The Shower Drain Trap
The bottom of the trap holds a pool of water that provides a seal against the incursion of sewer gases and vermin through the shower drain. The bottom of a shower S- or P-trap is a natural repository for hair, soap and debris that can form clogs.
People also ask, do shower drains have a trap?
Shower and bathtub drain pipes must incorporate a P-trap; otherwise the health and safety of anyone in the building will be jeopardized by sewer gasses entering the building. A trap will keep water trapped in the pipe, keeping sewer gasses from coming up the drainpipes.
Keeping this in consideration, does Coke clean a clogged drain?
To get started, purchase a two liter bottle of Coke and allow it to acclimate to room temperature. After pouring it down the drain, let it fizz and work its corrosive power for an hour or two before running hot water. Coke and Pepsi are loaded with phosphoric acid, which breaks down buildup that can clog your drains!
A shower trap is a necessary plumbing fitting to prevent drain clogs inside a shower stall. In certain water fixture, such as a kitchen sink, the trap sits just after a garbage disposal. This trap bends downward to resemble the letter “U” or “P” when inspected from a right angle, hence the term P-trap.
