Trap Seal Primer setup

[Jeff8242]

Hello, Can you take a look at my proposed set-up for a trap seal primer instalation and let me know what you think.

Thank you!

Yup...pretty straight forward.
Install in cold water line and mount at least 12" above the trap, typically.
Did it not come with brief instructions?
Any questions on your mind?

Thank you for your reply!

No document came with the part and nothing comes up in a google search. It's the Watts MS-810 Trap Seal Primer.

My trap is under the floor, so no problem getting the 12".

Do you mean anything specifically when you say "mount"? I was assuming the water lines would hold it in place.

I only meant position it.
But thinking about the fact that you are likely using PEX tubing, I would only say make sure it's relatively stable, straight and won't move.

Thank you. Should the shut-off valve go before the primer or after?

It MUST be level or it will leak

next time. buy a PPP instead of that leaking PITA Thing

Always provide a valve before and a union so it can be changed out or maintained
