Shallow Bath Trap

[random]

Hi,
I bought a shallow bath trap from screwfix (http://www.screwfix.com/prods/13034/Plumbing/Wastes-and-Traps/Shallow-Bath-Trap-40mm) as I thought this would be ideal for connecting my bath as I have moved the bath closer to the wall & in order to fit the last trap, the fitter had to cut a hole in the floor board. So this way I wouldn't need to make the hole bigger.

The trap fits like a treat, but reading a DIY manual however, I noticed that it says you should not use these on a soil stack.
So where are the normal traps on the screwfix site? Or is the manual I am reading out of date.

Thanks in advance,
Ian

OK - but what trap do I need? Is it corrrect that I shouldn't install a shallow trap?

shallow 19mm bath traps should not be used on new installs.

Page 7 so a 50mm minimum water seal trap is required. Or use a Hepworth HEPvO trap.
