New waterless trap offers seamless installation
Leading plumbing and drainage manufacturer Wavin has launched a new version of its popular HepVO waterless trap, which aims to make installation as straightforward as possible. With an updated design, that still features the industry-leading, high-performance sanitary seal, the latest HepVO trap is easier and simpler to install than any of its predecessors.
The smoothed lines and updated sleek design of HepVO now offers even more flexibility for plumbers during installation, while the addition of directional flow arrows on the underside of the fitting makes it easier to align for installers when operating horizontally.
The original HepVO was a practical and hygienic solution to traditional traps, which are known to lose their water seal due to evaporation, siphonage, leaking or movement. The HepVO waterless trap solves this problem with a self-sealing, elastomeric membrane which performs exactly the same function as a water-filled trap, but without the potential drawbacks. This innovative membrane has proved very popular with installers over recent years, and has not been altered in the latest version of the product.
Now with a 15-year guarantee, the new HepVO is an incredibly durable and reliable solution. Wavin has also made the conscious decision to move away from single use plastic packaging to a more sustainable cardboard solution, part of a company-wide effort to minimise its impact on the environment.
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.”
