A trap drain, often referred to as a flex adapter, is a flexible component used to connect traps to drain pipes in situations where a rigid connection is not feasible. It provides a watertight seal while allowing for slight movement or misalignment, making it useful in retrofits or tight spaces where precise alignment is challenging. Trap drains are typically made from rubber or flexible plastic and are secured using clamps or slip joints. Proper installation of trap drains ensures leak-free connections and compliance with plumbing codes.
