For years, I was plagued by bad smells emanating from from the plughole of my shower tray and no matter how much bleach and "pipe unblocker" stuff I shoved down there, nothing helped. Recently decided to do something about it and bought a couple of those silicone 'membrane' things that you put into the plughole, which allow water out but don't allow anything else in. That worked in stopping the smell but also had the effect of severely reducing the flow of the water draining out too, so the shower tray would just fill up. Contacted a plumber who told me that I probably need the pipes unblocking or something (I knew that wasn't the case) and that he would charge me £95+VAT to come and have a look, and then another min of £95+VAT to fix it. After extensive and annoying research, and dismantling the shower trap myself, I came to the realisation that it had been originally installed without the dip-tube, so that there was actually no water seal at all, and the sewer gasses were free to just flow into my bathroom! Took me a while of looking around and trying to work out exactly what it was that I needed but it ended up being this product, which I received today and I popped it in and it's done the job perfectly! So, for £3.41, I've solved the problem myself and unintentionally become something of an expert in shower drainage to boot.....

Doesn't fit, but that's a fault of mine, looks like it would be just the job.

Its right size and shape , but cant trap any waste eg hair etc , without any filter or sieve , so disappointing / Good Packing and price ok , too . Could , only be used , by some additional work . Thanks . I Dawani

Perfect fit as replacement for shower part that broke.

It didn't fit it was too long

Simple device that does the job but beware: the lift-out blade at the top can easily be broken if not pulled up vertically - best to use suitable tool rather than fingers if it gets stuck.

Bought this as the old trap was letting sewer gas through, it stopped the gas and it stopped the missus winging
