HepVO
Waterless self-sealing waste valve
AS/NZS 3500 Compliant
Where you need to prevent foul sewer gases from entering a building, HepVO can be used as an alternative to conventional water traps. As it doesn’t rely on trapped water to create a seal, HepVO can't fail due to evaporation, movement or siphonage.
HepVO Benefits
Waterless trap means no siphoning or smells

FAQs
-
HepVO is a self-sealing, waterless waste valve that prevents foul sewer air from entering living spaces. It replaces traditional p-traps and retains its seal even when fixtures are unused for long periods.
-
HepVO uses a flexible elastomeric membrane that opens under water pressure and closes immediately after discharge, maintaining an airtight seal under normal conditions.
-
HepVO is suitable for basins, baths, showers, sinks, bidets, urinals, HVAC condensate drains, recreational vehicles, and unvented hot water systems.
-
Yes. HepVO can be installed either vertically or horizontally using appropriate adaptors, which makes it ideal for tight spaces or space-saving installs under sinks and baths.
-
Yes. HepVO is certified to ATS 5200-047:2005 and holds a WaterMark Licence (WMKT20062) for use in Australia.
-
Yes. Because it doesn’t rely on a water seal, HepVO remains effective even if a fixture isn’t used for long periods or in hot conditions where water in conventional traps would evaporate.
-
Yes. HepVO actively allows air into the system under negative pressure and reseals automatically, eliminating the need for secondary venting or branch air admittance valves.
