Automatic trap primer valve
AUTOMATIC TRAP PRIMER VALVE
695 SERIES
SPECIFICATION
Where replenishment of water in floor drain traps is required; trap primer valves
shall be ½" FIP inlet × ½" MIP outlet, automatic trap primer valves which activate
with a 10 PSIG pressure drop between 30–150 PSIG. Water release shall be
factory set. Trap primer valve shall have large port openings and a non-
corrosive brass finish. Must be UPC/IAPMO listed, and ASSE certified to the
ASSE 1018 standard.
WORKING PRESSURE
30–250 PSIG
OPERATING PRESSURE
Activates with a 10 PSIG pressure drop at 30–150 PSIG
INSTALLATION
Install to a convenient ½"–1½" nominal water line, nearest the trap or traps to be
served. Install in the upright, vertical position only. Install at least 5" (127 mm)
above the grid of the floor drain or the flood rim of the sink or fixture which the trap
serves. Install near plumbing fixtures to insure a full pressure drop of 10 PSI or
more. If the trap primer is installed too far upstream in the system, the pressure
drop may not be enough for activation. To help prevent sediment buildup, install a
vertical loop that rises above the supply line tee. (see figure 1) Flush trap primer
branch line prior to installing the trap primer. Install MIP adapter. Thread on trap
primer. Install FIP union to bottom. Use PTFE tape sealant on both connections.
Do not use pipe dope. Do not solder or braze directly to trap primer or fittings
installed in trap primer. Water discharge is factory set—no adjustment is required
on normal installations. However, for static pressures over 100 PSI, adjustments
may be necessary. First loosen the nipple locknut (10, below), then turn the nipple
(19, below) counter-clockwise until the trap primer starts dripping, turn the nipple
clockwise ¼-turn, and re-tighten nipple locknut.
