Grease Trap Sizing Guidelines

This document provides information for sizing a grease trap for a project. It lists various fixtures that drain into the grease trap and their associated drainage fixture unit values. Based on the type of food preparation (light or heavy fats/oils/grease production), a table is used to determine the required grease trap size based on the total drainage fixture units. For this project, the fats/oils/grease production is classified as light, and with 12 total drainage fixture units, the required grease trap size is 750 gallons.

the FOG Loading criteria. The retention time calculations are derived from the 2009 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) Fixture Unit Values in Table 7-3
and Gravity Grease Interceptor Sizing in Table 10-3.
