Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RECTORSEAL from 3G Electric.
What materials are RectorSeal trap seals made of, and how do they affect performance?
RectorSeal trap seals are available in EPDM rubber and HDPE plastic. EPDM offers flexibility and resistance to ozone, UV, and a wide temperature range, making it suitable for outdoor or high-temperature drain applications. HDPE provides rigidity and chemical resistance, ideal for industrial drains where exposure to mild acids or solvents may occur. Both materials are slip-fit and require no adhesive, allowing quick installation in standard floor drain openings.
How does the RectorSeal descaling chemical (MPN 68708) work, and is it safe for all water heater types?
The RectorSeal descaling chemical is a liquid formulation that dissolves calcium carbonate and other mineral scale deposits through a chemical reaction. It is designed for use in tank-type water heaters, boilers, and heat exchangers. The chemical should be circulated through the system using a pump kit (such as MPN 68711) and then flushed with water. It is not recommended for use with aluminum components or systems with incompatible seals; always verify material compatibility with the manufacturer's guidelines before use.
Can RectorSeal trap seals be used in outdoor floor drains exposed to rain and debris?
Yes, RectorSeal trap seals are suitable for outdoor floor drains, provided the drain opening is clean and the seal is properly seated. The EPDM models offer weather resistance, while HDPE models resist impact and UV degradation. However, the seals are designed to block odors and pests, not to withstand heavy debris loads. For drains subject to sediment or solid waste, a strainer or grate should be installed above the seal to prevent clogging.
What is the operating voltage of the RectorSeal pump and descaling kit (MPN 68711), and what accessories are included?
The RectorSeal pump and descaling kit operates at 115V AC. The kit includes a pump, hoses, and fittings necessary to circulate the descaling chemical through a water heater or boiler. It does not include the descaling chemical itself, which is sold separately (MPN 68708). The pump is designed for intermittent use during maintenance procedures and should not be run dry.
How do I select the correct RectorSeal trap seal size for my floor drain?
To select the correct RectorSeal trap seal, measure the inside diameter of the drain opening and the overall width of the drain flange. The trap seal models are available in diameters from 2 1/8 in to 4 3/8 in and widths from 1 3/4 in to 16 1/4 in. The seal should fit snugly into the drain without forcing. For drains with non-standard dimensions, consult the product specifications or contact 3G Electric for guidance.
