Stop Wipes And Non-Flushables From Clogging Pipes with

The Traptex® Plumbing Protection System

Change bad flushing behaviour

Flushing wipes, washcloths, cloths, paper towels, underpads, diapers and more in toilets and hoppers can lead to serious problems for facility plumbing systems or further down the waste stream in municipal water treatment facilities. Traptex® Plumbing Protection System helps change flushing behaviour with innovative devices, education, and monitoring to prevent non-flushable items from entering the pipes. This results in fewer maintenance calls for clogs, equipment failures and plumbing disasters.

Sage Innovation helps hospitals tackle a big problem

Traptex was developed to address this problem at the source. Each Traptex Guard features small, laser-cut hooks to catch cloths and wipes before they pass into the pipe, while allowing solid waste and toilet paper through. When wipes are caught, they can be safely removed with a Traptex Wipe Retriever by staff or housekeeping, allowing them to correct the problem and reinforce good behaviour without a call to Plumbing or Maintenance.

Restores confidence in the use of cloth-based technology

Professional nursing guidelines support the use of cloth-based products as part of a prevention protocol. Don’t let potential plumbing issues keep you from using them as part of your risk reduction strategy.

Custom solution – professional installation

A professional Traptex Installation Technician will provide on-site measuring and installation of each custom-made Traptex Guard. Next, our free No Wipes in the Pipes educational program will increase awareness and remind staff, patients and visitors not to flush non-flushable items. Finally, our CustomerOne™ Team will assist you in tracking your savings from avoided plumbing clogs and compare it to your investment in Traptex to provide ROI reports.

If cloths or wipes are trapped, they can be safely removed with our Wipe Retriever for proper disposal. This enables staff and housekeeping to address captured items without a costly plumbing or maintenance call. The Wipe Retriever provides the opportunity to remove cloths and wipes and correct the problem to reinforce a change in flushing behaviour.
