Sure Seal 97044 Drain Trap, Inline Floor Drain Trap Seal, Plumbing, 4"

This is the only one that would work in my basement floor drain, as my drain curved right away. All other's were to long and would hit the curve . This fit perfect, the rubber sealed the drain tight, no more smell in my basement.

Fits perfectly into my four inch drain pipe according to included instructions. I think it’s expensive for what it is, but thrilled to have it.

This was super easy to install and immediately blocked he smells that were coming through the floor drain. I also spilt some water down it slowly to make sure it drained.

I had an older model of this trap seal that worked well for two years. Then the flaps lost contact and started letting gas through. I emailed Rectorseal asking about repairing or replacing the flaps. They got back to me immediately (at 10PM) and offered to send me a replacement. This is expensive for a neoprene flap, but it works. And the redesign looks more durable than the one I eventually had trouble with. More importantly Rectorseal stood by their product, no questions asked.

2015: The drain seal was installed in about 15 minutes (which included cleaning of the drain pipe at the top to ensure a complete seal. The smell was gone as soon as the seal was installed. We have had no issues with the seal and it has been 2 months. 2024 update: This product lasted over 9 years before the sewer gas started leaking through the seal. I am replacing it with the same manufacturer's product. I am a very satisfied customer!

I am very happy with this product. I have a drain in my basement that has a cracked trap so it won't hold water. Someday I'll need to dig it up and replace the trap but I'd rather do it when it's more convenient and after I've done some research. The SureSeal does exactly what it says on the tin. I've found it to be totally effective at preventing the sewer gas from diffusing into my basement.

This was exactly what I needed, but when I went to install it, the bottom part of the flapper just flew off. Luckily it didnt go down the drain. The bottom part is just press fit in 2 places and this is completely unreliable. There are two posts that look like they could have installed screws to keep this in place but there is nothing there. Im not sure if this is supposed to have screws, but from my 2 minutes of dealing with this part, it looks like there should be screws to keep this from falling apart. For a 50 dollar piece of plastic, this is a complete and utter failure. I would not trust this part to not break and fall into your drain. Do not buy this.

Lack of local retailers to pickup/order product of the right size when needed for a job. Need to have specifications: minimum and maximum size openings (ID inside of sized pipe) and water column inches for min-max flow rate.

I bought this mostly to prevent radon gas from coming up the drains as my sensor told me this floor drain was a hotspot. The seal is good and the fit for 4-in strain is perfect. Construction quality is very good. Better than the oatey 3in silicone drain seal I bought. I will update if I remember to comment on whether radon levels drop.

Plumbers often use different/cheaper variants of this and those products fail or clog easily. I’ve swapped out the contractor seals for these twice with great results both times.

This thing saved my home and a lot of renovations.I hooked this up to my basement cleanout so the water under my home can drain when needed. I've had two basement floods and since I"ve installed this the water doesn't have a chance to build up. I do think it's overpriced for what it is but it's a lot cheaper than the 18,000 dollars to install a floor draining system.

I only gave it 4 stars because like others mentioned it expensive for what it is but with that being said it does exactly what it says it does. If it can last for at least 5 years than it's totally worth the money and I'll give it 5 stars on my next order.

The only product approved in the Ontario Building Code for this use. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON PACKAGE FOR PROPER INSTALL. Fantastic design. If your worried about flooding, have someone put in a BACKWATER VALVE on your sewer line. None of these “in floor drain” products will protect against flooding. Trust me, I’m a Plumber.
