Hi,
After finishing sorting out a leak in some ~30 year old basin pipework (i.e. replacing it!) I replaced a newish bottle trap with an antivac mcalpine bottle trap to solve gurgling issues.
On fitting I noticed that the top of the trap didn't insert into the basin by about 2mm as the other trap had done. As far as I can tell there's no leaks - but wondered if this was standard with mcalpine traps?
The basin connection is metal, as in this picture - but obv. not with this pipework setup:
Here's a pic of the traps side by side. McAlpine is on the left. It appears not to have a tapered lip...
Thanks,
James.
