Sioux Chief 695-01 Trap Primer Valve, Brass-Plated

Sioux Chief 695-01 Trap Primer Valve, Brass-Plated

The Sioux Chief 695-01 Trap Primer Valve is a brass-plated valve built to regulate water flow into trap primer lines, keeping floor drain and floor sink trap seals charged so they resist evaporation between uses. Its plated brass body is sized for rough-in installation ahead of floor drains and floor sinks on a cold water supply branch, and the valve is intended to be located where it stays accessible for future inspection, adjustment, or replacement rather than sealed permanently behind a wall or under a slab.

Key Features

• Brass-Plated Construction: A durable plated brass body gives this trap primer valve a corrosion-resistant, rugged construction suited for continuous rough-in plumbing service.
• Trap Primer Valve Function: Meters a small, metered charge of water into a connected trap primer distribution line each time the upstream fixture supply is used, replenishing the water seal in remote floor drain and floor sink traps.
• Accessible-Location Installation: Per Sioux Chief installation instructions, this valve is intended for use in accessible locations only, so the contractor can reach it for service, testing, or adjustment after the wall or ceiling is closed in.
• No Thread Sealant Compound: Manufacturer instructions specifically call out that thread sealant compound should not be applied to this valve's connections during installation, helping protect the internal metering mechanism.
• Trade Rough-In Component: Designed as a behind-the-wall supply component rather than a finish fixture, this valve is intended for plumbers and contractors installing or servicing trap primer distribution systems.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds this trap primer valve with a plated brass body intended to give plumbing contractors a durable, serviceable component for maintaining trap seals on floor drains and floor sinks that see infrequent use. Because the valve is meant for accessible-location installation and should be connected without thread sealant compound, following Sioux Chief's stated installation guidance helps protect the metering mechanism and keep the trap primer system performing as designed. For contractors standardizing on a single trap primer valve across floor drain rough-ins, the 695-01 offers a straightforward, code-relevant approach to keeping remote trap seals charged.
