Main risks

• Water leaks due to incorrect assembly or worn gaskets, with a risk of damp patches and slippery surfaces.
• Blockages from hair, soap scum or limescale that reduce drainage and may cause overflows.
• Unpleasant odours and ingress of gases if the water seal dries out or the trap is incorrectly fitted.
• Deterioration of plastic parts or seals caused by aggressive cleaning products or very high water temperatures.
• Minor cuts or knocks when handling tools, and splashes of wastewater during disassembly.

Safe use

• Check that the trap is compatible with your shower tray or wall outlet, and with the drain connection type specified by the manufacturer.
• Read and follow the product-specific instructions before installing or replacing parts.
• Fit seals and washers correctly; tighten connections without forcing them or over-tightening.
• Use only sealants or tapes recommended by the manufacturer, and observe curing times before using the shower.
• Before finalising the installation, carry out a water test for leaks and verify that there are no drips.
• Keep water in the trap: after periods without use, pour a little water into the shower to restore the seal.
• During the work, keep the area dry, prevent anyone from turning on the shower, and wear gloves to protect your hands.

Storage and maintenance

• Regularly clean the drain grate or cover and remove hair and debris to prevent blockages.
• If the trap is accessible for cleaning, dismantle and clean the parts with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral soap; avoid sharp objects or stiff brushes.
• Periodically check the condition of the seals; if you detect drips, re-tighten or replace the damaged components.
• Avoid highly corrosive drain cleaners, solvents, acids, or pouring boiling water, as these can damage the material and seals.
• If the shower will be out of use for a while, add water to the drain from time to time to prevent evaporation of the water seal.
• Store spare parts not yet installed in a dry, clean place, protected from impacts, deformation and direct sunlight.

Restrictions of use

• Intended for shower water drainage; do not use the drain to pour paints, solvents, oils, construction debris or other waste.
• Do not use the trap with pressurised equipment or for pumping water.
• Do not modify, cut or drill the parts; do not mix components from models or brands that do not fit securely.
• Keep small parts and tools out of the reach of children and pets; installation and maintenance must be carried out by adults.
• In the event of persistent odours, recurring leaks or frequent blockages, consider seeking professional help to check the installation.
