Our Technical Support section features a list of common causes for leaks (even though leaks are quite rare, they do happen occasionally and almost all are caused by solve-able installation issues).
The Gleco Trap, marketed and distributed by Liquid Assets, Inc., is an innovative, inexpensive solution to messy, hard-to-use sink traps. The Gleco Trap provides you with an economical plumbing trap that is easily installed and maintained. The Gleco Trap is connected below the sink and collects solids in a bottle. When the solids reach the fill line on the bottle, the excess water in trap is drained through a valve, the bottle is exchanged with a replacement bottle, the valve shut and the trap is back in service. Bottle exchange is rapid and done without the need of tools (less than 2 minutes!). Most of all, there is no mess and minimal chance of water spillage.
NEW! The Gleco Trap HV (shown left) is a high volume trap solution. It requires more plumbing expertise to install and maintain than our standard Gleco Trap, but it's a great option in high volume settings with a good maintenance staff.
We sell The Gleco Trap to individuals, plumbers, and plumbing supply businesses. We strongly encourage individuals and plumbers to first check their local plumbing supplier - many already carry The Gleco Trap and we're adding more suppliers every day.

Most household and
commercial sinks are equipped with U-shaped plumbing traps,
commonly known as p-traps. Located beneath sinks in kitchens and
bathrooms, the devices trap water to prevent gases from entering
the residential and commercial buildings. For sinks servicing
medical and optical offices, labs, ceramic
studios and similar applications involving a concentration of
solids, or loss of valuables down the drain, The Gleco Trap has
proven to be very successful, selling nearly 20,000 in the first 6 short years it was produced, and that figure has grown exponentially since 2006. To be economical and efficient, the
maintenance on the plumbing trap must be easily and quickly
performed. Current state-of-the-art equipment, however, did not
offer a solution. John Gleason had been employed in the plumbing
business for 16 years and serviced many complicated, hard-to-use
sink traps. After hundreds of hours of research and dedication, he
was issued U.S. Patent # 6,049,922 on April 18, 2000, entitled
"Solid Sediment Retainment Plumbing Trap," more commonly known as
The Gleco Trap. The Gleco Trap is the ONLY UPC approved sink trap
manufactured today. Liquid Assets, Inc., markets and
distributes The Gleco Trap under license from John Gleason to
individuals, plumbers, and plumbing supply businesses.
