4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Hansgrohe P-Trap:
- Prepare the Drain: Ensure the sink drain tailpiece and the wall drain pipe are clean and free of debris.
- Attach the Tailpiece Nut and Washer: Slide the large nut and a conical washer onto the sink drain tailpiece.
- Connect to Tailpiece: Connect the upper part of the P-trap to the sink drain tailpiece, ensuring the washer is properly seated. Hand-tighten the nut.
- Attach the Wall Flange: Slide the chrome wall flange onto the horizontal arm of the P-trap.
- Connect to Wall Drain: Insert the horizontal arm of the P-trap into the wall drain pipe. Ensure a proper seal with a washer if required by your plumbing setup.
- Align and Tighten: Adjust the P-trap for proper alignment. Ensure the U-bend is positioned correctly to hold water. Hand-tighten all connection nuts, then use a wrench to gently tighten them an additional quarter to half turn. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage washers.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and proper function of your P-trap:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the P-trap to remove accumulated hair, soap scum, and other debris. This can be done by unscrewing the nuts, removing the trap, cleaning it, and then reassembling.
- Leak Checks: Occasionally inspect the connections for any signs of drips or moisture. Address any leaks promptly by tightening connections or replacing worn washers.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage the chrome finish and internal components over time. Use enzymatic cleaners or mechanical methods for clogs.
