Chezy 2 All Access™ Floor Trap
This innovative patented floor trap by Chezy is used below the floor slab to remove water from the floor surface. The body of the floor trap has side connections for the basin, long bath, washing machine, kitchen sink and etc.
The End to All Your Floor Traps Problem
The bottom of the floor trap body has a screwed-on cap that can be removed from below the slab to access the outgoing pipe for rodding in the event of blockages.
The catalogue also states that the system can be serviced from the top of the bathroom, allowing maintenance either from above or below the floor slab.
When the baffled container is not used, the system can operate as a conventional floor trap. When the baffle container is used, it provides the top-access function.

Why Chezy 2 All Access™ Floor Trap ?
There have been numerous complaints from plumbers (installers), developers and house owners with the existing floor traps available in the market. The main issues have been foul smell in the bathroom and maintenance issues during installation and after the house owner moves in. The Chezy All Access™™ floor traps eliminates all these problems and gives you peace of mind.
Chezy has developed a new floor trap that can both be serviced from the top (bathroom) or from below (floor slab), hence the name All Access™™ (Top & Bottom Access™™) Floor Traps.
Designed Around the Main Failure Points of Floor Traps
The catalogue identifies recurring complaints involving foul smell, evaporation, rubber seals and difficult maintenance. The All Access™ concept is presented as Chezy’s response to those issues.
Foul Smell
Described as a result of loss of the water seal, either through evaporation or failure of the rubber ring used to retain the water in the trap.
Evaporation
Rubber / Rubber Rings
All Access™ Concept
The supplied page explains that Chezy developed a floor trap that can be serviced from the top (bathroom) or from below the floor slab, hence the “All Access™” naming.
Its extendable container is described as incorporating a water seal of about 50mm, with flow rates exceeding 80 litres/min. The page also states third-party certification to BS EN 1253.
Top Access™ vs Conventional Floor Traps
The catalogue compares the serviceability of top-access and conventional floor traps,
then positions the Chezy 2 All Access™ system as an attempt to retain the useful characteristics of both.
Top Access Floor Traps
- Easy for the owner to service without going below the slab.
- During tiling, concrete can enter the trap and may be difficult for the plumber to clear.
- The catalogue says typical overall trap depth is about 200mm below the grating.
- Misalignment of collar and body can make the bell or insert difficult to remove.
- An opening greater than 120mm in the collar is described as important for maintenance access.
Conventional Floor Traps
- Maintenance access is from the bottom of the trap below the slab.
- Being further from the heat source helps the water remain in the trap longer.
- Leaving the bottom cap off during construction allows debris and cement to fall out.
- The catalogue notes that conventional traps can be 300mm or more from the grating.
- Bottom-only access is identified as a significant maintenance problem in condominiums and apartments.
The Benefits of Chezy 2 All Access™ Floor Trap
In other words, the best of both worlds (all advantages of both the top access and conventional floor traps)
with none of their disadvantages. It is ‘Perfection At It’s Very Best’.
Dual-Side Servicing
Can be serviced or maintained from the top of the bathroom or from below the floor slab.
Debris-Free Installation
Prevents debris or cement from falling into the floor trap during tiling by keeping the cap in place until the tiling work is completed.
Easy Maintenance
After the unit is occupied, simply remove the grating and pull out the adjustable baffle container for cleaning. Clean, replace and reinstall with ease.
Prevents Backflow & Soap Bubbles
Helps prevent backflow or soap bubble issues, even at high flow rates and when installed at least 250mm from the grating.
Reduced Water Seal Evaporation
Positioned further away from the heat source, helping provide longer-lasting protection against water seal evaporation.
Suitable for Transfer Slabs
