Slop hopper or sluice sink
This Slop hopper, also referred to as slop or sluice sinks (the newer term), are used to empty and fill pails as well as rinsing out mops. These units can be mostly found in hospitals, clinics, industrial or commercial laundry or cleaning rooms.

Plumbing fittings are not included as they are proprietary to the installation method specifications and the plumbing in the building. Please consult your plumber to connect the correct plumbing fittings. Note the flush valve is optional and are quoted separately. You may use your own flush valves. We recommend the following two types of flushing systems.
A slop hopper with stainless steel p-trap is also available and must be ordered with product code SS-SH-SSPT. Note the p-trap extends ±80mm behind the back of the top into the wall.
Slop hopper with flush valve specifications:
- Walcro W-B-106 – 38 mm water supply flush valve or
- Walcro W-B-104 with isolating valve, 38 mm water supply flush valve flush pipe connected to CP on brass adapter (Plumbing fittings not included in units).
Make sure when using a flush valve that the municipal water supply does not exceed 6 bar during the night. If it is suspected that the water supply is higher than 6 bar a pressure reducing valve must be installed. Any dirt can also adversely affect the long term operation of flush valves. Please install an inline strainer such as W-STR-20 or WC-STR-25 to prevent dirt particles damaging the mechanism rendering the slop hopper unusable.

Recommended tap or trigger spray
Although wall mounted bib taps are installed with slop hoppers it is recommended to install a wall mounted trigger spray. This makes it easy for users to clean out bedpans or buckets without spilling or holding the bedpans in position. The whole system just becomes more hygienic and efficient.
