This one fits under the sink and holds a fortnight of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHot dishwater carries fat as a liquid. Somewhere down the pipe it cools, sets and narrows the drain until one day nothing gets through. A grease trap gives that fat somewhere to cool and float before it reaches the pipe. Water comes in the side, slows down through a triple-path filtration design, the grease rises to the top and the solids drop into the sludge basket, and the clean water leaves through the outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one is 1.2 millimetre stainless and is rated for about 18 kilograms of grease before it needs emptying. The lid has a rubber ring and buckle locks on both sides, the outlet is threaded, and there is a faucet for draining it down before a clean. It arrives assembled, has a handle on top, and weighs 11.35 kilograms empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple-path filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38 litres a minute through-flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo moving parts, no power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuckle-locked lid with rubber ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSludge basket for solids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaucet for draining before clean-outs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48 mm inlet and threaded outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600 × 400 mm footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVevor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e390 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.35 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrease capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 kg, approx.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlow rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 L per minute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInlet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 mm, side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutlet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 mm, threaded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless 1.2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFiltration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-path\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSolids\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSludge basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrain\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaucet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDo I need one?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the kitchen prepares food commercially and drains to the sewer, almost certainly. Water authorities in every state require grease to be intercepted before it enters their pipes and can fine premises that block a main. Check with your council and water authority for the size they want; many accept an under-sink unit for a small cafe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow often does it need emptying?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the grease layer builds up; a common rule is about a quarter of the depth. How fast that happens depends on the kitchen, so check it weekly at first and set a day for it. A trap that is not emptied stops trapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrain some water off through the faucet, unlatch the lid, lift out the sludge basket, scoop the grease into a sealed container for the bin or a waste contractor, rinse the inside with hot water, refill and latch it shut. Wear gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes it smell?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot while the lid is sealed and it is emptied on time. The rubber ring and buckle locks keep it closed; a smell means it is overdue for a clean-out or the seal is sitting on grit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan fryer oil go through it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Used fryer oil goes in the oil caddy and off to a recycler, never down a sink. The trap is for the fat that comes off plates, pans and dishwater, not for disposing of oil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OV Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Side inlet","offer_id":49045358280936,"sku":"OVS-GT-18-side-inlet","price":389.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/3136\/4840\/files\/grease-trap-18kg-under-sink-stainless-w1.jpg?v=1789038383","url":"https:\/\/shop.ovsupplies.com.au\/products\/grease-trap-18kg-under-sink-stainless","provider":"OVSupplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
