Everything you need to know to choose your Wirquin siphon

When you're tackling a bathroom renovation or simply need to replace that old fixture that's started giving you trouble, choosing the right drain is much more than just a technical detail. At Brikum, we know perfectly well that a Wirquin siphon is one of the smartest choices you can make today. This French brand hasn't just limited itself to manufacturing plastic parts; it has revolutionized home plumbing by creating solutions that adapt to any space and, above all, eliminate unpleasant odors forever. It's the kind of product that both professionals looking for speed and those who use the weekend to spruce up their homes appreciate.

What truly sets a Wirquin siphon apart is its impeccable hydraulic design. Nothing is more frustrating than slow drainage that leads to strange noises or, worse, dampness. By choosing this brand, you get a system that guarantees a constant water flow and an impenetrable barrier against sewer gases. Our catalog only includes models that we have proven to withstand the test of time and that also incorporate quick-cleaning systems to make maintenance a breeze.

Advantages of installing a Wirquin shower trap in your shower tray

The shower area is by far the one that suffers the most on a daily basis. Between hot water, soap scum, and accumulating hair, the drain has to be rock solid. Installing a Wirquin shower trap in a low-profile shower tray is the perfect solution when the space between the floor and the tray is minimal. The engineering behind these components allows water to drain away effortlessly, even in ultra-thin trays where other systems often fail.

If you're wondering what makes these mechanisms special, here are the key points:

  • Minimum height: some models are so compact that they fit in spaces where it seems impossible to install a drain:
  • Full access from above: you can remove the basket or membrane to clean accumulated dirt without having to call a plumber or dismantle half the shower:
  • Smart silicone membrane: some of the brand's designs replace the typical water plug with a membrane that doesn't dry out, ideal if you have a bathroom that you don't use daily:
  • Integrated seals: as they come pre-injected, the risk of the Wirquin siphon leaking due to improper rubber placement is virtually zero:

Types of Wirquin siphons according to bathroom needs

Every corner of your bathroom calls for a different solution. A designer sink that's on display is not the same as a vanity unit where the drain is hidden. At Brikum, we like to have options for everything, which is why we offer versions of the Wirquin siphon that are extendable, rigid, or have luxurious chrome finishes.

If your sink doesn't have a vanity unit, models with metallic finishes provide that clean, modern look you're after. On the other hand, if the drain is concealed, polypropylene models are the most functional choice thanks to their durability and price. The great thing about Wirquin siphons is that they're easy to adjust to fit perfectly with the wall connections typically found in Spanish homes, saving you unnecessary trips to the hardware store for missing parts.

Innovation in the design of the Wirquin shower siphon

Slim technology has revolutionized modern bathrooms. Wirquin shower traps are designed to allow for flush-to-floor installation without the need for extensive floor demolition. By significantly reducing the required depth, they make bathrooms much more accessible and safer for everyone, eliminating those steps that can sometimes be dangerous.

Furthermore, the fixing system for any Wirquin shower siphon is generally universal. This gives you peace of mind knowing that, whatever shower tray you buy—whether it's resin, mineral composite, or traditional ceramic—the fitting will be a perfect fit. At Brikum, we highly value this ease of installation because we know there's nothing more satisfying than finishing an installation yourself and seeing everything working like a charm.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wirquin Siphon

Is it difficult to clean a Wirquin shower trap if it gets clogged with limescale?

Not at all, most are designed so you just have to lift the cover and remove the filter by hand. Rinse it under the tap and it's as good as new in a minute.

What is the standard outlet size for a Wirquin sink drain?

The most common type in Spain is to find them with a 40-millimeter outlet, which is the current standard, although we also have options for older installations of 32 millimeters.

Does a Wirquin brand siphon really prevent bugs from coming out of the pipes?

Indeed. Both the water seal and the new silicone membranes act as a physical barrier that prevents unpleasant odors and any insects from entering through the main network.

Can I install a Wirquin shower siphon on a mineral composite shower tray?

No problem at all. Its fixing measurements are universal for the ninety millimeter holes that almost all resin and mineral-filled shower trays sold today have.

How long does a Wirquin siphon last before it needs to be replaced?

They are made of high-density polypropylene and with very high-quality seals, so if you don't use extremely strong chemicals, you'll have a drain for many years.
