When it comes to designing or renovating a bathroom, most of the attention tends to go toward tiles, taps, and fittings. But there's one unsung hero beneath the surface that plays a vital role in the function and longevity of your space: the shower trap.
At Hydrotec SA, we believe that what you don’t always see should work just as beautifully as what you do. That’s where the Michelle Horizontal Shower Trap comes in—a product that blends high performance, reliable drainage, and timeless design, all in one understated component.
Why "Horizontal" Matters
The Michelle Horizontal Shower Trap is designed with a side outlet, meaning it drains water laterally instead of straight down. This makes it ideal for bathrooms where vertical drainage space is limited or where pipes need to be routed horizontally beneath the floor slab.
It’s a clever design decision that allows for maximum installation flexibility without compromising performance.
Elegant on the Outside. Tough on the Inside.
This trap may be discreet, but it doesn't hold back when it comes to durability and quality.
Made with robust, corrosion-resistant materials
Engineered for long-lasting performance
Designed to integrate seamlessly with a variety of bathroom aesthetics
Its minimalist profile allows it to work behind the scenes, while its sturdy construction ensures peace of mind.
Built for Real Homes
Whether you're a plumber, contractor, architect, engineer, or homeowner, the Michelle Horizontal Trap offers something for everyone:
For the installer: it's quick to fit, with reliable sealing and no guesswork.
For the designer: it doesn’t interfere with the clean lines of a modern bathroom.
For the homeowner: it offers quiet confidence and a product built to last.
For the architect: it supports efficient layouts without compromising design integrity.
For the engineer: it provides a practical, well-tested solution that meets modern plumbing standards.
