Ecotrap®


Ecotrap®

ecotrap-diagram.gifOur patented EcoTrap® relies on the proven and simple vertical trap principle.

1. Urine flows down into the EcoTrap® drain insert.

2. In the EcoTrap® the urine passes through a floating layer of BlueSeal® liquid, which forms a barrier that prevents sewer vapors from escaping to the restroom atmosphere.

3. Urine under the barrier layer overflows into the central tube and runs down to the conventional drain line.

4. The layer of approx. 3 ounces of BlueSeal® will last for about 1500 sanitary uses. The liquid is then simply replenished. Task time: 20 seconds. Trap does not need to be touched.

5. The EcoTrap® retains urine sediments and is easily replaced 2-4 times a year according to traffic to the fixture. A special tool, the X-Traptor®, is used to remove the EcoTrap®. This deters vandalism. Task time: 3-4 minutes.

Please see our simple maintenance instructions here.

6. Drain lines are free of hard encrustations. They are easily accessed by removing the EcoTrap® with the special X-Traptor® tool.

The patented vertical EcoTrap® design provides superior efficiencies to other, more complicated trap arrangements. It does not need to be cleaned out as it is simply changed out. It also helps retain urine sediments. Urinals without trap inserts may clog the urinal’s internal trapway.

Silicone grease

Silicone grease is a waterproof grease made by combining a silicone oil with a thickener. Most commonly, the silicone oil is polydimethylsiloxane and the thickener is amorphous fumed silica. Using this formulation, silicone grease is a translucent white viscous paste, with exact properties dependent on the type and proportion of the components.

Silicone grease is commonly used for lubricating and preserving rubber parts, such as O-rings. Additionally, silicone grease does not swell or soften the rubber, which can be a problem with hydrocarbon based greases. It functions well as a corrosion-inhibitor and lubricant for purposes that require a thicker lubricant, such as the operating mechanism of the M1 Garand rifle.

Thermal grease often consists of a silicone grease base, along with added thermally conductive fillers. It is used for heat transfer abilities, rather than friction reduction.

Silicone grease is also used widely by the plumbing industry in faucets and seals, as well as dental equipment. Electrical utilities use silicone grease to lube separable elbows on lines which must endure high temperatures. Silicone greases generally have a temperature range of -40 to 400 °C.

Models: PKX201H


For those applications that require moving water over extended distances or heights, Subaru offers a high-pressure pump. The high-pressure pump is designed to enable the transfer of lower volumes of water over a greater distance. A large diameter impeller with shallow vanes allows the pump to attain higher pressures and greater discharge heights. Featuring integrated Subaru OHC engine technology, the high-pressure pump boasts reliable performance time after time.





Ideal Power for:
The high pressure capabilities make it an ideal option for applications such as sprinklers, moving water up hill, handling fast seepage or light firefighting while waiting for emergency crews to arrive.
