PURPOSE
For over a hundred years, grease interceptors have been used in plumbing wastewater systems to permit free flow of drainage from sinks
and similar equipment. They have played an important role in preventing grease accumulations from clogging waste pipes and sewer lines.
They also help to improve operations at wastewater treatment facilities and prevent environmental problems caused by grease.
Zurn engineers were part of the original team that developed the current Plumbing and Drainage Institute Standard PDI-G101, which was first
issued in 1949. PDI-G101 is now cited in numerous codes, as well as in Military Specification MIL-T-18361. Most Zurn grease interceptors
comply with PDI-G101 and carry the PDI label.

Specific Gravity (Weight) of the Filtrates
Grease has a lower specific gravity than water and will rise to the

Placement of the interceptor in a high traffic area is an important
concern. If the interceptor is to be installed flush with the floor, it is
necessary to determine whether or not the interceptor will experience
heavy-duty load traffic. The standard grease interceptor is designed
for foot and light traffic only. If a greater load rating is required, the
interceptor must be constructed accordingly to accept the higher load.

VENTING
Grease interceptors must have a vented waste, sized in accordance
with code requirements for venting traps, to retain a water seal and
to prevent siphoning.
MULTIPLE FIXTURE INSTALLATION
One interceptor to serve multiple fixtures is recommended only where
Z1108-L Installation fixtures are located close together. In such installations, each fixture
should be individually trapped and back-vented.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Z1165 100 PPM GREASE INTERCEPTOR

As effluent requirements become more stringent and code regulations
become more and more enforced, Zurn realizes the need for a grease
interceptor that can perform well beyond the average capabilities of
a traditional style interceptor. The Z1165 100 PPM Grease Interceptor
was designed to operate in the same time-proven manner as typical
passive grease interceptors, while incorporating valuable patent pend-
ing features. Grease interceptor effluent efficiency meets 100 Parts
Per Million when tested to EPA 1664 test method. Results based on
the influent requirements in accordance with the maximum rated
capacity given by Plumbing and Drainage Institute Standard PDI-G101.

Patent Pending

Z1170 GREASE INTERCEPTOR

The Zurn Z1170 Grease Interceptor is the most widely used of all Zurn
interceptor models. Its versatility allows the unit to be installed in
several different fashions, accommodating the majority of standard
kitchen installations. Standard to the unit is an acid resistant epoxy
coating to help protect from corrosion and help maintain a sanitary
kitchen environment. The interceptor’s diamond tread, anti-skid cover
helps minimize slipping accidents when high-traffic kitchen floors
become wet. There are numerous options available with this unit
to help suit the needs of virtually any application.

Z1171 LOW PROFILE GREASE INTERCEPTOR

It is often common for area restrictions to dictate where plumbing
fixtures may be located within a commercial kitchen. Due to limited
space, it may not be practical to utilize a traditional style grease
interceptor to service the fixtures. For applications such as this,
Zurn has designed and constructed the Z1171 Low Profile Grease
Interceptor. Grease separation is properly achieved, while the unit’s
low-profile design allows for on-the-floor placement underneath a
sink, saving space for other important kitchen equipment. Standard
to this unit is a low inlet and outlet height to accommodate for ease
of drainage pipe installation. Care should be taken when locating this
unit to allow sufficient space for cover and baffle removal during the
maintenance process.

Z1171-TD and Z1173-TD Grease Interceptor With Top Draw-off

To assist in the maintenance and cleaning process of grease inter-
ceptors, Zurn has developed a unit incorporating a top draw-off port
for grease removal. The cover’s unique accumulating cone captures
the liquid grease and funnels it toward the draw-off port, allowing
for limited removal of the interceptor cover.
To remove grease from the unit, the following steps should be taken
for quick, easy maintenance:
1. Run a steady flow of hot water through the unit to ensure that
the grease is completely liquefied.
2. With the hot water supply shut off, turn the in-line closure valve
to a fully-closed position.

Z1172 Large Capacity Grease Interceptor

The Zurn Z1172 Large Capacity Grease Interceptor is designed to
handle much larger amounts of flow than the smaller kitchen units.
Because of its size, this type of interceptor is not traditionally placed
in the kitchen environment. These units are normally located in a
basement or outside of the building, in an above-ground or in-ground
installation. The unit’s design, incorporating a dual-compartment
separation chamber, allows for a large volume of grease to be collected,
protecting the sewer lines from potential grease build-up.

Z1173 Ejecto-Matic Greaseptor

To simplify the cleaning process and prevent grease from clogging
drainage lines, Zurn has developed the Z1173 Ejecto-Matic Greaseptor.
This unique unit is provided with a skimming tray which retains the
accumulation of grease. Cleaning simply becomes a matter of
discharging hot water through the Greaseptor. The resultant heat
liquifies the grease, which is then ejected through the nozzle at the
turn of the handle. The ejected grease may be collected in a bucket
or other container for easy disposal. Any water that may enter the tray
is directed back into the intercepting chamber by means of a water
discharge port incorporated into the design of the skimming tray.

Z1174 Grease Eating Bacteria Dosing Unit

To keep the grease interceptor operating in optimum
condition, it is recommended that the Z1174 auto-
matic bacteria dosing unit be used on a regular
basis. The dosing unit delivers to the interceptor an
engineered microbial blend that degrades grease,
fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. The added bacteria
does not transfer the grease downstream; however,
it degrades and digests the grease inside of the unit.
This environmentally friendly formulation reduces
the production of foul odors that can emit from
inside the interceptor and drain lines. The Z1174
liquid bacteria contains no harmful caustic elements
and won’t damage the interceptor or drain piping.
It is specifically engineered to degrade only the
agents for which it was developed. As a result, this
bacteria concentrate gives full protection to inter-
ceptors and related waste piping systems.

Z1192 Grease Recovery Appliance

Zurn has designed and developed the Z1192 Series,
a low maintenance electronic appliance which
recovers grease from commercial piping systems.
The Z1192 is provided with a solids interceptor,
incorporating removable filter bags for less time-
consuming removal of solids. Automatic features,
such as grease sensing and grease draw-off,
allow the unit to operate continuously, with less
cleaning required by the user than other typical
grease interceptors. Liquid grease is drawn out of
the main separating chamber into a containment
bag, which can be easily removed and replaced
with another for quick, clean disposal. When
properly installed, the Z1192 Grease Recovery Patent Pending
Appliance greatly reduces maintenance, while
yielding a high efficient effluent rating.

2 To determine the run time of the pump, use the chart above to
determine the amount of Z1174 to be dispensed based on your
interceptor capacity. If the interceptor has not been cleaned prior
to the Z1174, the system may need to be shocked with a larger
dose of Z1174 for the first month of operation. After this time, the
recommended volume may be used. Specific installations may 0

require more or less Z1174 – this chart is only a guideline. After 10
the first month of use the amount of Z1174 may be reduced.

3 To set the desired run time (dial setting): On the circuit board
there is a small dial marked “0” to “100.” These numbers do not
represent time. This can be adjusted by turning the dial with a
small screwdriver clockwise to increase time and counterclockwise
to decrease time. Check pump run time with a watch to ensure
proper dosage.
