The water seal is what keeps the smell out · review
A 1-1/2 in tubular P-trap with a reversible J-bend, hand-tightenable nuts and a premium washer.
Bullet one: Made of PVC for easier cutting and glue applications. Bullet five: Available in white or black polypropylene.
Those are different plastics and the difference is not cosmetic: polypropylene cannot be solvent-welded. Cement will not bond to it. It sits on the surface, looks like a joint, and weeps two weeks later.
The description settles it. The adapter is PVC or ABS — which glues. The trap body is polypropylene — which does not.
So: glue the adapter into the wall stub if the stub needs gluing, and assemble the trap itself dry, on its washers. A tubular trap was never meant to be cemented; it seals on a washer compressed by a nut, which is also why it can be taken apart to clear a clog.
Worth knowing before somebody reaches for the solvent can.
A P-trap is fitted lying on your back in a cabinet, hands above your face, flashlight in your teeth. There is no room to swing a wrench and nowhere to stand.
Nuts with full sized wings — real projecting lugs, not a shallow knurl — can be tightened hard enough by hand, and a washer joint needs nothing more.
Longer threads means more adjustment before the nut runs out, which is what you want when the wall stub and the sink tailpiece do not quite line up.
No other listing on this shelf mentions the nuts at all.
The J-bend is the U-shaped half that holds the water. Reversible means the outlet can point either way, so one part covers a stub coming out of the wall on the left or on the right.
That is one fewer thing to get wrong, and one fewer trip.
American plumbing uses 1-1/4 inch for a lavatory sink and 1-1/2 for a kitchen sink. This is 1-1/2.
On this shelf: EcoArtHeating is 1-1/4 in and 1-5/8 out. PlumbCraft is 1-1/4 with adapters to 1-1/2. TGEOND adapts between the two.
Measure the tailpiece hanging from your sink before ordering anything here.
No code compliance. The EcoArtHeating on this shelf publishes meets plumbing code requirements in USA/CAN, and on a trap that is a meaningful claim — the trap’s water seal is what keeps sewer gas out of the room, which is why codes specify it.
A plain P-trap from Oatey is the shape codes are written around, so the absence matters less here than it would on an unusual fitting. It is still absent.
No warranty, where EcoArtHeating publishes eighteen months. No seal depth. And no itemized parts list, where the PlumbCraft kit on this shelf names all fifteen of its pieces.

| Inlet size | 1-1/2 in, on a REVERSIBLE J-BEND — the only reversible bend on this shelf, which is what lets one part serve a wall outlet or a floor outlet. 5.98 × 2.99 × 5.98 in (152 × 76 × 152 mm). |
|---|---|
| Outlet size | 1-1/2 in, through a threaded adapter. THE PARTS LIST IS NOT Itemized, where PlumbCraft on this shelf itemizes fifteen pieces — so what is in the bag is not established beyond the bullets. |
| Water seal depth | NOT PUBLISHED BY THE MAKER — and no trap on this shelf publishes it, which is the one figure that decides whether the seal survives a dry week. |
| Body type | A P-trap with a reversible J-bend. No code compliance is claimed on this listing. |
| Space needed under the sink | NOT PUBLISHED as a clearance. The part measures 5.98 × 2.99 × 5.98 in (152 × 76 × 152 mm), bagged. |
| Material | THE LISTING CONTRADICTS ITSELF: bullet one says PVC and glueable, bullet five says white or black POLYPROPYLENE — and polypropylene cannot be solvent-glued. See the FAQ. The description gives the adapter as PVC or ABS plastic. 5.6 oz (159 g), with a True Blue premium washer for superior sealing, super nuts with full sized wings and longer threads, and a marvel connector. No warranty is published. |
| Dismantles without tools | The nuts have FULL SIZED WINGS, which is what hand-tightening means, though the maker does not state it as such. |
| Amazon reference | B00DZTK3L4 |
| EAN | 0041193009241 |
It matters a great deal, because polypropylene cannot be solvent-welded. The listing says both: bullet one is "Made of PVC for easier cutting and glue applications" and bullet five is "Available in white or black polypropylene". The description resolves it — "manufactured with PVC or ABS plastic adapter and True Blue Premium Washers... Available in white or black polypropylene plastic." So the adapter is PVC or ABS, which glues, and the trap body is polypropylene, which does not. Solvent cement simply will not bond to PP; it sits on the surface, looks like a joint, and leaks a week later. Tubular traps like this are not meant to be glued anyway — they seal on a washer and a nut. Glue the adapter into the wall stub if that is what the stub needs, and assemble the trap dry.
An afternoon. A P-trap is assembled in a cabinet under a sink, on your back, with your hands above your face and a flashlight in your teeth. There is no room for a wrench and nowhere to stand. Nuts with full sized wings — proper projecting lugs rather than a shallow knurl — can be tightened hard enough by hand, which is all a washer joint needs. Longer threads means more adjustment before the nut runs out, which matters when the pipe centers do not quite line up. It is the least glamorous sentence on this shelf and the one a plumber would read first.
Measure the tailpiece hanging down from your sink before buying anything on this shelf. In American plumbing a lavatory sink is normally 1-1/4 inch and a kitchen sink 1-1/2. This trap is 1-1/2. The EcoArtHeating here is 1-1/4 in and 1-5/8 out. The PlumbCraft kit is 1-1/4 throughout but includes a 1-1/2 to 1-1/4 washer and a 1-1/2 nut, so it bridges. The TGEOND adapts between the two. Of the four, only the kit and the flexible one are size-agnostic — and they are the two most expensive.
Same category, nearby prices, between bathroom fittings. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.

| Oatey Dearborn 1-1/2 in P-trap | $9 | 1-1/2 in, on a REVERSIBLE J-BEND — the only reversible bend on this shelf, which is what lets one part serve a wall outlet or a floor outlet. 5.98 × 2.99 × 5.98 in (152 × 76 × 152 mm). | 1-1/2 in, through a threaded adapter. THE PARTS LIST IS NOT Itemized, where PlumbCraft on this shelf itemizes fifteen pieces — so what is in the bag is not established beyond the bullets. | NOT PUBLISHED BY THE MAKER — and no trap on this shelf publishes it, which is the one figure that decides whether the seal survives a dry week. | A P-trap with a reversible J-bend.

| TGEOND flexible expandable P-trap | $14 | A 1-1/2 in (45 mm) top nut inner diameter, with a 1-1/4 in nut adapter of 1.5 in (39 mm) inner diameter supplied — so it serves both common sink drains. THE MAKER'S OWN REFERENCE READS « S-Trap Gray 09 » while the first bullet refers to BOTH AN S-TRAP AND A P-TRAP; see the FAQ, because the two discharge in different directions. The adapter color, white or gray, is SUPPLIED AT RANDOM. | 1.2 in (30 mm) bottom inner diameter. | NOT PUBLISHED BY THE MAKER — and on an ACCORDION trap this is the figure that matters most, because the seal depth changes with how the concertina is stretched. | An ACCORDION design — the only flexible trap on this shelf — in premium plastic with silicone rubber tips, stated for kitchen sinks, bathrooms, spa baths, vanities, pedestal sinks and RVs. NO CODE COMPLIANCE IS CLAIMED BY THE MAKER, and a flexible accordion trap is precisely what many US codes refuse. |

What it does publish is TRIPLE BRASS SEALING RINGS embedded inside, and that THE EXTENSION PIPE HEIGHT ADJUSTS WITHOUT LOSING THE SEAL — the only trap here that claims the adjustment does not cost you the water seal. | A BOTTLE TRAP — the only one on this shelf, and the only fitting here meant to be seen. STATED TO MEET PLUMBING CODE REQUIREMENTS IN USA/CAN, which is THE ONLY CODE CLAIM ON THIS SHELF. The interior is smooth, stated not to cause buildup or bad odors. |
