Unitrap or McAlpine (or a.n.other) Waterless Trap

[Thorfun]

greetings. anyone used the Unitrap waterless trap? I see McApline also do a waterless trap. I'm liking the flexibility of the Unitrap but couldn't find it mentioned on here so was wondering if anyone had used it or if I should just stick to McApline.

I’ve used a wavin hepvo one before, I think at the time it was one of the only ones that was available, good quality and didn’t have any issues

cor. the Wavin one is twice the price of the Unitrap and McApline ones!

Maybe that’s why it was without issue 😂

I've ordered 3 of the Unitrap ones from Amazon. I just can't afford the Wavin ones at the moment. hope that doesn't come back to bite me later though! although, even if they only last 2 years at least I might have some money again by that time to be able to fix them. 🤣

I've fitted a unitrap, happy with the quality and flexible installation options.

My only advice is to avoid this type of low height wastes

They aren't very good the "reed" type valve restricts flow - they are most definitely not hi flow!!!!

^ Yep. Even the updated short red flap isn't much better tbh
