Siphons for sinks

Siphon for a sink from the manufacturer SantehPlast. 

A siphon for a sink is a device that serves to drain excess water. You can install it in the tightest space. It allows you to eliminate unpleasant odors without letting them into the room. Connecting such a device will not be difficult. Before purchasing this or that model, you should carefully consider the structure of the material of its manufacture. Most often it is a corrugation - a flexible PVC hose (sometimes with the addition of metal alloys). 

How to choose a siphon? 

Are you going to buy a siphon? In this case, you need to take into account a number of parameters and design features. So, siphons are created from a variety of materials. It can be both steel and PVC, as brass models, and solutions from polypropylene. The most important requirement that needs to be taken into account: if it is a rigid or monolithic siphon, this is not the best solution, because often it needs to be installed in hard-to-reach places and flexibility does not hurt at all. Also, special, corrugated pipes are actively used that connect the sewer pipes with the siphon itself. 

If you have planned a major overhaul, then remember that siphons are bought not only for the bathroom. So, they will also be needed for the sink and sink. It is very good if your siphon provides a drain for the washing machine. Then its installation can be carried out as simply as possible and, most importantly, without prejudice to the design of your home. 

What models of siphons exist? 

There are models with both automatic drain and semi-automatic ".However, at domestic points of sale it is very often possible to buy siphons, which use a special stopper on a chain to close the drain. 

The "semi-automatic" system is equipped with a special cable that connects the overflow and drain blocks. In order to close the drain (or open), simply turn the special cover. A siphon with an overflow of this type has a pleasant appearance and excellent qualities of convenient use. So, you do not need to bend over every time to close / open the drain. Naturally, cheap structures of this type may not work quite correctly and are not reliable. By the way, the market sells a lot of fakes for such constructions (mostly made in China) and you need to avoid them as much as possible, since they do not shine with reliability. 

The automatic design assumes a special pin in the overflow hole, on which the lid is placed. After turning this cover, the plug will itself go down into the drain hole and close it. Naturally, such designs of siphons are more expensive than semi-automatic ones, since they are much, much more convenient. The basic rule here also applies - you should not save too much. After all, the adage “the miser pays twice” has been around for thousands of years, and it works for most of these situations. For automatic and semi-automatic draining systems too.
