Easy Clean Sink Trap

Sink traps (the U-shaped bend under the sink that serves the dual purpose of preventing sewer smells from coming up the drain and keeping accidentally dropped items from disappearing for good) are immensely useful things, but they can be a huge pain to take apart when necessary for cleaning or recovery purposes. It often requires large pliers or a pipe wrench, and sometimes considerable brute force depending on how shoddy a job was done of installing it in the first place. This task would be made considerably simpler by attaching the trap by means of toggle latches rather than the traditional plumbing nuts. Simply line up the washers on both sides of the trap, and fasten the latches to create a seal and hold the trap in place.
