  • Waste water from sinks, baths, etc. enters through the top inlet of a gully trap, while foul water from sweeping of rooms or courtyards enters from side inlet.
  • Anti-siphon traps have a reduced water-way at the inlet side, while the outlet being larger prevents the pipe from filling full and causing siphonic action.
  • Intercepting traps prevent foul gases from street sewer to enter into the house.
  • P, Q and S traps are classified according to their shape.
