Installation and Operation

Prevents Buildup; Removes Clogs


Never use plungers or
harsh chemicals again.
The PermaFLOW's patented design ensures that you won't need to open your drain, call the plumber, use harsh chemicals, get out your plunger, or wrestle with your snake the next time you have a clog--just turn the external knob on the PermaFLOW's integrated, drain-clearing wiper to clear out blockage.

Also great for low-flow faucets, this "no-pain drain" has a unique shape that generates a surge of water that will clean your pipe, providing the extra muscle needed to flush unwanted debris and prevent the buildup that causes slow draining. This will not only save you from headaches, but it will also save water by helping your drain work efficiently at low flow rates.

Additionally, a clever bypass option lets water flow through the PermaFLOW's upper chamber in case of an emergency buildup in your pipe, meaning there's no down time and no waiting for your pipe to be serviced.

Transparent Design Prevents Potential Problems
The PermaFLOW Drain's transparent design eliminates any drain mysteries--just look to determine if the drain has developed buildup and turn the wiper to see if the clog is gone. You can even see items that you may have accidentally dropped down the drain, such as wedding rings or small toys. Turn the wiper to elevate the item and then retrieve it with a coat hanger, hook, or other household tool. Just think--you'll be able to diagnose and troubleshoot drain problems without exposing yourself to nasty sewer gases and messy disassembly!

Simple Installation for Ease of Use
The time-saving PermaFLOW features easy installation, a universal design that fits standard drains, and construction that looks great even under open-pedestal sinks. Retrofitting older, P-trap drains is a cinch with the included adaptors that fit standard 1-1/2-inch (kitchen) and 1-1/4-inch (bath) plumbing. The adaptors are compatible with virtually any pipe material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kitchen or Bath Usage - The PermaFLOW drain can be used in bathroom lavatories and kitchen sinks including the ones with the garbage disposal. It replaces the U- tube in the P-Trap below the sink.

Is PermaFLOW drain approved by Code - Most states and cities have their own plumbing codes and in most instances they are aligned with either the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Residential Code (IRC). Most plumbing products in this category are considered adequate if they are UPC listed. Just like any standard P-trap, the PermaFLOW is UPC listed. PermaFLOW drain is also certified to comply with the IPC and IRC. This is usually what licensed plumbers look for as a first step before installing a product. There are a very few states that have some specific additional requirements. PermaFLOW drain has been purchased by customers in all fifty states.

Can Chemical Drain Cleaners be used with PermaFLOW drain - PermaFLOW drain does not require or recommend the use of drain cleaners. Should someone want to use common drain cleaners available in the market, there are no harmful effects expected on the PermaFLOW drain, however, drain cleaners with Sulfuric Acid may stain the PermaFLOW drain. If regular maintenance is performed, there should be no need for chemicals.

Will the PermaFLOW drain Leak? - PermaFLOW drain has been designed to not leak and has been tested extensively and should not leak. PermaFLOW drain comes with a 10 year limited warranty that includes free replacement.

What is the life of the Wiper inside the PermaFLOW Drain? - The PermaFLOW drain is robustly designed and the wiper has been tested extensively under operating conditions for over 100,000 revolutions which means that if turned couple of times a day, it is expected to last over 100 years and does not need to be replaced. PermaFLOW drain comes with a 10 year limited warranty that includes free product replacement.

How does PermaFLOW handle hairs from clogging? - PermaFLOW's unique construction generates turbulence which minimizes the possibility of hairs settling in the Trap area and therefore there is no accumulation of hairballs unlike the traditional traps. As the hair strands are released into the sink, they flow through the PermaFLOW freely to the main drain pipe through the waste arm (tail pipe).

What do I do if my PermaFLOW drain gets cloudy? - Due to its unique design and materials used, the PermaFLOW does not become black and gunky like the traditional P-Trap. In case of some soap scum build-up on the walls, simply putting two denture cleaning tablets down the sink or lavatory drain and leaving overnight will clean most stains.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant idea, poor implementation, December 27, 2009
By 
Wesha (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PermaFLOW PF-07001 Never-Clog Drain (Tools & Home Improvement)
Good:
1) Really nice looking. LOOKS and FEELS solid too. (But, unfortunately, is not. See below.)
2) The twist-knob REALLY works as advertised and does not leak.
3) Excellent customer service -- the manufacturer is actually READING these discussions and responding to them! Good phone service too.

Bad:
1) Hard to install: both the device and the pipe nuts are made of acrylic. And acrylic tends to be somewhat flexible, and as a result, you cannot quite tighten it right: the threads have an affinity to jump (without breaking, that is) once you near the right tightness.
2) (retracted: problem turned out to not be caused by PermaFlow)
3) Not sure how to describe it, but after a bit of use a crack has developed in the top flange and the whole thing started to leak. :(

Anyway, I have received a replacement and I will be installing it sometime to give it a second try.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good idea - poor engineering - NOT FOR KITCHENS, December 21, 2009
By 
Michael Baker (Falls Church, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PermaFLOW PF-07001 Never-Clog Drain (Tools & Home Improvement)
Tried to install under Kitchen sink. Unit uses "slip" connectors to seal but the acrylic material is too flexible to totally seal. Unlike the White PVC most kitchen sink plumbing is made with, the clear acrylic doesn't allow the nut to tighten down enough to provide a good seal. No matter how I tried to connect, it leaked where the pie exited from the unit.
The diameter of the unit also isn't large enough for kitchen drains, it increases the pressure as it narrows and that also contributes to the leaks.
The unit also doesn't appear to have the same radius as standard "U" sumps which hinders the ease of installation.
All in All a great disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars great idea, easy five minute install, never clog!!!, January 11, 2010
This review is from: PermaFLOW PF-07001 Never-Clog Drain (Tools & Home Improvement)
got this as a gift as requested. it took all of five minutes to install it. that includes getting a bucket to remove the existing p-trap. unscrew everything (no tools even needed)...take out old p-trap, put this one in...screwed everything back on.

turned on the water...watch it flow through...watch water fill in air to create sewer seal (as is intent of p-trap)...but, can see what is sitting in there if. If it ever gets clogged...turn the wheel...done!

for those that would rather replace a trap ($2-$4) everytime it gets clogged...or buy expensive chemicals or buy tools to snake in there...then, that's your choice. for me $20 to get this, install it, and always see what's trapped and easy to remove clogs...no question, easy piezy lemon squeezy!!!

Uploading photo so that you see what it looks like installed. again, everything fit perfectly and easily for me.

BUY IT, INSTALL IT, Never CLOG!
