Waterway Plastics 310-5400 Pump Trap Assembly - 1.5in x 1.5in

What This Part Is Used For
This pump trap assembly combines the trap body, basket housing, and plumbing ports into a complete unit. It is used on compatible Waterway pumps with 1.5 inch inlet and outlet connections. The assembly captures debris while directing water into the pump efficiently. It is typically replaced when multiple trap components are worn or damaged. This assembly simplifies pump-side repairs.

Why This Part Matters
A worn or leaking trap assembly can introduce air into the system and reduce pump performance. Misaligned or damaged trap components often cause persistent leaks that gaskets alone cannot fix. Replacing the complete assembly restores proper alignment and sealing. This reduces downtime and repeat service visits. A properly functioning trap protects the pump from debris-related damage.
