Traptex® Plumbing Protection for Toilets

Stop Wipes and Non-Flushables from Clogging Pipes

Flushing of inappropriate items is a widespread problem in all facilities, resulting in clogs, burst pipes, flooding, and a drain on resources and revenue. Wipes, napkins, rags, paper towels, diapers, feminine products, and more have been flushed down toilets. Just because it leaves the toilet bowl, doesn’t mean it’s flushable. These products don’t disperse in water like toilet paper does. Instead, they accumulate over time in pipes and sewers causing catastrophic problems in the plumbing system or further down the waste stream in municipal water treatment facilities.

The Traptex^® Plumbing Protection System helps prevent non-flushable items from entering the pipes. This results in fewer maintenance calls for clogs, equipment failures, and plumbing disasters.  The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) estimates "flushable" wipes cost public water utilities over $441 million a year". This expense gets passed onto taxpayers, businesses, and anyone who pay for sewer and water! This doesn't even count all the calls made to the plumber.

How does the Traptex^® Toilet Guard work?  

• Each custom-sized, stainless steel Traptex^® Toilet Guard features small, laser-cut hooks to catch cloths, wipes, and other non-flushable objects before they enter the pipes.   The hooks catch these objects, which then remain in the toilet bowl. 
• The wipes and objects that remain in the toilet bowl can be retrieved and discarded with the Traptex® Wipe Retriever.  Click here to purchase.
• The laser-cut hooks cut through toilet paper and solid waste, so they can easily pass through.  Note, this product is intended for commercial toilets.  Residential toilets may not have the high flushing capacity needed. 
• With Traptex®, the staff can address and prevent a toilet clog without a costly plumbing or maintenance call.
• A sign is provided to increase awareness of the device, which prevents many instances of "bad flushing behavior". 
• Traptex® helps prevent non-flushables from entering pipes, helping your business avoid disaster and change bad flushing behavior!  If Traptex® prevents one call to the plumber, it can pay for itself!
