If you’re researching grease traps, you may get them confused with “interceptors” which perform a very similar function. In fact, the two terms are often used interchangeably. But there is a difference. They’re both designed to trap the fats, oils, and greases in your plumbing system — but the main distinction between grease traps and interceptors is the rate at which they can process wastewater. Interceptors can handle a higher volume in gallons, so if you’re running a large-scale operation, you may need an interceptor. If you’re setting up a new kitchen or replacing your system, consult our experts at Maintain It to figure out which one is right for your building.
