2. Installation (Setup)

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and appearance of your bottle trap. It is recommended to consult a qualified plumber if you are unsure about any steps. Ensure all local plumbing codes are met during installation.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Adjustable wrench
• Plumber's tape (PTFE tape)
• Soft cloth

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Drain: Ensure the sink drain tailpiece is clean and free of debris.
2. Assemble the Bottle Trap: Refer to the diagram below for component identification. Connect the various parts of the bottle trap, ensuring all gaskets and seals are correctly seated. Hand-tighten connections initially.
3. Connect to Tailpiece: Attach the inlet of the bottle trap to the sink's tailpiece. Use a slip-joint nut and washer, ensuring a watertight seal.
4. Connect to Wall Drain: Extend the bottle trap to align with the wall drain. Use the included 12" extension tube if necessary to achieve the correct length and alignment. Secure the connection to the wall drain using appropriate fittings and seals.
5. Final Tightening: Once all components are aligned, use an adjustable wrench to carefully tighten all slip-joint nuts. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the seals or components.
6. Leak Test: Turn on the water supply to the sink and allow water to run for several minutes. Carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten any leaking connections slightly until the leak stops.

3. Operation

The Kohler K-9033-CP Bottle Trap operates passively as part of your sink's drainage system. Its primary function is to create a water seal that prevents sewer gases from entering your living space. No active user operation is required beyond regular use of the sink.

Ensure that water flows freely through the trap. If you notice slow drainage, refer to the Maintenance or Troubleshooting sections.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper function of your bottle trap. The removable trap eye allows for easy cleaning.

Cleaning the Exterior:

• Clean the polished chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly, then dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Interior (Removable Trap Eye):

1. Prepare: Place a bucket or container directly under the bottle trap to catch any water or debris.
2. Remove Trap Eye: Carefully unscrew the bottom cap or trap eye of the bottle trap. This component is designed to be easily removable for access to the trap's interior.
3. Clear Debris: Remove any accumulated hair, soap scum, or other debris from inside the trap eye and the main body of the trap. A small brush or wire can be helpful.
4. Rinse: Rinse the trap eye and the interior of the trap with clean water.
5. Reassemble: Carefully reattach the trap eye, ensuring the gasket is properly seated. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to gently snug it, avoiding overtightening.
6. Check for Leaks: Run water through the sink and check for any leaks at the reassembled connection.
