Just an explanation

Stephen,
The Siphonaussschnitt is the part cut away from the cupboard underneath the sink or from the washstand to allow for the u-bend or drainpipe ('Siphon'). As the shape of the drainpipe varies depending on the type of sink you have, the company offers a variety of models. I'm afraid I cannot offer you the technical term.
The first image on the page below shows a washstand with a Siphonausschnitt.
Peer comment(s):

agree Ken Cox : since you provided the explanation, I'll suggest a translation: trap cutout (literal translation; there may be other options)

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Karin, though really I had figured out what a Siphonausschnitt is & was looking for a technical term: I think 'cutout' sounds reasonable but Internet research does not suggest that it is in fact widely used"
