I’ve got a clogged sink, and have been reading the labels on a bunch of different products lately. I’d always assumed that they were a strong acid of sorts, which would dissolve whatever sort of material was built up in the pipes. But I’ve noticed that a lot of these products specify that they’re non-corrosive, so I’m not sure what other sort of mechanism may be at play here.
*in that one country that inexplicably banned the installation of bottle traps
This will not work in modern plumbing
Can you elaborate?
Show a yank this picture and watch them start frothing at the mouth and shrieking about “muh code” 😂
Are you from the king’s land where you need separate taps for hot and cold water or the one where you stand on the pissing grates at the urinal?
I’m pretty sure we’re allowed mixer taps, I mean there’s one in my kitchen after all. But you’re right, they are much less common. I wonder why that is? I’m not sure what the pissing grate is, I feel like I’ve seen one though.
What a strange thing to have a superiority complex over. “It is legal to install plumbing which can’t be mechanically cleaned.”
If you think a random piss-take shitpost is a “superiority complex” you most likely have an inferiority complex and shite plumbing mate 😂
as a non-plumber what are the benefits of a bottle vs P style trap?
No tools needed to clean it, you just unscrew that bit at the bottom, and also apparently you get a superiority complex according to some bloke on the internet lmao
with a p trap you don’t need to unscrew anything though, right?
it’s just snake it and be done?
You can also unscrew it though.
