Floor drain traps that do not connect to a water-supplied fixture will tend to evaporate. Other traps that are not periodically used or are installed in overly dry areas also will lose their seal by simple evaporation. The result of this loss allows known health hazards such as hydrogen sulfide, methane, bacteria, viruses and mold to enter the working space.
A trap primer is a flow control valve that adds water to a P-trap to maintain a water seal, preventing sewer gases from entering a building. There are two types of trap primers (1) Pressure-Drop Trap Primer and (2) An Electronic Trap Primer. - Available from J.R. Smith Fluid Controls
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.
Drains are USDA approved and known as the industry standard across the United States.
