8000Universal Grease Interceptors

This universal interceptor is used in kitchens, restaurants, institutions, and all types of food processing areas where waste water contains Fats, OIls, and Greases (F.O.G.s). F.O.Gs will solidify and build up in pipes and lead to blockages, backups, pipe bursts, and overflows. This interceptor is designed to collect over 90 percent of the grease that flows into it. This interceptor may be set on floor, semi-recessed in floor or fully recessed with cover flush with finished floor. Its "Uni-lock" cover design permits fast cover removal for periodic cleaning.

How Grease Interceptors Work


"The advantage of an interceptor is its proven track record and long-established acceptance by the plumbing industry."

– *PM Engineer Magazine

Learn about the importance of a grease trap or interceptor and how one works to keep plumbing functioning properly.

A grease trap (or grease interceptor) is a plumbing device (a type of trap) designed to intercept most greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system. These units reduce the amount of fats, oils, and greases (FOGs) that enter sewers.
