Description
PVC DWV L.A. P-Trap w/ Plastic Nut
PVC DWV L.A. P-Trap w/ Plastic Nut provides a trapped drainage connection for compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent fixture-drain systems. The L.A. P-trap configuration creates a curved drainage path that retains a water seal while allowing fixture discharge to continue into the adjoining DWV piping.
This configuration includes a plastic nut for the compatible mechanical connection within the trap assembly. Proper trap sizing, connection compatibility, orientation, adjoining drainage components, and installation clearance should be confirmed before assembly.

L.A. P-Trap Configuration
The L.A. P-trap configuration provides a curved drainage path between compatible fixture-drain components and the downstream PVC DWV piping. The trap is designed to retain water at its low point after drainage flow passes through the assembly.
Confirm the required nominal size and complete fixture-drain configuration before installation so the trap aligns properly with the adjoining drainage components.
Plastic Nut Included
The P-trap includes a plastic nut for the compatible mechanical connection. The nut provides a tightening component for assembling the adjoining compatible drain connection as part of the completed trap arrangement.
Verify the mating components and connection requirements before assembly, and position the plastic nut correctly before tightening the connection.
Water-Seal Trap Design
The curved trap body is designed to retain a water seal within the drainage path while allowing normal fixture discharge to continue into the downstream DWV piping. Proper installation and orientation are important for maintaining the intended trap configuration.
Check the trap position, adjoining connections, and available installation space before completing the fixture-drain assembly.
PVC DWV Applications
This L.A. P-trap is intended for compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent fixture-drain systems requiring a trapped drainage connection with a plastic-nut assembly.
Before installation, verify the nominal trap size, plastic nut, connection requirements, L.A. P-trap orientation, adjoining drainage components, available clearance, and compatibility with the overall PVC DWV system layout.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the trap size.
- Verify the plastic nut.
- Check the trap orientation.
- Confirm adjoining drain connections.
- Verify compatibility with the fixture layout.
Our PVC DWV fitting specialists can help review your trap size, L.A. P-trap configuration, plastic-nut connection, adjoining drainage components, fitting orientation, installation clearance, and overall drain, waste, and vent system layout before you order.
