Shower channel consists of several parts:
- Case
- Siphon
- Shutter
- Grille
- Pipe for water drainage
Shutter is one of the important elements of the shower system. There are several types of valves: dry, hydro (wet) and combined.
Water seal – prevents the penetration of odors through water that remains inside the trap in small quantities. This option can be applied where regularly used shower. If a long time water does not penetrate in the system, all the smell of sewage penetrated into the room. For example: if you select the option shutter to the country, where water drainage will be extremely rare, it is better to choose a dry slide.

There is also a more budget option – traps with water seal.
Dry shutter – most often, it is a ball or a hat placed on top of the drain trap. When the ladder fills with water, the item gradually rises, and thereby opens the drain. When water flow stops, the gate falls and blocks the access of air from the sewer. This type of shutter is used in premises with occasional drainage.
Dry shutter is of several types:
- the float, which is at the top of the aisle. When there is a flow of water - it rises and after draining falls and blocks the passage;
- membrane, starts to work because of the pressure of the water. When water flow the shutter quickly opens and closes with a spring element.
