Tip of the Day



T-trap vs. P-trap

Have you ever dropped a ring down a sink drain and had to take the pipes apart to retrieve it. It's no fun and it makes a big mess. Today, you'll learn how to avoid the P-trap -- that S-shaped curve in the drain that holds a small amount of water. It blocks sewer gas from coming in and catches all sorts of things like grease, hair goo and rings. You'll learn how you can now replace your P-trap with a clever new T-trap that just has been introduced. It easily installs in standard drains and has a pullout screened insert that catches all things that go down the drain, including rings. It even has a small view window to let you see what's in there before you slide out the little catchall drawer tray. At only $8, the T-trap is hard to beat. And that's the On The House Tip for today.
