What makes the American-style trap stand out?
The American P-trap differs from the classic trap in several key ways:
Angled P-shape – the trap body is relatively flat, helping save more space inside the kitchen cabinet.
Wide drainage opening – suited to the large volumes of water from an active kitchen sink.
Dishwasher connection – an inlet for the dishwasher drain hose that goes directly into the trap body, with no external connectors.
For families that use both the dishwasher and sink heavily, this is a convenient and reliable long-term solution.
GTA vs. a standard kitchen trap – what's the difference?
Not all kitchen sink traps offer a built-in dishwasher connection. The GTA Series stands out for several reasons:
1. Integrated dishwasher connection – a dedicated outlet for the dishwasher drain hose, built into the trap body. Result: fewer connectors, fewer potential leak points.
2. Smooth flow – the drain-channel design minimizes clogging.
3. Premium PP material – resistant to grease, detergents, and food residue.
4. Compact body – suitable for narrow kitchen cabinets.
📋Installing the GTA trap in four steps
Disconnect the dishwasher
Disconnect the dishwasher drain hose from the old trap before removing it.
Remove the old trap
Unscrew the trap by hand, remove it, and wipe down the wall pipe.
Connect the GTA
Attach the trap body to the sink drain from below, insert it into the wall pipe, and connect the dishwasher hose to the dedicated inlet. Tighten everything by hand.
Test
Run a short dishwasher cycle and, at the same time, turn on the faucet – check that there are no leaks at either point.
Important: dishwasher hose direction
Make sure the dishwasher hose is routed upward before it enters the trap. This prevents wastewater from flowing back from the drain into the dishwasher.
Conclusion
Golan's GTA Series is the right choice for an active kitchen sink with a dishwasher. Installation is simple, performance is excellent, and the trap will serve you reliably for years.
