What is goose neck pipe?

Goose neck pipe refers to a type of plumbing pipe that has a curved, upward-sloping shape resembling the neck of a goose. It is typically used in sink and bathtub installations to accommodate the flow of water from the faucet to the drain.

The goose neck design helps to prevent the backflow of water by creating a natural trap that allows water to flow easily down the drain, but prevents it from coming back up. This makes it an essential component of most plumbing systems.

Goose neck pipes can be made from a variety of materials including brass, chrome-plated brass, stainless steel, and PVC. They are available in various heights and shapes to fit different sink and bathtub configurations.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of goose neck pipes is important to prevent clogs and ensure proper drainage. Using a plunger or drain snake can help remove any debris that may be blocking the pipe and causing slow drainage.
