Modern siphon for sinks

Often, the operation of many devices is hidden from view, and many notice that something starts to happen with a deviation from the norm, only in the event of the device coming out of the system. This can be said about a small gasket that serves as a sealant in mixers and does not allow water leakage when the tap is closed or on the safety valve of a water heating device, the breakdown of which is only noticed if cold water arrives from the tap where the hot water should go.

Exactly such an inconspicuous worker who provides us with comfortable living is a siphon for the sink, which is a tube with a bend, where the liquid medium from a vessel at a high level flows into a vessel that is lower. Due to the curved structure, in the lower part of the bend there is always water, which prevents penetration of an unpleasant odor of sewage from the sewage system. This is only one of the main tasks that the siphon performs for the sink. Another important task that is entrusted to him is to have a capacity that ensures a quick discharge of incoming water.

Modern siphons for the sink differ in their design solutions. So, they can be bottle, corrugated or pipe type. Each of the above species has its advantages and disadvantages.

The pipe siphon for the shell does not have any distinctive characteristics. This is an ordinary curved tube, which was first made of cast iron, and now made of plastic, having a U or S-shape. To clean the siphon from foreign objects, a special hole is provided, which in the working state is hermetically sealed.

The corrugated siphon for a sink from a pipe that can be folded must be of an appropriate diameter. Its distinctive feature is the possibility of installing a sink regardless of the location of the sewer. Such a siphon has only one connection with the sink and is located near its outlet. Bend knee to create a water seal is made with a clamp. The negative side can be attributed to poor tolerance of the minus air temperature, restrictions on the drainage of hot water and the fact that the folds of the corrugation very quickly become clogged with grease and dirt.

The bottle or bottle siphon for the sink is a rigid structure, in shape resembling a bottle. This type of siphon can be found today in almost every home. Water in such a "bottle" is constantly, except for this, you can always get a small object that was accidentally washed away by washing hands, for example, a ring. This advantage of the siphon turns around and its disadvantage, as the bottom of the "bottle" is filled very quickly with various deposits, and for its full functionality it is required to carry out regular works on cleaning it.

The installed siphon for the sink with overflow allows you not to worry about the outlet of water over the edge of the overflowed shell in the event that the outlet hole is clogged with foreign objects.
