Loosening plastic waste water trap
Hi,
The water from my hand basin is draining really slowly. I think the waste trap is clogged with hair. the trap is white plastic and slightly "hidden" behind a tall, porcelain pedestal beneath the bowl. I have tried to unscrew the trap using my hands but it is difficult to get an effective grip - and the trap seems jammed tight. How can I loosen the retaining nut on the water trap? The space beneath the bowl and behind the pedestal is quite tight and I can only get one hand round about one hald of the external surface of this plastic nut. Once it has moved half a turn I am sure the trap will unscrew easily. Thanks Clive |
