Description
PVC DWV Adjustable P-Trap w/Plastic Nut (HUB x HUB)
PVC DWV Adjustable P-Traps with Plastic Nut are designed to provide a dependable fixture drain trap while offering added adjustability during installation. The adjustable configuration helps accommodate alignment between fixture drain piping and the downstream DWV system.
Featuring hub connections and a plastic nut for adjustment and secure assembly, this P-trap combines installation flexibility with the corrosion resistance and durability of PVC. The curved trap body maintains a water seal that helps prevent sewer gases and odors from traveling back through the fixture drain, making it suitable for compatible residential and commercial non-pressure DWV systems.

Construction Details
Manufactured from durable PVC, this adjustable P-trap provides resistance to corrosion, moisture, and many chemicals commonly encountered in compatible drain, waste, and vent systems.
The curved trap body retains water after drainage, creating a water seal that helps prevent sewer gases and odors from traveling through the fixture drain and into occupied spaces.
The adjustable connection and plastic nut provide additional installation flexibility, helping accommodate alignment between the fixture drain and downstream DWV piping before the assembly is secured.

Installation
Verify the required nominal size, fixture drain location, and downstream piping alignment before installation. Make sure all mating surfaces are clean and free of debris.
Position the adjustable P-trap between the fixture drain and downstream DWV piping. Use the adjustable connection to establish proper alignment without placing unnecessary stress on the piping or trap assembly.
Secure the plastic nut evenly after the trap is properly positioned. Install any solvent-weld hub connections using compatible PVC primer and solvent cement where required, following the cement manufacturer's preparation and curing recommendations.
After installation, verify that the trap is properly oriented so it can maintain its intended water seal and inspect the completed assembly for leakage.
Our plumbing specialists can help review your fixture type, drain size, connection requirements, available installation space, and DWV piping layout before you order.

What makes this P-trap adjustable?
The trap incorporates an adjustable connection secured with a plastic nut, allowing the assembly to be positioned during installation to help accommodate piping alignment.
What is the purpose of a P-trap?
A P-trap retains a small amount of water after drainage. This water forms a seal that helps prevent sewer gases and odors from traveling back through the fixture drain.
Why is the plastic nut useful?
The plastic nut helps secure the adjustable portion of the trap after it has been positioned for proper alignment.
What does HUB x HUB mean?
The fitting uses hub-style connections designed for integration with compatible PVC DWV piping.
Where is an adjustable P-trap useful?
An adjustable P-trap is especially useful when the fixture drain and downstream piping require some positioning or alignment during installation.
Is this fitting intended for pressure piping?
No. This P-trap is designed for non-pressure drain, waste, and vent applications.
Can this P-trap be used in residential and commercial plumbing?
Yes. It is suitable for compatible residential and commercial DWV fixture drain applications.
What standards are referenced for this fitting?
The supplied product information references ASTM D2665, ASTM D1784, CSA B181.2, and applicable NSF/ANSI standards.
Should the plastic nut be overtightened?
No. The nut should be tightened sufficiently to secure the connection without excessive force that could damage the plastic components.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the required nominal size, fixture drain configuration, available installation space, connection requirements, and compatibility with the intended PVC DWV system.
