McAlpine Q10 40mm 1½” Shallow Bath Trap
McAlpine Q10 is a 40mm / 1½” shallow bath trap for bath waste installations. It is designed for use where a compact, low-profile trap is needed below the bath, especially where there is limited space between the bath waste and the floor.
McAlpine Q10 Trade Overview
The McAlpine Q10 bath trap is a practical choice for plumbers, bathroom fitters and maintenance teams working on domestic bath waste pipework. Its shallow body helps when fitting traps below low baths, replacement baths and tight under-bath spaces.
This trap has a 19mm water seal and is designed for use with McAlpine bath wastes. The 1½” Multifit compression outlet is suitable for common waste pipe materials including plastic, copper and lead pipe, giving installers flexibility when connecting into new or existing bath waste pipework.
The white polypropylene construction gives a lightweight, durable fitting for everyday plumbing work. The simple compression design also makes it useful for repairs, replacements and refurbishment jobs where the existing bath waste route needs to be reused.

Why Choose a Shallow Bath Trap?
A shallow bath trap is useful when there is not enough clearance below the bath for a deeper trap. The McAlpine Q10 gives installers a compact 40mm bath trap option while still providing a proper waste connection for standard bath waste pipework.
This makes it a useful stock item for plumbers and bathroom fitters. It is especially handy on replacement jobs where the existing bath sits close to the floor or the waste pipe route needs to stay low.
Installation Notes
Before fitting, check that the bath waste and waste pipe size are suitable for a 40mm / 1½” trap. Cut the waste pipe cleanly and make sure it is fully seated inside the Multifit compression outlet. Tighten the compression nut securely by hand, then run water through the bath waste and check all joints for leaks.
The McAlpine Q10 is a shallow bath trap with a 19mm water seal. For sink or basin waste installations, use a suitable 40mm sink trap or 32mm basin trap instead.
