Grease Trap Parts & Interactive Diagram

Use this interactive illustration to prepare for a model-specific parts lookup. Grease interceptors vary widely. A label shown here does not prove that your unit has the same component, layout, service point, or replacement part.

Safety and identification first: do not open, enter, lean over, or service an interceptor based on this illustration. Covers, gases, falls, engulfment, traffic, and confined spaces can create deadly hazards. Use the exact manufacturer and model documents plus qualified local help.

Then compare the information with the equipment nameplate, approved drawing, and current manufacturer manual.

Before ordering a part or authorizing service

  1. Photograph the full nameplate without opening or entering the unit.
  2. Record the manufacturer, exact model, serial number, and installed options.
  3. Find the current manual, approved drawing, and parts list for that exact model.
  4. Confirm local plumbing, wastewater, permit, access, and inspection requirements.
  5. Ask the manufacturer or qualified service professional to confirm compatibility in writing.

Do not use a generic web price, lifespan, pipe size, service interval, or fullness percentage as a substitute for those documents. Local maintenance triggers vary, and manufacturer instructions are model-specific.

Frequently asked questions

Does every grease interceptor have these parts?

No. The labels are possible features, not a universal bill of materials.

Can this diagram identify a replacement part?

Does a 25% cleaning rule apply everywhere?

No. Some local programs use a 25% condition, while others use different measurements or schedules. Check the authority serving the facility.

Can staff open or repair the unit using this guide?
