Washbasin siphons

Washbasin siphons Ital are S-shaped elements usually made of plastic or metal, placed between washbasin drains and pipes. A plastic washbasin siphon or equipment made of another material is used to prevent water leakage, neutralize unpleasant odors in pipes, and stop small insects from entering the home.

Functioning of a siphon

Before buying a washbasin siphon, it is important to understand its features and operation. When we turn on the water flowing into the sewer, the first bend of the tube fills, and the second acts as a siphon, emptying the first until the water level drops and a bit of air enters. At this moment, the siphon stops working, and the water in the rising part between the two SS recedes, filling the first bend and isolating the drain from gases in the pipe. If a vertical pipe is installed, unpleasant odors will rise and fill the room.

There is another important role of this equipment worth knowing before purchasing a siphon at an affordable price: it can trap sediment that accumulates in the sump and can be easily removed by partial disassembly when removing the equipment. This procedure can be done by the homeowner without calling a professional plumber. Thus, direct waste entry into the sewer is prevented, which helps avoid blockages.

Types of siphons

The range of Ital siphons is divided by three criteria: type of wastewater receiver, shape of the trap, and materials of manufacture.

There are several siphon models that are perfect for draining your washbasins:

• single;
• double;
• straight;
• curved;
• bottle;
• with aeration valve;
• with extension;
• pedestal basin siphon;
• with click-clack valve.

The siphon can be plastic or metal and is very easy to install.

What are the selection criteria for siphons?

The Ital catalog of washbasin siphons offers a wide range of models: from typical models for wall-hung washbasins, perfect for budget renovations, to siphons designed for the most modern bathrooms, such as overflow siphons for washbasins. Nevertheless, quality should always be a higher priority than aesthetics. There is no point in having a beautiful designer bathroom if water leaks from pipes or unpleasant odors escape. The problem may be clogged pipes or a poor-quality siphon. To purchase reliable equipment, read reviews of Ital washbasin siphons from other users, and you will make the right choice.

Selection criteria to consider when planning to buy siphons wholesale or retail.

There are siphons for bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, bidets, washing machines, and dishwashers. There are as many siphon shapes as there are devices where they are installed. Each has different sizes to connect them to drains and sanitary devices, so for a washbasin, you should choose equipment specifically designed for it.

All siphons must meet minimum requirements: be smooth, waterproof, resistant to the discharged water, and have a minimum material thickness of 3 mm.

Every installation has a drain. Check whether you have a vertical or horizontal drainage hole and choose the appropriate siphon. Generally, drains can be vertical or horizontal. For vertical drainage, choose a closed S-shaped siphon; for horizontal, an open U-shaped siphon.
