My Camplite was built using one for the shower. It eliminates the vertical space required for a P-trap thereby allowing for a lower shower floor. So far, 6 years, no problem and I've not heard of anyone else having a problem. You still need the roof vent. ]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2020 08:48:54 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13944&PID=135675#135675 HepvO instead of P traps? : From what I was reading, it would... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13944&PID=135674#135674 Author: StephenH

From what I was reading, it would not eliminate the through the roof vent. Those exist to vent the fumes when water goes into the tank. Otherwise, the tank would build up pressure and prevent water flow into it. It would eliminate a vent that is common behind sinks that pulls air into the tank if there is a negative pressure situation in the tank. I've read about those sticking and allowing fumes into the RV.]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2020 08:09:16 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13944&PID=135674#135674 HepvO instead of P traps? : interesting alternative, thanks... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13944&PID=135673#135673 Author: offgrid

interesting alternative, thanks for sharing. If you needed to snake the lines looks like you remove the device first. 

If you use them can you eliminate the gray water system through the roof vent? From what I read sounds like yes. Then also get a composting toilet with a through the wall vent. Clean roof!

From what I have seen about them, they should never need to be snaked or plunged. ]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2020 21:16:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13944&PID=135672#135672 HepvO instead of P traps? : Current rig has them throuout..... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13944&PID=135668#135668 Author: furpod

Has anyone had any experience with HepvO waterless traps? They look like they would be a good way to eliminate any possibility of tank fumes coming up through a dry shower or sink trap. They also look like they would save some space.
