How to Install a Handicap Lavatory P-Trap

P-trap safety covers are designed to cover the supply lines and drains under lavatory sinks. The p-trap safety covers completely enclose exposed plumbing that might otherwise cause burning, cutting or bruising of the legs of disabled persons who are confined to a power scooter or wheelchair. P-trap safety covers are easy to install, requiring only minor assembly. The p-trap covers are theft deterrent as well, because while the installation is simple they cannot be removed quickly.
