Gap trap kit: Instructions
Assemble the saddle with the O ring:
Use spacers if the pipe is 1 1/4”, assemble the saddle with the O ring and clamp to
the waste pipe.
Bore the hole:
Using the cutter, bore the hole and make sure that slug is fully cut off - put your
finger in to check.
Fit the gap trap:
Fit the gap trap hand tight on to the O ring with the elbow in between, if required.
At this point dry assemble the extension and air gap to check that you have
sufficient space. If you need to cut the extension do so now but leave as long as
possible (minimum 100mm).
Assemble the airgap:
Determine which way you need the spigot on the air gap to meet your drain hose
and assemble all with solvent weld.
Connect the drain hose:
Once the solvent is dry, connect the drain hose - this can be done before gluing if it
is easier.
Installation checks:
Check for leaks and if you have used the elbow make sure that there is no danger of
the standpipe being pushed out of vertical alignment.
Connect drain hose to gap trap:
To make the final connection of the drain hose into the gap trap, insert 3/8” barb
fitting into the hose and connect to the gap trap via the push-fit fitting.
