Plumbing and drainage manufacturer Wavin has launched a new version of its HepVO waterless trap, designed to make installation as straightforward as possible.
With an updated design, that still features the sanitary seal, the company says this latest HepVO trap is easier and simpler to install than any of its predecessors.
A new addition is directional flow arrows on the underside of the fitting, designed to make it easier to align for installers when operating horizontally.
The original HepVO was a practical and hygienic solution to traditional traps, which can lose their water seal due to evaporation, siphonage, leaking or movement. The HepVO waterless trap was designed to solve this problem with a self-sealing, elastomeric membrane performing the same function as a water-filled trap, but without the potential drawbacks. The company says this membrane has proved very popular with installers over recent years, and has not been altered in the latest version of the product.
Steve Skeldon, Product Manager, Above Ground at Wavin, said: “We’re always looking at how we can improve our offering for customers. The original HepVO proved a real hit, but by redesigning the product we now have a more modern-looking waterless trap, that also has great durability with a fantastic 15-year guarantee.
“Installers get can get the job done quickly and easily, providing end-users with a system that won’t let them down. Our original HepvO was as a first for the plumbing and drainage industry, and with more than 30 years of experience, we’re proud to be continually improving our offering for customers with world-leading products.”
