4.2 Instructions for Installing Multiple Trapzilla Units Above-Ground
When installing multiple Trapzilla units in series, the change in elevation from the inlet to the outlet of a
unit requires that each preceding unit be installed 1” higher than the unit after it. For above-ground units,
pressure treated plywood may be placed fully beneath the support stand to create the height difference.
All installations inside of a building must have a vessel vent installed and piped
to atmosphere.

5.0 In-Ground Installation Instructions
5.1 Plumbing Instructions for a Single Solids Separator Installed In-Ground
Trapzilla units may also be installed in the ground outside of the facility. For instances where the facility
drainage piping requires an extension collar that is no more than 18”, use the instructions for the full
TSS-95-ECA unit. If the unit is to be deeper in the ground, the ECA-TSS-29 Extension Collar Assembly
may be installed to align the Trapzilla inlet with the drainage piping. The ECA-TSS-29 may be trimmed
in the eld to t. Trim both the inner and outer portions of the extension collar to make shorter than
collapsed height. Thermaco, Inc. also recommends embedding the in-ground Trapzilla with concrete
to provide additional structural strength and to off set buoyancy effects. For Buoyancy Calculations &
suggested concrete ll quantities please see the following page. Use the full TSS-95-ECA for 0-18” of
collar needed or purchase separately the TSS-95 and ECA-TSS-29 for 5-29” of collar needed.
In-Ground Installations inside of a building must have a vessel vent installed and piped to
atmosphere.
* Units using additional extension collars must use adapter lid and/or extension collars included
with unit.
