What is a drain trap, and why is it important to have one that works properly?
A drain trap is the device that connects the sink to the wall drain pipe. It performs a critical role: first, it drains water efficiently from the sink; second, it blocks bad odors from the sewage system so they don’t rise into the bathroom — thanks to the water seal formed in the trap’s bend.
A properly functioning trap means water drains quickly, there’s no odor, and there are no leaks under the sink. That’s why choosing the right trap is just as important as choosing the sink itself.
Advantages of the GTR series over generic drain traps
There are many drain traps on the market, but not all of them are equal. Golan Industries’ GTR series stands out in several ways:
1. High-quality material — made from premium-grade PP (polypropylene), resistant to heat and chemicals.
2. Thin, compact body — takes up minimal space under the sink.
3. Perfect sealing — high-quality rubber gaskets prevent any leakage.
4. Hand-tightened connection — no tools required, making it easy for homeowners who want to replace it themselves.
📋How do you install a GTR drain trap in a bathroom sink?
Remove the old trap
Unscrew the trap by hand — usually no tools are needed. Keep a towel underneath, as a little water may spill.
Clean the pipe
Wipe the wall drain pipe clean. If there’s any dirt, use a small brush.
Connect the GTR
Insert the tapered end into the wall pipe, and connect the trap to the sink stopper from above. Tighten by hand.
Check for leaks
Turn on the faucet, let water run for 30 seconds, and check underneath for any drips.
Replace the trap every five years
Even if the trap looks fine, it’s a good idea to replace it every 4–5 years. This helps prevent sudden leaks that usually show up at the worst possible time.
Conclusion
Golan’s GTR series is the safe choice for your bathroom sink — easy to install, durable, and designed to handle drainage quietly and without odors. If you’re looking for a reliable long-term solution, this is exactly what you need.
