Trap Guard^Ž solves the problem of infrequently used drains by eliminating the need for a trap primer while preventing the emission of sewer gases and the backup of raw sewage into living or work areas. It is much less expensive, much more effective and much simpler to maintain than a trap primer.

How Trap Guard^Ž Works
The Trap Guard^Ž sits watertight inside the drain and stays open when water is flowing but closes when the water stops. When the Trap Guard^Ž is closed, it successfully resists any emission of sewer gas, even if that gas is under significant pressure. It uses a flexible tube made of a space age, Elastomeric TM material that is treated to roll up when water is not passing through but is flexible enough to open and permit water flow, from an intermittent drip to fire-hose type flows.

The Changing Role of the Floor Drain

Initially, the floor drain was used for drainage during the washing of floors, the emptying of old, gravity-drained washing machines, etc.

Now, however, with dry floor-cleaning techniques and washing machines that pump waste water directly into the drainage system, their role has changed. Today, they primarily serve as emergency drains. That is, they drain water that results from a water emergency due to an overflow, blockage, water appliance malfunction, etc.

However, emergency drains, by definition, are not used frequently and the requirement to use a trap primer severely restricts their usefulness. If we now think consciously about how drains can be used to limit the impact of water emergencies and we take advantage of the flexibility of location provided by Trap Guard, it opens up a whole new range of possibilities.

We have outlined just a few of these possibilities that you can review by clicking here.
