Te tip-pooling puzzle OVERVIEW:
Floor troughs are a fundamental component of commercial kitchen infrastructure, yet their design has remained largely unchanged despite increasing demands for sanitation, safety, and operational performance. In many kitchens, trough systems present challenges, such as inconsistent cleaning, unreliable trap priming, and exposure to high-temperature wastewater, which can impact code compliance and long-term system performance.

Plumbing Codes require water waste above 140° to be tempered before entering the waste line to prevent waste line deterioration. As kitchens have combi ovens, tilt skillets, and tilt kettles, the need for tempering devices has never been higher. Auto-Tempering Technology includes a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) device inside the trough that monitors the wastewater temperature before entering the waste line. When the RTD measures above 140°, tempering water is instantly delivered through a pressurized rinse head. Once the temperature is back to a safe level the rinse head will shut off, optimizing water usage, protecting the waste line and maintaining code compliance.
Applying Revit to design
ast bite: Jeff Pi
- Integrated into a centralized kitchen-control system for a coordinated, all-in-one approach. - Optimizes water usage by coordinating priming, maintenance, and water tempering functions. - Designed to support code compliance with health, plumbing, building codes, and the Retail Food Code, while improving performance.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
STREIVOR.COM AUTO-WASH TECHNOLOGY:
Retail Food Codes require the floor troughs be cleaned at the end of every daily shift to prevent harborage of vermin, pathogens, and the accumulation of dirt and debris. Trough our research we became aware of inconsistency in maintenance in commercial kitchens. Auto-Wash Technology solves this issue by releasing water combined with detergent and sanitizer through a rinse head, creating a pressurized wash throughout the interior of the trough. Auto-Wash Technology can be set on a daily schedule to set it and forget it. Along with this innovation we redesigned structural features that provide consistent maintenance opportunities, such as: removing the interior flat ledges, including a 5° pitch, grate removal keyholes along with their own tool, and

a removable scrap basket that is removed from above the grate, allowing for ease and consistent maintenance, while maintaining code compliance.
AUTO-PRIME TECHNOLOGY:
Plumbing Codes require all traps be equipped with a priming system to prevent sewer fumes, gases, and vermin from entering the kitchen. Due to poor or non-existent liquid-seal trap priming we discovered many kitchens have been experiencing these issues. With Auto- Prime Technology, water is delivered to the trough through a rinse head spraying only the volume of water necessary to prime the trap. If the system detects that Auto-Wash or Auto-Tempering has been activated, then Auto Prime won’t be activated, thereby reducing the amount of times the trap is primed, effectively capitalizing on water usage, preventing foul odors and vermin, and always maintaining code compliance with a primed trap.
DEMAND KITCHEN CONTROL INTEGRATION:
Smart Trough Technology integrates with Streivor’s Demand Kitchen Control System, creating a unified, all-in-one approach to kitchen infrastructure. Te system monitors and coordinates ventilation hoods, demand control ventilation, fire suppression systems, and building management communication, while also supporting Smart Trough functionality – all within a single coordinated control.
