Trap Primer Fitting on Drain

Safeguarding your business from harmful gases is of utmost importance, and that's where a trap primer comes to the rescue! This nifty device, also called a trap primer valve fitting, ensures that toxic gases stay far away from your food processing areas.

CD12STP-FD: 12 x 12 x 6.25" deep with Trap Primer Adapter, 12 gauge, all type 304 (CF8) stainless steel square industrial floor drain with loose set anti-tilt extra-heavy-duty perimeter drainage cover, 1/2" top plate frame, perforated removable bucket basket with lift handle, pre-sloped seamless bottom sump, and pre-pour concrete stabilizing anchor ring.

Just like the P-trap, a trap primer is relatively simple to understand. It’s a device that adds water to your plumbing trap. That’s it. And here’s why you need it.

If liquid doesn’t go down the drain often enough, the liquid seal – the water at the bottom of the U-shaped trap — will eventually evaporate. With the "water" seal gone, sewer gas is now able to get through the drain pipe and into your processing production rooms. That’s a serious problem, and can lead to a plumbing emergency or even a health emergency and/or food product recalls.

If our regular selection of stainless drains, trench drains, or slot drains doesn't suit your requirements, don't worry!
