Anyone know if there is a bottle trap connection tube minimum length?
(The pipe between the trap and the basin)
I would like mine as short as posible so the trap is less obvious.

Just wondered if I could cut it really short or does there have to be minimum drop distance before the trap for good drainage or something?

Cheers!

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
