Tens of thousands of installers and professionals are now fitting the revolutionary and pioneering range of hotun dry trap tundishes, enabling the installers, to run a system temperature and/or pressure relief discharge pipe to an internal waste or soil pipe compliantly in a one-product solution, saving the installer many headaches, time and money.

We call this “The hotun revolution”

The original and pioneering hotun dry trap tundish was invented by Russell Armstrong back in 2013, and has fast become the industry’s go-to option for a relief valve discharge to an internal drain or soil pipe!

And now with the introduction of the hotun detect range of in-tundish alarm units, you can be specifying a water and energy saving product that can also earn you (the installer) more profit, whilst giving your customers a detection system that will stop their appliances from wasting water needlessly.

Make sure you specify the only dry trap tundish that can be upgraded to have an alarm system fitted.

hotun 100 range

The original and ONLY dry-trap tundish on the market provides TWO vital advantages

Compliant at point of installation
Easy visibility at point of diagnosis

Key product features

Award-winning, visible/conspicuous & safe means of relief valve discharge from a sealed system boiler or unvented cylinder to an internal foul drain

Specifically designed to be Water and Building Regulations compliant, to allow either drips or high volume flow from the relief valve through the tundish without allowing foul odours or gasses back into the building
hotun is WRAS approved – air break to drain
Allows for easy identification of historical relief valve operation via its open-sided construction, residual water forms a small puddle on the top of the valve, making for a unique, industry-leading, easy, and effective diagnosis of discharged relief valve water
A cost-effective and simple solution
Quick and easy to fit
Easy maintenance and diagnosis from inside the building near the appliance, potentially saving the installer the risk of working at height either at time of installation or at point of diagnosis.
Accepted for use by many of the UK’s largest boiler manufactures
The hotun range is a tried and trusted product and is currently installed in well over a hundred thousand applications
Rated at 120 Deg C
For additional safety, we provide a separate finger guard (hotun shield) to prevent access to potentially scalding water for boiler applications, whilst still allowing easy visibility of discharged PRV water.

Here is what they have to say:

Worcester Bosch Group

“hotun is a good solution to the issue of terminating PRV discharge pipes from a sealed heating system into a waste water system providing that the waste pipes are of a standard to accept the expected temperatures and pressures of the discharging water”
Martyn Bridges, Technical Director
(WB technical website)

Vaillant

The hotun addresses the issue of removing outflow from a sealed system pressure relief valve into an internal waste or soil pipe, preventing foul odours back into the building when connected to discharge pipes specified as suitable for the temperatures and pressures involved in the system
Martin Butcher, Technologies Specification Manager

(Vaillant website)

Ariston

hotun provides a great option if you are not able to terminate your PRV discharge pipe to a safe location outside… The hotun has been used many times with our Small Electric Water Heater products including the Europrisma and most recently our Andris Lux models
Antonio Plana, Product Manager – Water Heating
(Ariston website)

Ideal

The hotun hiflo is acceptable for use with ideal condensing boilers, it offers a useful solution to the issue of combining a sealed system boiler pressure relief discharge and condensate pipe into a single termination point to a buildings waste water system. Please note that the waste pipes need to be of a standard to accept the potential pressures and or temperatures involved with a sealed system under discharge scenarios
