12 best siphons

Siphon is the link between plumbing and sewage. The siphon consists of two threaded nozzles and a structure that provides a delay inside a constantly defined amount of water. If you connect a sink or bathroom to the pipes without this element, then unpleasant odors will begin to seep into the room. To help with the choice, we offer a rating of the best siphons, prepared on the basis of customer reviews and analysis of product characteristics. TOP-12 is divided into categories so that it is convenient to go directly to the desired form for specific tasks.

How to choose a siphon

Since there are a large number of siphons, so as not to get lost, we suggest that you consider the main selection criteria. This will help to better understand the benefits of certain products, as well as the features of the installation. Siphons are chosen by looking at:

1. Diameters of connection and drain. The thread of the pipe to be connected to the plumbing should correspond to the pitch and diameter at the installation site. The second edge of the siphon, mounted in the sewage system, should be suitable in diameter to the collector tee.
2. Product material. Make siphons of plastic and polypropylene. It is cheap, but a little aesthetic. Plastic thread with a strong tightening may burst. Brass and stainless siphons are more durable and durable, but require a large purchase cost.
3. Nozzle height. It is important that the top connection for the connection can be adjusted in height. Then it will be easy to combine plumbing with sewage. Without adjustment, exact dimensions will be required with an accuracy of no more than 2-3 mm.
4. Ability to overlap the drain. Choosing a siphon is worth considering the mechanism of overlapping drain (for washing and rinsing dishes, bathing, washing). This can be done manually (with a stopper) or automatically (with a button, with a cable). The last option is more convenient, but more expensive.
5. Overflow. The second hole located in the upper part of the plumbing. Designed to control the level of recruited fluid. Such a design is to look for a bath and a deep shower.
6. Dimensions. Siphons can be from 50 to 400 mm in height, which affects the required space for installation. Compact models are required for a bath or shower stall. For the sink in the kitchen or bathroom is not important.
7. Cleaning option. In the siphon garbage accumulates, which narrows the permeability. Periodic maintenance requires removal of parts and cleaning. If a special sump flask is provided for this, removal of sludge will be easier. Otherwise, you have to unwind the knee completely. The version with a sump is convenient if a jewel has fallen into the sewer (earring, stud from the nose). It will not fall into the pipe further.

AlcaPLAST A41

Rating: 4.5

Closes our rating category siphon from AlcaPlast from the budget segment. This product is made of polypropylene with white pigment. In view of the manufacture of plastic, it is not recommended to install the model by an open method and it will be necessary to organize also a cabinet that hides a siphon. The kit includes a long screw for tightening the outlet and the drain part. Its dimensions make it possible to install a siphon on a ceramic or stainless steel sink with a neck thickness up to 6 cm. The bottle design saves space under the sink and reliably holds back the passage of gases. To make plastic nuts easier to turn, the manufacturer has equipped them with rare relief strips.

The main advantage, for which the siphon is included in the ranking of the best, is its price, the most affordable in the category. Despite the budget model is equipped with a rubber stopper. The socket for installation in a sink is made of stainless steel. Adjusting the height of the details ahead of some participants in the ranking and ranges from 8.5 to 19 cm, which users like in the reviews.

The best shower siphons

When installing the shower tray between the floor and the drain hole of the container, there is little space left, therefore compact models are needed in height. Even the diameter of the hole in the shower is different from the sink (requires increased throughput), which requires specific siphons, the rating of which is presented below.

AlcaPlast (A49K) (90 mm)

Rating: 4.9

The first place ranking in the category of shower siphons is occupied by goods in the style of Hi-tech. This is a compact siphon made of plastic, but the upper part, in contact with the water in the pan, is painted with chrome. From the side it looks like alloy steel. The model is suitable for shower trays with a drain diameter of 90 mm. The manufacturer provides a 2 year warranty for the goods. Connecting to the sewage is carried out from the side, which is convenient for low pallets and customers like in reviews.In one minute up to 43 liters of fluid is passed through the pipe, so the user will not stand in a puddle. The tightness of communications provide two sealing gum of high quality.

The product has been added to the best rating due to the original decorative rosette, which creates the illusion of integrity of the bottom of the pallet. On top of the item has five minimum holes, which, in fact, serve for the passage of air. The main drain is through the side entrances, hidden from human eyes. This form has an attractive appearance and effectively holds back fallen jewels.

Radaway (R399) (90 mm)

Rating: 4.8

The second place in the rating is given to goods from the Polish manufacturer of sanitary ware. The siphon is made of plastic with a glossy surface. But the main receiving part is made of stainless steel. The connection to the shower tray is made not by one, but by three screws at once, which the owners like in the reviews for their reliability. A bump stop for water is installed on top to prevent direct droplets from entering the drain and splashing back out onto the person. The edge of the plate on the socket is decorated with an engraved laser inscription, which indicates the Polish brand and serves as an additional decor.

Experts included a siphon in the rating because of a more convenient form of connection to the sewer line in the house. The model has a short direct exit and is supplemented with a pipe bent at 45 degrees. This provides easy installation on either side in a similar manifold tee. Another advantage of the siphon is the expansion of the outlet pipe from 40 to 50 mm in diameter. Such a size is a standard for plastic sewer pipes, and installation will not require additional adapters.

WIRQUIN James 50mm Drain 40mm

Rating: 4.7

Closes the category of rating product from the domestic manufacturer. It is designed for a 50 mm diameter hole in the shower tray. Sealed installation provides a tight elastic, pressed stainless metal socket. The gasket is self-centering here, so it’s impossible to skew. A feature of the siphon is a built-in filter, which well holds the hair and other debris that the owners like in reviews. Although the presence of a barrier requires periodic maintenance (disassembly and cleaning), it will prevent clogging further along the collector, which is much more difficult to eliminate.

According to our experts, the model deserves a place in the rating due to the rotating part of the body. Rotation is possible 360 ​​degrees, which allows you to direct the drain tube in any direction at a different angle. In this position, the siphon passes up to 30 l / min. If the shower tray is high, then vertical drainage is possible, facilitating throughput up to 56 l / min.

The best bath siphons

For a bath, a siphon must necessarily contain an overflow in the design, since the container is used not only for the shower, but also for filling. Overflow will not allow fluid to go beyond the sides of the bath. Another important element is the overlap of the drain for filling. Here is a ranking of various popular options for products in this category.

Grohe Talentofill (28990000)

Rating: 4.9

In the first place is the German super-equipped model. Plumbing refers to the collection of Talento. A bath siphon with a drain hole of 50 mm is suitable. Most of the elements are made of polypropylene, but the key parts (pipe with a thread to the water supply system and the socket) are cast from alloy steel. Model dimensions are 52x29 mm. Completed siphon drain arc with a bend at 45 degrees, which expands the options on the side of the output and connect to the sewer. Owners in reviews like a stylish vertical panel with the brand logo that serves as an additional decoration.

The product has been rated for its equipment. It includes a channel for connecting the water supply, so there is no need for an additional tap to the bath - water is supplied from the nozzle in the overflow. Another model has a semi-automatic valve for closing the drain, which is started by turning the round switch on the side wall of the bath. This does not require additional plugs and makes it easy to draw and drain.

WIRQUIN SB600

Rating: 4.8

The second place ranking was taken by the budget model, made entirely of polypropylene. The siphon consists of a vertical stand, the drain neck of which is decorated with an overlay decorated with chrome. From the outside it seems to be stainless. From the bottom, a curved pipe is attached to the rack, which serves as a hydraulic seal. Overflow brought from the other side through the corrugations. Siphon is designed for baths with a hole diameter of 40 mm. Owners in the reviews like the compactness of the model, whose dimensions are 143x100 mm. It will easily fit under the lowest bathroom. In terms of the thickness of the girth, the double-sided siphon clamp is suitable for a maximum cross-section of a bath of 16 mm, so it becomes easy not only to steel, but also to cast iron products.

We drew attention to the siphon, because the curved knee is optimally thought out for cleaning. To remove the settled debris, it is enough to unscrew the top nut (in other models without a drain bulb, two nuts are unscrewed at once). This will allow for maintenance and ensure good throughput.

AlcaPLAST A504KM

Rating: 4.7

The siphon with a neat design continues our rating, where only two mirror washers are available on the drain and overflow. Reception openings are located under them and do not frighten the person taking a bath with their “bowels”. The tubular structure has a corrugated hose for connecting two parts. The siphon is designed for installation in the drain hole up to 70 mm, leaving 50 mm free. The thickness of the crimp installed on the cross section of the bath to 16 mm. The tube to the manifold is expanded to a standard size to do without adapters.

We added siphon to the top rankings, as the best in price and quality. The cost of several thousand rubles is fully justified by the presence of an automatic click-clak valve, which many users like in reviews. This design does not require the use of additional cork on the chain, spoiling the appearance of the bath. The owner simply press on the mirror cover of the drain and it closes, which will allow to empty the container. Pressing it again will open the way to remove the liquid.

ANI Plast E155

Rating: 4.6

The budget model from the domestic manufacturer closes the rating of the best bath siphons. Naturally, all buyers in reviews like her price, which is ten times more affordable than the leaders of the rating. The siphon is made of plastic, and two sockets in contact with water are made of stainless steel. They are tightened with simple screws using a screwdriver. The manufacturer tried to create a stylistic unity by completing the cork and overflow seal from blue rubber. So that the cap is not lost, there is a neat chain with ball-like links. Siphon is suitable for baths with a hole diameter of 70 mm. The installation height of the construction is only 124 mm, so it can be mounted to the plumbing on low legs.

Although the model and budget, but has what is missing from others - a corrugated pipe to enter the collector. The part stretches up to 50 cm and makes it easy to connect to the trunk without growing or cutting the nozzle. This simplifies installation and does not require a jigsaw.
