4 Main Components of a Solvent Trap

A solvent trap is a device designed for and used in the cleaning and maintenance of a firearm. The solvent trap attaches to the end of the firearm’s barrel. It works by effectively “trapping” the cleaning solvent, thereby protecting the user from chemical exposure and providing safe and proper disposal of the used solvent.

Armory Den = HELL YEA! 🙂 Finally a company who doesn't rip people off. I searched forever for a trap kit that matches industry design and option. Ran into tons of scam sites until now. I bought the 304 Steel Adaptive Trap (10" inch) and that was on a Friday. That same night or the next day they already had USPS label from Florida and it shipped out that same day! Armory Den is the best site out of all the knock off scams or just plain fraudulent sites claiming to sell traps. Everything from their shipping to the transparency of sells via Stripe payment, keeps reputation in the front seat. Thank you whoever runs Armory Den. You are doing so many people favors. Your prices are cheapest along with design and materials offered. Its China that makes knock offs and Armory Den DONT PRODUCE OR SELL THAT GARBAGE. (P.S. stay away from Solvent Traps Direct).

Amazing! Absolutely thrilled with the level of customer service. Anytime I had a question they respond very quickly and always answer my questions completely. I love their packaging. While it may be somewhat difficult to get to their products through all the packaging, I really appreciate that they take the time to properly wrap their products. I feel like this attention to detail would protect my order if the delivery person were to leave it where it could get rained on or left in the weather. The packaging is amazing, and I will continue to return as a customer.

Outstanding on all fronts Great company! I am 110% satisfied with my experience. The ordering process was easy and secure. The package arrived 3 days early by USPS. The product was extremely well-packaged: outer bubble envelope, inner bubble wrap, a box, and the individual pieces were separated and secured within holes in foam material. The trap itself is very well constructed as advertised. I’m glad I paid the extra $$ for a high quality product rather than risk with a random internet company just out for sales. Also customer service responds within hours and is extremely responsive—they have actual humans interacting with you! Will use again. Thx!

Solid from website to my hand, top shelf As I shopped for the product, I kept returning to the Den website. Descriptions are clear, lots of good information, very good value. Ordering is simple, terms are straightforward. I had special shipping instructions, followed perfectly. Secure packaging. The trap is well machined, fits tight, and is nicely finished. The hand-feel has heft and is of quality. Extra care at every step. Thanks.

They did the right thing! Let me just start with Thank you Armory Den! What exceptional customer service! Their response time to emails, is faster response time then the police department has where I live for 911 calls lol j/k. Seriously, they answered me on Sunday, morning and afternoon. No company does that! Also, I asked about a part I thought came with my order. I was ready to pay for it, nope, they sent them to me for free, and shipped on a Sunday! No one does that! I’m a customer for life! I even canceled an order I had with another company, just so I can buy from ARMORY DEN! My business motto is “always do the right thing l, no matter what” they obviously follow it also!

This company is the real deal I was a little skeptical about ordering honestly. I hadn't heard much about armory den and could only find good reviews lol. But I took a chance and put through an order. Everything arrived as described and is awesome. Be aware that you may receive multiple shipments based on what you order. These guys respond fast and from what i have seen, produce quality products. They have my future business. I've put up similar reviews and given a recommendation on their FB page.

Details on Solvent Trap Parts

Solvent traps are typically made up of several components, each of which is essential to its functionality.

SOLVENT TRAP DEN

Dry Storage Cups

Solvent trap cups or dry storage cups are multi-purpose accessories for solvent traps, and can be used for both cleaning and dry storage. They may be used to catch debris and filter the solvent inside the solvent trap. The user may use several storage cups for filtering and separating the solvent, or use the one cup method to catch solvent and debris above the end cap for easy disposal. When cleaning is finished, the solvent trap can then be removed from the barrel, and the used solvent can be transferred to another container to be either recycled or properly disposed of. Solvent trap storage cups are typically made of either stainless steel.

Beyond just cleaning, however, solvent trap cups can serve some other purposes as well. For example, dry storage cups are an accessory that may also be used with solvent traps that divide the interior space for emergency storing of essential items. Post cleaning or during transport, dry storage cups can then be placed back inside solvent trap until ready for use, unless using for dry storage.

Tube

The solvent trap tube is attached to the threaded muzzle of the firearm using the thread protector. This tube is basically a barrel plug that is intended solely for catching and trapping cleaning solvent or dry storage depending on preference. While the tube does attach to the firearm with a thread protector.

Most cleaning solvents contain chemicals that can be harmful if allowed to come into contact with human skin. The tube of the solvent trap includes an end cap that is designed to catch this material and “trap” it inside, preventing potential harm to the user during the cleaning process and to trap debris more efficiently.

End Caps

End caps are used to seal the end of the solvent trap tube. They serve the purpose of seal the end of the solvent trap to ensure the capturing of all of the liquids and other debris that may be dislodged during cleaning. Solvent trap end caps are typically made from premium materials, such as titanium, stainless steel and aluminum. All of Armory Den’s aluminum end caps are made of 7075 Aircraft Grade Aluminum to reduce wear and tear on threads. They also come in various external shapes, including hexagonal, which can make it easier to screw them on and off.

Armory Den is America’s #1 supplier of high-grade solvent trap parts and kits. Routine cleaning and maintenance help reduce risk and improve your firearm’s safety, reliability, and overall performance. To view our entire inventory of premium quality solvent trap products, click here.

Thread Protectors

Thread protectors screw onto the muzzle end of the solvent trap and are equipped with a barrel thread of various thread pitches depending on the type of firearm they are being used to clean – i.e. 1 / 2 x 28″ being used for 9mm, .22LR, 5.56 NATO caliber firearms and 5/8×28″ being used to clean larger .30 Cal Firearms. Armory Den’s thread protectors are identical in build and material of the end cap of the respective solvent trap they are installed on, so if the solvent trap kit has a 7075 aluminum end cap, it will have an identically constructed thread protector, with the only difference being the additional inner threading for the specific firearm(s) barrel they are intended to clean.

These are the several fundamental elements of a solvent trap kit. Additional parts that may also be purchased include streamlined cleaning products, such as thread conversion adapters to clean various firearms with the same solvent trap and more…

It’s important to note that, as with any consumer product, solvent traps are meant to be used solely as intended, whether that be cleaning, transport, or storage. Solvent traps are not, however, NFA items and are legal to purchase and own, provided they are not altered, modified, or redesigned without going through the proper legal channels.
