Floor Drain Procedures

This procedure should be followed quarterly or semi-annually depending on conditions. Last completed: 5/2/23; 9/19/2024

  1. 1

    O/A - Mechanical Room Basement Floor Drains

    Use the flower watering can located in the custodial closet. The new red watering can holds more water than the green one.
    Use a plastic bucket for the floor drains becuse they take more water.
    The floor drains have a flapper valve to slow the evaporation of the water in the trap.

    Locations:
    Men’s room, ladies room, mechanical room under the chiller compressor, and next to the boiler. 

  2. 2

    O/A - Basemen Custodial Closet, Vacuum Breaker

    Use the plastic watering can stored on the shelf next to the door in the custodial closet.

    Fill Air Handler drain through the white funnel adapter on the white pipe just above the P trap. If the water level is about an inch from the small white pipe, it is full. If it is all the way down, low in the trap, it will be leaking air and hence smell.
  3. 3

    O/A - Club Room, Vacuum Breakers

    Fill with 1/2 can of water through the slotted adapter above the P traps by opening both closet doors in both closets. The west closet must have the inactive door opened by releasing the inside slide bolt at the top of the door. Be sure to relock the slide bolt on the west closet inactive door.
