Why Use a Commercial Grease Trap?

Commercial kitchens can produce fats, oils and grease during everyday food preparation and washing.

A grease trap works by separating fats, oils and grease from wastewater before it enters the drainage system. This helps reduce grease build-up inside pipes and lowers the risk of blockages, unpleasant odours and drainage problems.

Ideal for Smaller Commercial Kitchens

This compact grease trap is designed for smaller commercial kitchens and catering operations serving approximately 10–15 covers.

It provides a 16 litre-per-minute flow rate and can collect up to 5kg of grease and oil before emptying is required.

Measuring just 380 x 275 x 230mm, it is particularly suitable for cafés, coffee shops and smaller kitchens where space underneath the sink or pot-wash area may be limited.

Installation

The grease trap is designed to be installed close to the sink or pot-wash area within a commercial kitchen.

Its compact dimensions allow it to fit underneath or close to many commercial sink installations, subject to the available space.

The unit features 40mm inlet and outlet connections and can be incorporated into both new and existing plumbing systems.

It can also be installed further along the drainage run where required.

Optional 40mm PVC Couplings

40mm PVC couplings are available as an optional extra and can be used to connect the grease trap's inlet and outlet to compatible 40mm waste pipework.

These can help provide a straightforward and secure connection between the stainless steel grease trap and the kitchen's waste system.

Please note: PVC couplings are not supplied as standard with the grease trap and should be added separately if required for your installation.

Easy to Clean & Maintain

Once installed, the grease trap requires straightforward routine maintenance and does not require chemicals to operate.

Collected grease and oil can be removed using the included outlet valve, after which the inside of the unit can be wiped and cleaned.

We recommend incorporating inspection and emptying of the grease trap into your regular kitchen cleaning schedule. The required cleaning frequency will depend on kitchen usage and the amount of fats, oils and grease being produced.

Commercial Kitchen Drainage Requirements

Effective grease management is an important consideration when designing and operating commercial kitchen drainage systems.

Approved Document H of the Building Regulations – Drainage and Waste Disposal states in relation to commercial hot food premises:

“Drainage serving kitchens in commercial hot food premises should be fitted with a grease separator complying with BS EN 1825-1:2004 and designed in accordance with BS EN 1825-2:2002 or other effective means of grease removal.”

Businesses should ensure that their grease management arrangements are appropriate for their premises and comply with applicable Building Regulations, water company requirements and local drainage requirements.
