McAlpine AA10-BL 32mm 1¼” Black Adjustable Bottle Trap
McAlpine AA10-BL is a 32mm / 1¼” black adjustable inlet slim bottle trap for basin waste installations. It is designed for bathrooms, cloakrooms, vanity units and exposed basin pipework where a black finish is preferred over a standard white trap.
McAlpine AA10-BL Trade Overview
The McAlpine AA10-BL is a practical choice for plumbers, bathroom fitters and maintenance teams working on modern basin waste pipework. The black finish makes it suitable for exposed installations where the trap remains visible below the basin.
The adjustable inlet helps line the trap up with the basin waste outlet and existing waste pipework. This is useful on new installs, replacement jobs and bathroom refurbishment work where the pipe positions may not line up perfectly.
This trap has a 75mm water seal to help prevent drain odours from coming back through the basin waste. It also features a 1¼” Multifit compression outlet, suitable for common waste pipe materials including plastic, copper and lead pipe.

Why Choose a Black Adjustable Bottle Trap?
A black bottle trap is often chosen when the pipework below the basin is visible. It gives a cleaner, more modern finish than a standard white trap and works well with black taps, black wastes and darker bathroom fittings.
The adjustable inlet on the McAlpine AA10-BL gives installers extra fitting flexibility. This can save time when replacing an existing trap or working around waste pipework that is already fixed in place.
Installation Notes
Before fitting, check that the basin waste outlet and waste pipe are suitable for a 32mm / 1¼” trap. Cut the waste pipe cleanly and make sure it is fully seated inside the Multifit compression outlet. Adjust the inlet height to suit the basin waste, then tighten all compression nuts securely by hand.
After installation, run water through the basin and check every joint for leaks. Make sure the trap remains accessible for future cleaning and maintenance.
