U bend
Does anyone know the exact term for a U bend? I have been calling it a "siphon" or a "coude", but wonder if there is a precise name. the plumber inissts he has put a "coude" in under the shower tray, but I can see there is no U bend. As he has jointed it into the waste pipe, we are getting bit of an odour!

Re: U bend
Thanks both. I have now explained and he knows what I think is causing the problem.
Fingers crossed
