The Hidden Hero of Your Surgery

Every time a patient rinses, the Durr Spittoon Bowl Valve (Durr24-7560-570-54) springs into action. Designed specifically for A-dec 500/461/561 chairs, this unassuming device solves two critical challenges: efficient waste removal and regulatory compliance—all while simplifying your clinic’s infrastructure.

How It Works: Smarter Waste Management

1. Auto-Detection
   A built-in float rises when water enters the spittoon, triggering suction activation—no manual switches needed.
2. Unified Waste Capture
   Merges output from the spittoon and HVE/SCU cannulas into a single line, directing everything through your amalgam separator.
3. Dry Operation
   Unlike traditional valves, it requires no direct drainage pipe—ideal for clinics without floor drains.

4 Reasons Dentists Love This Valve

1. Compliance Made Easy
   Routes ALL bowl waste through amalgam traps, meeting strict ISO 11143 mercury-capture standards.
2. Clinic Flexibility
   • Retrofit-ready for existing A-dec systems
   • Space-saving design eliminates plumbing headaches
   • Dry suction support for mobile/older practices
3. Cost-Saving Durability
   Field-replaceable components like the float (7560981000) and PCB (7560711050) minimize downtime.
4. Seamless Integration
   Works with A-dec’s programmable rinse timers and Durr CAS1 separators out of the box.

Pro Tip for Multi-Chair Practices

“Pair with Durr’s selection valve to prevent suction loss when multiple chairs operate simultaneously.”

The Verdict

This valve isn’t just plumbing—it’s smart environmental insurance. By automating waste capture and ensuring compliance, it lets you focus on patients, not paperwork. For A-dec users, it’s the simplest way to future-proof your practice against evolving regulations.
