Normal discharge of dirty water into the sewer is carried out by means of a siphon. What are siphons for showers, and which ones are better to use in the bathroom? This article will be devoted to this issue. The drain device is a curved pipe. After the water supply stops, the drains stop draining completely. What is the reason for such a form of the product? The answer is quite simple: the siphon for the shower tray is a kind of barrier to the penetration of various unpleasant odors into the bathroom. Why? Yes, because the pipe section in front of the so-called knee (bend) is always filled with water, thus forming a water plug that prevents the appearance of "aromas".
Varieties of drain installations
Currently, from a wide variety of siphons, you can choose the most suitable option. Despite the fact that many models are quite similar in appearance, there is still a difference in their purpose. Today, in a specialized store, you can easily choose the typesiphon, which will be necessary for you. This can be a corrugated version, and a pipe model of a drain installation, which, by the way, is present in almost every home. Separately, siphons for showers and bathtubs can be distinguished. They are also necessary for the normal operation of the washing machine. Well, in the kitchen, you simply cannot do without this product.
Difference between bath and shower drains
Siphons for showers are significantly different from those used for bathtubs. So, for example, a drain device for a bathroom consists of several pipes. Each of them has a specific purpose. One is responsible for the operation of the drain, and the second is provided in case you forgot to turn off the water in time. The connection of two pipes takes place directly near the water seal. The main criterion for choosing such products is the length of the pipes. It is this characteristic that is responsible for the correct drain. The shower siphon and its use have their own characteristics.
Installing a drain in a shower stall
First of all, remember that this design for a shower stall is also known as a drain. You have the choice of either installing the siphon in the cab tray or embedding it in the floor. It should also be remembered that siphons for shower cabins cannot be closed with any kind of plug. The use of such drain devices will still cause some inconvenience, since you will either have to significantly reduce the height of the shower cabin, ormake a recess in the floor. It must be taken into account that the average height of the siphon itself is from 8 to 20 cm. Many people believe that using a shower stall will bring a lot of problems, but this is not at all the case. Today, you can use the help of a special ladder, which is quite simple to mount in the floor. All you need is just to bring sewer pipes to the ladder, and after all the work is completed, just cover the floor with tiles. This design can be used not only for the shower, but also for the bathroom, for the balcony and even for the garage.
