  • Suitable for use in households, school, workplace or community toilets
  • Shuts out unpleasant view into dark pit and human waste

Key features
  • Pan with locking tabs and QC provision with mounting holes on the flange for slab fitment.
  • Unique self-closing ‘trap door’ is designed to create an air-tight seal that closes off pit latrines from the open air which minimizes odours.
  • The trap door reduces the transmission of preventable diseases from insects that come into contact with human waste
  • The cup that creates a counterweight action is filled with cement during installation
  • Optimal counterweight action lets waste and flush water pass through, but otherwise stays closed
