A drain or nahani trap plays a very important role in the plumbing system by preventing sewer gases, pests, foul odors into the indoor spaces. It works with a very effective mechanism by creation of water seal. It is like when the waste water flows through the drain pipe it enters the trap’s curved section and further this section holds a small amount of water creating a barrier between the indoor environment and the sewer septic system.
