Stop Wipes & Non-Flushables from Clogging Pipes
Flushing of inappropriate items is a widespread problem in all facilities, resulting in clogs, burst pipes, flooding, and a drain on resources and revenue. Wipes, napkins, rags, paper towels, feminine products, diapers, and more have been flushed down toilets. Just because it leaves the toilet bowl, doesn’t mean it’s flushable. These products don’t disperse in water like toilet paper does. Instead, they accumulate over time in pipes and sewers causing catastrophic problems in the plumbing system or further down the waste stream in municipal water treatment facilities. The Traptex® Plumbing Protection System helps prevent non-flushable items from entering the pipes. This results in fewer maintenance calls for clogs, equipment failures, and plumbing disasters. The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) estimates "flushable" wipes cost public water utilities over $441 million a year". This expense gets passed onto taxpayers, businesses, and anyone who pay for sewer and water! This doesn't even count all the calls made to the plumber.

How does the Traptex® Toilet Guard work?
- Each custom-sized, stainless steel Traptex® Toilet Guard features small, laser-cut hooks to catch cloths, wipes, and other non-flushable objects before they enter the pipes. The hooks catch these objects, which then remain in the toilet bowl.
- The wipes and objects that remain in the toilet bowl can be retrieved and discarded with the Traptex® Wipe Retriever. Click here to view and purchase.
- The laser-cut hooks cut through toilet paper and solid waste, so they can easily pass through. Note, this product is intended for commercial toilets. Residential toilets may not have the high flushing capacity needed.
- With Traptex®, the staff can address and prevent a toilet clog without a costly plumbing or maintenance call.
- A sign is provided to increase awareness of the device, which prevents many instances of "bad flushing behavior".
- Traptex® helps prevent non-flushables from entering pipes, helping your business avoid disaster and change bad flushing behavior! If Traptex® prevents one call to the plumber, it can pay for itself!

Traptex® Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can Traptex® be removed if needed? Yes. Traptex® can be removed for inspection or replacement without damaging the plumbing system using the Installation Tool sold separately (click here)
Is Traptex® suitable for residential toilets? Traptex® is primarily designed for commercial and institutional applications, where the risk of foreign objects is much higher. If using on a residential / low pressure toilet, here is a helpful guide to increase water flow: How to Increase Water Flow in a Toilet
Does Traptex® work with all types of toilets? Traptex® is designed primarily for commercial, pressure-assisted toilets, which generate a higher-energy flush that helps move waste through the protective barrier effectively. These toilets are commonly found in restaurants, schools, stadiums, hospitals, and other commercial facilities. Traptex® is not recommended for most residential gravity-flow toilets, which rely on lower flushing force and may not provide consistent performance with this type of drain protection device.
What happens if something gets caught in Traptex®? The object is captured before entering the drain line, making removal far easier and preventing deeper blockages that require expensive service calls. Use our Traptex Retriever Tool to pull the objects out of the toilet and discard into the trash.
How does Traptex® save money? By preventing clogs before they happen, Traptex® helps reduce:
- Emergency plumbing calls
- After-hours service fees
- Water damage cleanup
- Business interruptions
One prevented clog can pay for the device many times over.
