7.0 Measuring Grease/Solids Levels
Due to its unique design, Trapzilla is capable of retaining high quantities of grease in a compact footprint.
Therefore, unlike traditional interceptors, Trapzilla can hold an extraordinarily high percentage of its
volume in grease without losing separation efciency. To determine the current levels of grease/solids
in your Trapzilla grease interceptor, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove four nuts/washers securing the Solid Top Cover. Note the size of the unit which is marked
on the cover by a metal plate.
2. Place a grease/sludge dipstick into the center of the Trapzilla, making sure that it goes through
the hole in the horizontal bafe.
3. Once the dipstick has found its natural resting place at the lowest point in the conical shaped
bottom, take the measurement.
4. Remove dipstick and compare grease/sludge levels to the corresponding unit in the charts below.
