    Q:Will this stop sewer smell coming up from the drain?
    by|Dec 10, 2022
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  No. The device sits in a naturally open position so it leaves the drain open and therefor does not stop odours. Pouring water down a trap drain will prevent smells from coming up.

        Amazing easy installation
        By following the easy directions and using a power screwdriver this product installed very quickly. I expected more work. I wondered how it would attach securely to the pipe and it did it with expanding seal rings. Wow! Thank you Sentinel for such a well-thought-out product.

          Great idea, but didn’t work for me!
          Had to return product. Didn’t work for my application. The 4 inch drain pipe was cut on an angle when the builder installed it and there was too much concrete between the top of the pipe in the floor so the seals would not engage the pipe.

          WOW!
          This is a really great invention. It was super easy to install and solved my issue of sewage coming back up my drain. I have laid my drain pipes on it and secured them so it's the perfect solution.

            This product was made for a new drain.
            If your floor drain is older like mine, you will have to scrape, grind, sand, and clean your bore/pipe to get it like new before this device will ever go into it. It was a major pain to install.
