Introduction
Speciality Plumbing Supplies Pty Ltd (“SPS”) is a family-owned business (established
1978) that specialises in the design, manufacture and distribution of its own range of
commercial and industrial roof and floor drain systems. We have worked extremely hard
over 30 years to earn an enviable reputation for quality, service, expertise, value for
money and reliability of supply. SPS products have been used extensively on major
projects all around Australia but especially along the eastern seaboard, and particularly
within the greater Sydney area.
SPS offers a large range of basket trap floor wastes for commercial and industrial trade
waste applications.
B.
Quality Control
SPS has attained quality management certification under ISO 9001:2008 – please see
Appendix 4 for details. The main basket trap assemblies and optional grates have been
certified under ATS5200:040 – please see appendix 5 for details.
SPS basket trap floor wastes are pre-assembled and pre-fitted to ensure proper fit and
functionality. Grate assemblies and baskets are designed so that the basket sits snugly in
the neck of the grate and does not permit any liquid to bypass the basket. Each
component is manufactured in accordance with the relevant Australian standard.
SPS basket traps have been approved by Sydney Water since 2001 (approval number
2001-269).
SPS basket traps have gained a very high level of support from specifiers, plumbing
merchants and contractors Australia-wide.
C.
Applicability
SPS basket trap floor wastes are designed to intercept and contain debris, such as food
particles, garbage scraps, rubbish etc. in industrial and commercial applications such as
restaurants, food processing factories, food preparation areas, garbage rooms, bars etc.
They are the first stage of the trade waste pre-treatment system and normally operate
upstream from other devices (such as grease traps) to help ensure that trade waste output
meets minimum discharge standards.
The essential feature of a basket trap floor waste is its
strainer system
. The strainer
system is comprised of 2 components:
1.
A strainer basket (removable); and
2.
A secondary strainer (fixed).
SPS manufactures 5 different types of strainer systems as per the following table:
