A:

The larger the trap the better, as this gives a better settlement and more water to allow biological action to take place (the design of the trap is an important consideration).
Traps are designed to stop material from sinks entering the drainage system, however, they are not waste disposal units, therefore the management of the washing-up facility and the control of solid waste/chemicals entering the sink outlet is a major consideration.
