The siphons used for plumbing systems are very diverse. They vary depending on the type of sanitary ware (washbasin, sink , bath or shower), construction and material of manufacture.
In this article, we will look at the siphon for the shower tray and find out what these devices are and what their features are.
Siphon for shower tray
The main function of the siphon for a shower tray with a hydraulic seal, in addition to the actual drain, is to protect against the penetration of unpleasant odors from the sewerage to the bathroom.
The main thing that you should pay attention to when buying - are the structural features of the siphon, which should be combined with the location of the hole in the pan. Also you need to consider the type of siphon for the shower tray: standard, automatic or "click-clack".
The first type is the usual siphons, working on the principle of a blind for the bathroom. Such devices collect water in the pallet when closing the plug and drain when it is opened. Automatic siphons are more modern, instead of a stopper they use a handle, turning it, you can close and open the siphon in a more convenient way. There is an even more practical variety of siphons - these are models equipped with a mechanism called "click-clack". It allows you to open and close the plug in the shower tray, even without bending down. With a single foot press, a special button is activated to close the drain hole, and two presses open it. Such automatic siphons are the most popular today.
An important factor in choosing is the height of the ladder, which is installed under the pallet. It ranges from 8 to 20 cm. Before buying, it is advisable to find out which height is the maximum allowable in your case, or immediately purchase a flat siphon for a shower tray with a flexible pipe.
