OATEY 701-1 P-TRAP 1.25, 17 GAUGE

The Oatey 701-1 is a 1-1/4 inch P-trap, so it suits 1-1/4 inch tubular drain lines. That is the size normally found on a lavatory sink rather than a kitchen sink, which usually runs 1-1/2 inch. If your tailpiece and wall drain are 1-1/2 inch, this is not the trap for that opening.

17 gauge refers to the wall thickness of the tubular trap body. It is the heavier of the two common tubular weights, so it holds up better to repeated disassembly for snaking and cleanouts than thin-wall 22 gauge tubular. For apartment turns, hotel baths, and school restrooms where the trap gets pulled more than once in its life, the heavier wall is the reason to spec it.

It is a complete P-trap, meaning the U-bend plus the trap arm that carries the water out to the wall drain, not just a J-bend half. Ordering the 701-1 gets you the assembled trap for a 1-1/4 inch lavatory drain.

Order Oatey manufacturer part number 701-1. There is a single configuration, so there is no finish, gauge, or size option to specify beyond the model itself.

Each 701-1 trap weighs 0.85 pounds and takes 0.071 cubic feet of space. That is the number to use when you are building out a cart of fifty traps for a multi-family turn or pricing a pallet for a job site.
