Description
PVC DWV P-Trap w/ Plastic Nut
PVC DWV P-Trap w/ Plastic Nut provides a curved trap configuration for compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent fixture-drain systems while incorporating a plastic nut for the compatible mechanical connection. The P-trap creates a low point in the drainage path that retains a water seal while allowing fixture discharge to continue into the adjoining DWV piping.
Designed for compatible PVC DWV applications, this P-trap combines the required trap configuration with a plastic nut for convenient assembly of the compatible connection. Proper sizing, trap orientation, adjoining component compatibility, and installation clearance should be confirmed before installation.

P-Trap Configuration
The P-trap configuration creates a curved drainage path between the compatible fixture-drain components and downstream PVC DWV piping. The low portion of the trap retains water after drainage flow passes through the assembly, creating the water seal associated with a properly installed P-trap.
Confirm the required nominal size and complete fixture-drain arrangement before installation so the P-trap aligns correctly with the adjoining components.
Plastic Nut Included
The P-trap includes a plastic nut for the compatible mechanical connection. This provides a tightening component that helps secure the adjoining compatible drain component as part of the completed fixture-drain assembly.
Verify the mating components and their compatibility before assembly, and position the 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 orientation is important so the trap maintains its intended configuration after installation.
Check alignment, adjoining connections, and available installation space before completing the fixture-drain assembly.
PVC DWV Applications
This 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, 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 P-trap orientation.
- Confirm adjoining drain connections.
- Verify compatibility with the fixture layout.
Our PVC DWV fitting specialists can help review your trap size, plastic-nut connection, fixture-drain configuration, adjoining PVC components, P-trap orientation, installation clearance, and overall drain, waste, and vent system layout before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
