 Installation of ZTA-45 grease trap

Figure 1 - Suggested location of grease trap

The grease trap should be installed as close as possible to the fixture(s) (sinks
etc.) being served, as high temperature from the hot water use in washing
enhances grease separation. This also protects the internal piping system from
grease buildup.

The grease trap may be placed on the floor, partially recessed in the floor,
partially recessed in the floor, recessed with top flush with the floor, or fully
recessed below the floor, in order to accommodate piping and structural
conditions. Anticipate sufficient clearance for removal of the grease trap cover
and internal basket strainer for cleaning. Also, take into consideration the
possibility of pipelines becoming clogged with congealed grease that may
collect before reaching the grease trap.
 Figure 2 - No solid particles should enter the grease trap

Grease traps are not designed to perform with solid debris entering the unit.
Solid material should not be permitted to enter the grease trap. In an
application where solids are present, a solids interceptor is recommended to
be used in conjunction with the grease trap. Grease tends to attract solid
particles, growing in size and promoting decay, leading to unpleasant odour
and unsanitary conditions. Under these conditions, pipes can readily become
clogged and even the grease trap itself may fill up with debris.

All sink and garbage grinder waste must pass through a solids interceptor
because rapid accumulation of solid matter will greatly reduce the grease trap
efficiency, preventing operation in compliance with its rated capacity. A
separate grease trap is recommended for each commercial dishwasher.
 Maintenance of ZTA-45 grease trap

Figure 3 - Internal view of grease trap

All grease traps must be cleaned regularly. The frequency of grease removal is
dependent upon the capacity of the grease trap and the quantity of grease in
the wastewater. Grease removal intervals may therefore vary from once a
week to once in several weeks. When the grease removal interval has been
determined for a specific installation, regular cleaning at that interval is
necessary to maintain the rated efficiency of the grease trap. After the
accumulated grease and waste material has been removed, the grease trap
should be throughly checked to make certain the inlet and outlet are clear of
obstructions. Cleaning can easily be performed by following the steps listed
below:

1. Loosen and remove the fastener(s) securing the cover to the grease trap
body.
2. Remove the cover
3. Remove the basket strainer from the body
4. Wipe and clean down the internal of the grease trap using mild
detergent. Dispose of grease in a proper waste container.
5. Rinse the internal tank and basket strainer with clean water supply
6. Ensure that the cover gasket material is intact and in good working
condition. Replace gasket material if it is damaged.
7. Insert the basket strainer back into position and securly refasten the
cover back onto the trap
