Product Description

The dental plaster trap is designed to arrest waste product such as waterborne clay, plaster and heavier than water particles in order to prevent blockage of downstream drainage pipes.

The dental plaster trap is designed to fit in areas where there are space limitations. Ensure tank will fit in space provided and be compatible with overall plumbing design.

It is important to allow sufficient room above the dental plaster trap to allow removal of the screw-in access cover and for trap cleaning.

• Connect tank Outlet to waster in accordance with plumbing regulations (note: Sample nipple is to face down)
• Fit a stop valve to the Drain Nipple at the bottom of tank (valve not supplied)
• Fit a stop valve to the Sample Nipple located on tank outlet pip tail (valve not supplied)

Cleaning Guidelines

The dental plaster trap should be maintained regularly to ensure trouble-free service. Cleaning of the trap should be performed by a competent person.

Collected waste product, formed as sludge on the floor of the trap, should be removed and disposed of by whatever means is allowed in the area. Floating particles are trapped by the internal mesh basket. The waste product would not normally be regarded as hazardous and may be suitable for disposal in a gernal waste collection bin. However, the waste product and liquid contained in the tank is the product of whatever has been fed into the tank and it is recommended this point be considered before accessing the tank at all.

To remove the trap for cleaning, disconnect pipe connections such as barrel unions or rubber sleeve connectors.

• Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, safety glasses, breathing mask, etc.)
• Unscrew removable Access Cover.
• Open drain valve to allow liquid waste to empty (into bucket for correct disposal).
• Carefully remove the internal mesh basket and empty contents.
• Remove waste sludge from the tank, if necessary, use a small scoop to assist.
• Wash the interior tank walls.
• Replace access cover and ensure drain valve is closed.
