  • MaterialHAWA
  • Weight0.2
  • Meets ASSE 1072 and ICC-ES PMG standards for code compliance
  • Fits 3-1/2 in. pipe and drain sizes for direct slip connection

  • Durable plastic, rubber and silicone construction resists corrosion and wear
  • Compact 1-1/4 in. height allows installation in shallow floor drains

Purpose and fit

The RECTORSEAL 97043 is a 3-1/2 in. trap seal designed for floor-drain applications in commercial and institutional plumbing systems. It fits 3-1/2 in. pipe and drain sizes with a slip connection and meets ASSE 1072 and ICC-ES PMG standards. The device is not suited for drains that require a ligature-resistant fitting.

Thermals noise power

As a passive plumbing component the trap seal generates no heat, noise or electrical draw during normal operation. Its round body measures 3 3/4 in. overall diameter, 11 1/4 in. length and 16 1/4 in. width with a height of 1 1/4 in. The plastic, rubber and silicone construction resists corrosion and chemical exposure in drain environments.

Upgrade context

This seal replaces deteriorated or missing trap primers in existing floor drains where trap-seal loss allows sewer gas to enter occupied spaces. The jump is worthwhile when code compliance requires a listed device and the drain diameter matches the 3-1/2 in. slip fit. It does not address installations needing a larger or smaller pipe connection.

Questions about this item

How is the 3-1/2 in. Trap Seal installed, and what step do people often miss?

The seal uses a slip connection that pushes into a 3-1/2 in. floor drain. The step often missed is confirming the drain interior is clean and free of debris so the rubber and silicone gasket seats evenly around the full 11 1/4 in. length.

What maintenance or replacement will the RECTORSEAL 97043 need over time?

The plastic, rubber and silicone construction resists corrosion, but the flexible sealing surfaces should be inspected periodically for cracking or loss of elasticity. Replace the unit if the trap seal no longer holds water or passes the ASSE 1072 performance test.

What limit appears first when the trap seal sees continuous flow?

Under sustained discharge the 1 1/4 in. overall height and 3 3/4 in. diameter restrict the flow path, so hydraulic capacity is the first limit reached before the ligature-resistant design or ICC-ES PMG listing becomes a factor.
