The ProSet Trap Guard®
Drain System
Trap Guard® 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.
You
can think of it as a “waterless trap primer” - providing the
ultimate flexibility in placing drains. Additional advantages are
provided at the bottom of this page.

How
Trap Guard® Works
The Trap Guard® sets watertight inside the
drain and stays open when water is flowing but closes when the water
stops. When the Trap Guard® 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.
