I\\\'m fitting a new shower cubicle, tray etc. The tray will be on a concrete floor and raised by the four adjustable legs. My plumber friend told me to get a reasealing trap. I\\\'ve just noticed that the guy in the merchants has given me a 19mm trap. What\\\'s the difference and which one do I need please?
shower traps?

What is the distance to the stack ?
If you can get a reasonable run using 40/50mm using a standard trap i would go for that.

One way Traps fail is when the water gets "pulled" out bythe piston action of a pipeful of water. Resealing traps , and traps with air admittance valves, let air in without the water going down the pipe.
Your 19mm seal trap doesn't comply with Bldg Regs and will empty easily, though with only 1200 of 40mm pipe you might get away with it.
