Send by E-mail
Add to Wish ListThe FlowPro FP400 Macerator for WC and Bathroom - Side Outlet is a type of macerator pump that is used in plumbing systems, specifically designed for waste management in bathrooms, particularly with toilets and other bathroom fixtures.
Here's a breakdown of its features and functionality:
Purpose:
- Macerators are devices that grind and pump waste, making it easier to transport wastewater and solids through smaller pipes to the main sewage system. They are often used in locations where it's not feasible or cost-effective to install traditional gravity-based plumbing systems.
Key Features:
-
Side Outlet Design: The side outlet configuration refers to how the macerator is designed to connect to the plumbing system. This could be useful for installations where the outlet needs to be positioned horizontally, for example, in certain bathroom layouts where a straight discharge pipe is required.
-
Waste Handling: The macerator grinds down human waste (from a toilet) and other waste like toilet paper into a slurry, which is then pumped through a smaller diameter pipe to the main sewage system or drainage system. This is particularly helpful for bathrooms located below the main drain or in basements, where traditional plumbing would be difficult.
-
Compact Design: The FP400 model is compact, allowing for easy installation in tight spaces without requiring significant alterations to the existing plumbing setup.
-
Durability: These macerators are built to handle regular use, offering reliability and longevity in residential or commercial settings.
-
Noise Reduction: Some macerators are designed to reduce noise during operation, ensuring that the system doesn't disturb the occupants of the home.
Applications:
- Toilets: Commonly used to handle waste from toilets that might be located far from the main sewage line or in locations where gravity drainage is not possible.
- Other Bathroom Fixtures: It can also be used for hand basins, showers, or bidets, providing a solution to pump wastewater in spaces where conventional plumbing wouldn't be feasible.
How it Works:
- Waste enters the macerator unit from the toilet or other bathroom fixtures.
- The macerator's internal blades grind the waste into a fine slurry.
- The slurry is then pumped through a smaller diameter pipe, which can easily navigate around obstacles like walls or tight spaces.
- The waste is directed to the main sewer or a septic system.
If you're considering installing this macerator, it's important to ensure that your plumbing system is compatible with the side outlet design and that the unit can handle the volume of waste your bathroom generates.
