Grease Interceptors
These are the standards in SynC Standards that cover Grease Interceptors. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide, with the standards each is verified against. All of it is written and maintained by SynC, free to read without an account, and published under CC BY 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Standards
- Grease Interceptors
Grease interceptors that pretreat the fats, oils, and grease carried by the drainage from commercial kitchens, cafeterias, commissaries, bakeries, and other food-service operations before that drainage reaches the sanitary building drain: hydromechanical grease interceptors rated under PDI G101 and ASME A112.14.3, automatic grease removal devices under ASME A112.14.4, and gravity grease interceptors of precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene. Covers the interceptor types furnished, the sizing method and the inputs it needs, the flow control fitting and air intake, body and tank materials, structural loading and anti-flotation of buried tanks, inlet and outlet fittings, access risers and covers, venting, the effluent sampling point, which fixtures and appliances connect to the interceptor, the grease waste pipe material and slope between those fixtures and the interceptor, setting and testing, and the pump-out program the Owner carries after acceptance.
