About RECTORSEAL

RectorSeal is a manufacturer of specialty chemicals, plumbing tools, and mechanical products for the HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance sectors. The company, headquartered in Houston, Texas, has been in operation since 1937 and is known for its focus on sealing, cleaning, and maintenance solutions. 3G Electric supplies a range of RectorSeal products, including trap seals for floor drains, descaling chemicals, flush kits, and tub drain extraction tools. These products are designed for use in commercial and industrial facilities where maintaining drainage system integrity, preventing sewer gas ingress, and removing scale deposits from water heaters and boilers are routine requirements.

RectorSeal trap seals, such as the models 97044, 97043, 97041, and 97042, are mechanical seals that fit into floor drain openings to block odors and pests while allowing water to pass. They are available in diameters from 2 1/8 in to 4 3/8 in and overall widths from 1 3/4 in to 16 1/4 in, with heights of 1 1/4 in or 1 1/2 in. Materials include EPDM rubber and HDPE, with slip-type connections for easy installation without tools. These seals are suitable for drains in plant floors, kitchens, and wash-down areas where a positive seal is needed to comply with sanitation codes.

The descaling chemical (MPN 68708) is a liquid formulation that removes calcium, lime, and other scale deposits from water heaters, boilers, and heat exchangers. It is typically used with the pump and descaling kit (MPN 68711), which includes a 115V AC pump, hoses, and fittings for circulating the chemical through the system. This kit allows maintenance personnel to perform in-place descaling without disassembling equipment, reducing downtime. The tub drain extraction tool (MPN 97258) is a brass and steel tool for removing 1 1/2 in pipe diameter drain assemblies, with a 4 in overall length and a 3/8 in drive size, useful for plumbing repairs in commercial restrooms and industrial wash stations.

3G Electric stocks these RectorSeal items with multiple SKUs to support plant engineers and maintenance managers who need reliable, off-the-shelf solutions for drainage and water heater maintenance. The products are selected for their compatibility with standard industrial plumbing systems and their ability to meet code requirements for odor control and scale management. No special certifications or awards are claimed for RectorSeal beyond its long-standing presence in the industry; the focus is on providing functional, specification-driven products that address common maintenance tasks.

Common Applications

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.
