Problem: Dental offices have many water-using devices in the sterilization center. Most of these devices require a drain and space is at a premium in the base cabinet. Plumbers simply don’t have enough space or connection points to the drainpipes to handle all the varied connection requirements. A plumber working in a Midwestern dental office faced that issue.
Solution: The contractor specified and installed QAI-certified DrainDock Multi-Port Drain Adapters from Vista Water Group to solve these connection problems. Where air gaps are not required, DrainDock accepts up to eight inputs from devices like instrument washers, ultrasonic cleaners, reverse osmosis and deionization systems and autoclave wastewater lines. About the size of a grapefruit, it is available in eight, four and two-hole models and can be used in commercial kitchens, offices, bars and residential settings under sinks or on top of standpipes for handling drain lines from washing machines, water filters, softeners, R/O systems and condensate lines.
Result: Now there is a product for organizing drainlines and connections in base cabinets at the dental office. If there are unused ports, just add a 1/2-inch NPT plug to any open port. If a new piece of equipment requiring a drain is added later, just remove a plug, add the appropriate fitting, and make the connection in just minutes. 419-565-5702; www.vistawatergroup.com
