Abstract
A self-contained trap primer valve assembly is housed in a cabinet and includes a conduit for connection to a building's water main to carry water under pressure, a valve is operatively mounted in the conduit and a solenoid is operable for selectively opening and closing the valve, wherein a low voltage battery and a timer mechanism connected to the battery and preset for selectively actuating the solenoid, opens and closes the valve for preselected durations.
