When installing new plumbing it is very important to pay attention to such detail as the chrome siphon for the sink . It performs several functions at once: it takes out the used water, does not allow clogging of pipes and prevents penetration of sewage smells into the room.
Types of siphons for washbasin
- Corrugated . The design of this siphon is very simple. On one side there is an outlet on it, which is fixed on the sink drain. On the other side there is an adapter, which is connected to the sewage system. The advantage of the siphon is the convenience of its installation. The lack of a device is the difficulty of cleaning up contamination, for this it is necessary to dismantle it.
- Bottle . This is the most common version of the chrome siphon under the sink. It is difficult to carry out the installation yourself, a professional installation is required. But it is very easy to clean the siphon without dismantling. The plus of the device can be called the possibility of connecting with it a washing or dishwasher.
- Tubular . It has the shape of a curved pipe, creating a water gate. For cleaning, remove the lower bend of the siphon.
Corrugated siphon is made of plastic. The chromed siphon for the washbasin can be a bottle or pipe type. As a material for such products, brass is often used and coated with chromium.
A chrome siphon for a washbasin with overflow is also provided among the models of bottled and tubular devices. This design allows you to control the water level in the sink in case of clogging of the main drain hole.
