2023 AHR Expo, Atlanta, February 6, 2023 – Wavin, a global water technology providing safe, healthy, and secure water, is launching a clever solution to solving vexing waste valve issues for HVAC and drinking water installations.
Wavin HepVO is a self-sealing waste valve that uses a soft silicone rubber membrane to create the seal instead of water, eliminating foul odors in HVAC drain waste vent lines and the health risks of stagnant water in plumbing systems.
Wavin HepVO is an ideal alternative to conventional P - traps for tight spaces and infrequent-use installations such as vacation homes, condominiums, cabins, guest bathrooms, and bar sinks as well as in motor homes, tiny houses, recreational vehicles, boats, yachts, and concession trailers. Wavin HepVO is used in North America in RVs and boats and is now approved for residential use in the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code.
It’s available in 1¼” and 1½” dimensions and can be installed either vertically or horizontally with an angle adaptor. For sinks with low, intermittent, or seasonal use, Wavin HepVO is a highly effective alternative to a conventional P - trap. The Wavin HepVO system includes compatible in-line adaptors and angle adapters. When used with the BOW ABS DWV Foam Core pipe, the system allows air to enter the plumbing drainage system when negative pressures develop in the piping system.
