Quick Start Guide
Before you begin, be sure to review this document in full for important information regarding
the installation process. Also, ensure that the interceptor purchased is correctly specied and
sized for the intended installation. Be sure to reference and be familiar with local code and
municipal FOG Program requirements. The Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) can be your
best friend and your worst enemy.
1. Prepare your
installation area
If installing in-oor or below grade excavate as required
to accommodate the interceptor and ensure safe
working practices. Refer to Installation Specication
section of this document (See Page 8-10).
3. Select preferred outlet connection
Connect your inuent drain to the tank inlet (“IN”). Select the preferred outlet
connection from the pre-plumbed connection ports oered – marked “OUT”.
Side connection is accessed by removal of the caps supplied, that cap then being
used to seal the end outlet.
2a. In ground/oor
Remove all packaging, including the skid. Conrm ow direction,
lower in and level interceptor accounting for anticipated surface
nish requirements.
Note: For installations where high ground water is anticipated,
once located pour at least 8” of concrete on top of your prepared
base, to ll an area around the perimeter of the tank. This will prevent
otation. For alternative methods of anchoring (See Page 8-10).
2b. On oor/oor below
Remove all packaging including the skid. Locate the interceptor so as to allow for accessibility
when conducting maintenance and regular cleaning. Set the interceptor on a rm, level
surface ensuring tank is equally supported.
When full the weight of the tank is signicant (XL75 Approx. 1300lbs [590kg]),
XL100 Approx. 2150lbs [975kg])
For suspended application engineering service by a qualied engineer will be necessary.

For PDI G-101/ASME A112.14.3 (External Flow Control)–
Install the ow control device (purchased separately)
upstream, after the last branch connection discharging to the
interceptor. A maximum of 25ft from last branch discharge
to the entry of the interceptor is required to meet published
recommendations. See Page 12 for connection formats.
Plumbing code typically requires provision of a cleanout
to grade immediately before and after the inlet and outlet
connections.
