Sioux Chief 096 Chrome Trap Primer Tailpiece, 6" Long Branch, Slip-Joint Connection

The Sioux Chief 096 trap primer tailpiece is a 6" long branch tailpiece with a slip-joint (SJ) connection and a chrome finish, built to divert gray water from a lavatory drain down to a floor drain trap. This rough-in plumbing accessory features a 1/2" nominal branch connection that taps into the lavatory drain line, directing a small amount of waste water to replenish the water seal in a nearby floor drain trap. By keeping that trap primed, it helps prevent dry traps from allowing sewer gases to escape into occupied space. It's an eco-friendly way to maintain trap seals without a dedicated potable-water primer valve, since it reuses gray water that would otherwise go straight to the drain. The tailpiece is manufactured by Sioux Chief and packaged 25 per case for distribution to plumbing contractors and wholesalers.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1/2" nominal branch connection for tying into a standard lavatory drain line.
  • Long Branch Design: 6" long branch tailpiece provides the reach needed to route gray water to the floor drain trap.
  • Slip-Joint (SJ) Connection: Slip-joint connection simplifies installation and service at the tailpiece joint.
  • Finish: Chrome finish for a clean appearance at any exposed connection point.
  • Gray Water Trap Priming: Uses gray water from the lavatory drain to replenish water in floor drain traps, helping prevent the escape of sewer gases.
  • Eco-Friendly Operation: Reuses lavatory gray water instead of relying on a separate fresh-water primer supply.

Sioux Chief 206-096 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Sioux Chief 206-096 tailpiece keep a floor drain trap from drying out?
The 206-096 is a lavatory tailpiece with a 6 inch long branch off the side. Waste water running out of the lavatory bowl is diverted through that branch and piped to a nearby floor drain, where it tops off the trap seal. No potable water connection and no primer valve are involved, so the seal gets maintained with gray water that was headed down the drain anyway. Keeping the seal full is what stops sewer gas from coming up through a floor drain that only gets used occasionally.
2) Should I use a gray water tailpiece primer or a dedicated potable water trap primer valve?
A tailpiece primer like the Sioux Chief 096 only works when the lavatory above it actually gets used, because the water feeding the trap is the lavatory's own waste water. That makes it a good fit for a restroom lavatory next to a floor drain in regular service. If the floor drain sits in a utility or mechanical room with no fixture draining nearby, or the fixture gets used rarely, a potable water primer valve fed from a pressurized line is the better choice. The tradeoff is that the tailpiece needs no water supply connection at all.
3) Does this tailpiece need to be soldered or glued in, or does it use a slip joint?
It is a slip-joint (SJ) tailpiece, so it goes together with a nut and washer at the joint the same way a standard lavatory tailpiece does. That means no solvent weld and no solder at the tailpiece connection, and it can be taken apart later for service without cutting anything.
4) Will the 6 inch branch give me enough reach to get to the floor drain?
The 6 inch dimension is the length of the branch coming off the tailpiece, not the distance to the drain. It gets you out past the lavatory trap and into the wall or chase; from there you continue with 1/2 inch pipe to the floor drain trap. So plan on running primer line beyond the tailpiece rather than expecting the branch itself to span the gap.
5) Is the Sioux Chief 096 tailpiece chrome all the way through or just plated?
Chrome-plated, with a chrome finish that holds up visually at an exposed connection under a lavatory. If the tailpiece is going to be seen below a wall-hung or pedestal lav, the plated finish matches standard chrome P-traps and supplies.
6) How is the Sioux Chief 206-096 packaged for contractors buying in quantity?
It ships 25 each per case. For a multi-restroom job or a stocking wholesaler that is the unit to plan around, rather than buying singles.
