CHAPTER 10
TRAPS AND INTERCEPTORS
1001.0 General.
1001.1 Applicability. This chapter shall govern the mate-
rials, design, and installation of traps and interceptors.
1001.2 Where Required. Each plumbing fixture, shall be
separately trapped by an approved type of liquid seal trap.
This section shall not apply to fixtures with integral traps.
Not more than one trap shall be permitted on a trap arm.
Food waste disposers installed with a set of restaurant, com-
mercial, or industrial sinks shall be connected to a separate
trap. Each domestic clothes washer and each laundry tub
shall be connected to a separate and independent trap,
except that a trap serving a laundry tub shall be permitted to
also receive the waste from a clothes washer set adjacent
thereto. The vertical distance between a fixture outlet and
the trap weir shall be as short as practicable, but in no case
shall the tailpiece from a fixture exceed 24 inches (610 mm)
in length. One trap shall be permitted to serve a set of not
more than three single compartment sinks or laundry tubs of
the same depth or three lavatories immediately adjacent to
each other and in the same room where the waste outlets are
not more than 30 inches (762 mm) apart and the trap is cen-
trally located where three compartments are installed.
FP The requirement for fixtures within the building
'o be trapped by a water seal (see Figure 1001.2a) has been
plumbing codes for almost 100 years. The trap's main
purpose is to eliminate the possibility of sewer gas from
entering the confines of the room or building. The water

seal, or trap seal, effectively accomplishes this by creating a
barrier of 2 to 4 inches of water that prevents sewer gas from
entering the room. A secondary benefit is that it prevents
access of pests or vermin to drains, as well as access to the
building through the fixture by way of the sewer system.
Each fixture must be separately trapped. Some fixtures
such as water closets and urinals have integral traps and do
not require an additional trap since the water seal is built in
its structure (see Figure 1001.2c).
The trap arm, the piping from the end of the trap to the
inner edge of the vent connection, may only serve one trap
(see Figures 1001.2b and 1001.2d). This eliminates the pos-
sibility of one trap being siphoned as the other fixture is
used. The flow along the trap arm passing the other trap con-
nection could siphon the unused trap. This is the reason why
each trap must be protected by a separate vent as is required
in Section 1002.2 and in Section 901.2, Vents Required.
The continuous waste provides a method of draining
multiple compartments to a single trap. The continuous
waste is limited to up to three compartments, sinks or lava-
tories, but only if they are within the 30 inch limitation. In a
three -sink configuration the trap must be located undeUli?n
center sink. This is to provide uniform draM sizing at
shorten the distance to the trap and its drain (see Fig
1001.2e, 1001.2f and 1001.2g).
The installation of a food waste disposal in a co
cial kitchen is normally under the jurisdiction of a h
department. In some areas, this installation may even
prohibited. Commercial kitchen sinks will often be con-
nected to a grease interceptor or hydromechanical device so
depositing food waste into these devices will negatively
affect their function. When they are allowed to be connect-
ed to the drainage system they must be installed on a sepa-
rate trap. This also means that they will have a separate trap
arm, vent, and fixture drain. This will effectively separate
the sink from the disposal, and if the disposal line becomes
plugged, the sink will still function (see Figure 1001.2h).

drainage connection. If a laundry tub, sometimes called a
laundry tray or sink, is installed but there are no connec-
tions for a clothes washer, then the clothes washer may be
set next to the sink and drain into it. The laundry sink com-
partment will be able to handle the pumped waste from the
clothes washer because of its volume.
The fixture tailpiece should be as short as possible to
limit the fall of waste into the trap. Excessive vertical
lengths of the tailpiece will increase the effective head pres-
sure above the inlet of the trap by increasing the height of

the column of water, which may be sufficient to induce
self-siphonage. As the length of the column increases, so
lso the velocity of the moving column of water, increasing
.e momentum pull on the trap seal, Research has proven
that limiting the tailpiece length to 24 inches will help to
eliminate the possibility of the trap to self -siphon. The tail-
piece may offset but the developed length of the tailpiece
must not exceed 24 inches (see Figure 1001.2i).
Other methods developed to eliminate self-siphonage
of the trap are the limitation of trap arm lengths (see
Section 1002.2) and the provision of a vent for the trap (see
Section 1002.1).
The clothes washer standpipe is not the tailpiece for a
clothes washer. The standpipe for the clothes washer is
considered to be an indirect waste receptor rather than a
tailpiece and, therefore, is limited by Section 804.1,
Standpipe Receptors, and not by this section of the code.
1002.0 Traps Protected by Vent Pipes.
1002.1 Vent Pipes. Each plumbing fixture trap, except as
otherwise provided in this code, shall be protected against
siphonage, backpressure, and air circulation shall be assured
throughout the drainage system by means of a vent pipe
installed in accordance with the requirements of this code.
cmagirIl The section (see also Section 901.2) requires the
trap to be protected from siphonage and backpressure by a
vent (see Figure 1002.1), and that air circulation is assured
throughout the system. Most of the measures to accomplish
this are discussed in Chapter 9 and should be reviewed
long with this chapter.
The protection of the waterseal trap is assured upon a
simple pneumatic principle, namely, equal atmospheric
pressure must he maintained on both sides of the trap.
When a trap is filled, the atmospheric pressure on the fix-
ture side of the trap water seal is equal to the atmospheric
pressure on the outlet side of the trap water seal. The vent
connection to the trap arm maintains that equal pressure on
the outlet side of the trap. As is discussed in Chapter 9, the
vent system is designed to maintain pressure variation with-
Straight
Tailpiece
in the system of plus or minus one -inch water column (.25
kPa). Pressures above or below that design pressure will
cause a trap to lose its water seal. A positive pressure on
the downstream side of the trap will cause air to blow
through the trap seal, pushing its contents into the fixture.
A negative pressure will siphon the trap seal into the trap
arm and the draM.
This allowable pressure variation of one -inch water
column is a considerable factor of safety for a trap seal of 2
inches or greater. For example, if a trap seal has a depth of
2 inches (see Figure 1005.1) and is subjected to a negative
pressure of one -inch water column, then the remaining trap
seal depth would be I 1/2 inches. If the trap seal is 4 inches,
then the remaining seal depth would be 31/2 inches. Hence,
it would take a negative pressure of a four -inch water col-
umn to siphon the water from a trap with a 2-inch seal
below the dip of the trap, and eight -inches of water column
to siphon a 4-inch seal below the dip of the trap. Designing
a venting system according to Chapter 9 ensures consider-
able safety margins by maintaining the pressure variations
within ± one -inch water column.
1002.2 Fixture Traps. Each fixture trap shall have a pro-
tecting vent so located that the developed length of the trap
arm from the trap weir to the inner edge of the vent shall be
within the distance given in Table 1002.2, but in no case
less than two times the diameter of the trap arm.
...=11111 The effect of length of unvented fixture drains on
self-siphonage was the subject of much research at the
National Bureau of Standards [see Recommended
Minimum Requirements for Plumbing BH13 (1928) and
Self-Siphonage of Fixture Traps BMS126 (1951)]. One of
the objectives of the research was to find the maximum
length of a fixture drain without self -siphoning.
This research demonstrated that the slope should be
confined between the limits of 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch per foot
and that the outlet end of the fixture drain should not
extend below the weir of the trap. Hence, Table 1002.2
shows maximum horizontal lengths of trap arms calculated

using a grade of 1/4 inch per foot to an extent where the trap
arm outlet will not be below the weir of the trap. For exam-
ple, a I 1/4 inch trap arm may have a maximum horizontal
distance of 30 inches without producing the effect of self-
siphonage (see Figures 1002.2a and 1002.2b).
The research also revealed the variations between short
and long turn pattern fittings (sanitary tee and combination
wye-eighth bend), the short turn fitting permitting the use
of longer unvented lengths of fixture drains. Thus, the short
turn fitting has better characteristics to prevent self-
siphonage and is preferred when connecting a fixture drain
to a vertical vent. The sanitary tee also allows the vent
opening to remain above the trap weir. This better allows
air into the trap ann while the fixture is draining and retards
any momentum pull that could cause siphonage.
Because the water closet and similar integrally trapped
fixtures function as self-siphonage fixtures, their traps are
an S-type. In this case, the trap arm length is calculated
along the developed length of the piping from the top of the
closet flange to the inner edge of the vent. Footnote 2 in
Table 1002.2 stipulates for the water closet trap arm a max-
imum length of 6 feet. This limitation is required whether
the water closet trap arm is 3 inches in diameter or 4 inches.
The same research discussed above also discovered
that the vent could be placed too close to the weir of the
trap. A style of venting the trap called the "crown vent"
been used but it was found to be subject to clogging. Whc
the fixture discharges, there is an upward vertical momen-
tum of flow on the outlet side of the trap which would enter
the vent if installed on the crown of the trap causing the
vent to eventually foul and clog. Also, the vent at the crown
of the trap or close to the crown is covered by the initial
full flow into the trap arm and is useless to prohibit
siphonage. Therefore, there is a minimum trap arm length
requirement. The minimum length is two times the diame-
ter of the trap ann. For example, the I 1/4 inch trap arm must
have a minimum distance of 21/2 inches from the weir of the
trap to the inner edge of the vent, Two times the diameter
of the pipe effectively moves the inner edge of the vent
away from the area of full flow in the trap arm and allows
the vent to function properly (see Figure 1002.2c).
1002.3 Change of Direction. A trap arm shall be per-
mitted to change direction without the use of a cleanout
where such change of direction does not exceed 90 degrees
(1.57 rad). Horizontal changes in direction of trap arms
shall be in accordance with Section 706.3.
Exception: For trap arms 3 inches (80 mm) in diameter and
larger, the change of direction shall not exceed 135 degrees
(2.36 rad) without the use of a cleanout.
cm=11r/A very common installation of the trap arm is a
90-degree turn in the trap arm between the trap and the con-
nection of the trap arm to the waste and vent (see Figur
1002.3). This is commonly called a "dirty arm." Researc
has determined that a 90-degree elbow in a horizontal trap
arm at a distance no greater than 18 to 20 inches from the
vertical inlet of the trap actually reduces the self-siphonage
effect (NBS, Recommended Minimum Requirements for
Plumbing BH13). The 90-degree turn is allowable if the fit-
ting used complies with Section 706.3, which states which
fittings may connect horizontal lines with other horizontal
lines. This essentially limits the 90-degree change of direc-
tion to a long sweep or two 45-degree fittings. However, in

1003.0 Traps — Described.
1003.1 General Requirements. Each trap, except for
traps within an interceptor or similar device shall be self
cleaning. Traps for bathtubs, showers, lavatories, sinks,
laundry tubs, floor drains, urinals, drinking fountains, dental
units, and similar fixtures shall be of standard design,
weight and shall be of ABS, cast -brass, cast-iron, lead, PP,
PVC, or other approved material. An exposed and readily
accessible drawn -copper alloy tubing trap, not less than 17
B & S Gauge (0.045 inch) (1.143 mm), shall be permitted to
be used on fixtures discharging domestic sewage.
Exception: Drawn -copper alloy tubing traps shall not be
used for urinals. Each trap shall have the manufacturer's
name stamped legibly in the metal of the trap, and each tub-
ing trap shall have the gauge of the tubing in addition to the
2015 UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE ILLUSTRATED TRAINING MANUAL 305

FIGURE 1002.4
IMPROPER FITTINGS USED FOR VENT CONNECTION
manufacturer's name. A trap shall have a smooth and uni-
form interior waterway.
c11111 The requirement for self-cleaning traps does not
refer to any internal mechanism within the trap itself It sim-
ply refers to the self -scouring potential that the flow rate of
discharge has within the trap itself to prevent fouling. The P
nap is already designed to be self-cleaning or self -scouring
if sized correctly. Although an increase of trap seal depth
reduces the potential for self-siphonage, it will also decrease
the scouring properties by reducing the rate of flow through
the trap. A drum trap is an example of a trap that is not self-
cleaning (see commentary for Section 1004.1).
Traps are part of the drainage system and must be
approved for drainage materials listed. The brass tubing
trap of not less than 17 Brown and Sharp (B&S) sheet
metal gauge must be readily accessible. The trap gauge is
thicker than the allowable continuous waste gauge of 20
B&S gauge because the trap will hold waste water continu-
ously and must be more resistant to corrosion than the con-
tinuous waste or tailpiece.
The use of drawn brass traps for urinals is not allowed
because of the corrosive contents (urine) of the liquid waste
in the urinal trap. Each trap must also be readily identifiable
not only for the installer but for the inspector and mainte-
nance personnel.
1003.2 Slip Joint Fittings. A maximum of one
approved slip joint fitting shall be permitted to be used on
the outlet side of a trap, and no tubing trap shall be installed
without a listed tubing trap adapter. Listed plastic trap
adapters shall be permitted to be used to connect listed
metal tubing traps.
..71111'11 Slip joints are limited on each trap arm to one
slip joint fitting after the P trap. This would allow the slip
joint on a trap arm extension or a 45-degree offset,
Remodeling a sink cabinet is an application where such a
slip joint may he needed. The new cabinet may offset the
fixture trap from the waste connection. To reconnect the
trap to the existing trap adapter, a slip extension piece or
45-degree offset slip joint may be needed.
An approved trap adapter must be used at the connection
of the trap arm to the drainage fitting. Whether it is a plastic
pipe end or a galvanized nipple, a trap adapter must be used.
The adapter prevents the trap arm from extending too far
down the drainage pipe or, if placed close to the waste and
vent connection, from passing into the drainage fitting and
blocking the waste or airflow (see Figure 1003.2).
FIGURE 1003.2
TRAP ADAPTER - NOTICE STOP FOR P-TRAP ARM
1003.3 Size. The size (nominal diameter) of a trap for a
given fixture shall be sufficient to drain the fixture rapidly
but in no case less than nor more than one pipe size largk
than given in Table 702.1. The trap shall be the same size
as the trap arm to which it is connected.
Trap sizes are generally based on the size of the
fixture outlet. The size of the trap and trap arm should cor-
respond to the size of the fixture outlet to provide proper
discharge flow rate and prevent overflowing or sluggish
drainage. If the trap is smaller than what is required in
Table 702.1 Drainage Fixture Unit Valves (DFU), then the
effect of self-siphonage would increase. If it is oversized
more than one pipe size, then the flow from the fixture
would not be enough to provide the proper scouring or
cleaning effect for the trap. However, allowing the trap to
increase only one size larger than the minimum require-
ment will not significantly affect the scouring ability of the
trap and will also decrease the effect of self-siphonage.
For example, a kitchen sink trap that is a minimum of
11/2 inches can be increased to 2 inches. This would allow a
longer trap ai-rn developed length. Notice that this section
requires the trap to be the same size as the trap arm. If the
option to use a 2-inch trap arm is selected, this code section
also mandates that a 2-inch trap be installed. A 2-inch trap
could not be used with a 11/2-inch trap ami as this would be
an obstruction to flow prohibited in Chapter 3.
1004.0 Traps.
1004.1 Prohibited. No form of trap that depends for i'
seal upon the action of movable parts shall be used. No tr

that has concealed interior partitions, except those of plas-
tic, glass, or similar corrosion -resisting material, shall be
sed. "S" traps, bell traps, and crown -vented traps shall be
zohibited. No fixture shall be double trapped. Drum and
bottle traps shall be installed for special conditions. No trap
shall be installed without a vent, except as otherwise pro-
vided in this code.
..m=111111 Manufacturers have produced various kinds of
traps in the past and continue to do so with innovative
designs. However, not all designs have been found favor-
able for a safe plumbing system. Certain anti -siphon traps
have been designed with movable parts or mechanical
means to maintain its trap seal (see Figure 1004.1a). The
problem with these types of traps is that they may foul and
malfunction over time since they are not self -cleansing.
Traps with interior partitions are permitted only if the parti-
tion is of noncorrosive material (see Figure 1004.1b).
Interior partitions are not visible and if the partition cor-
rodes, the trap seal will be lost without notice.
The unsuitability of crown vented traps to be used in
the drainage system has already been discussed in Section
1002.2, and the S trap is ineffective in protecting the trap
seal because the arrangement of the S trap makes the trap
seal too susceptible to siphonage (see Figure 1004.1e).
The bell trap (see Figure 1004.1d) consists of a cup
with a standpipe in the middle over which is a bell that dips
into the water contained in the cup to form a seal. Also, this
trap is not self -cleansing, the seal depth is very shallow
-)ften less than one-half inch), and it is known to be very
tuggish in draining.
Drum and bottle traps (see Figures 1004.1e and
1004.1f) may be installed only when permitted by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for use under special
conditions. Drum traps are used as sediment traps, separat-

ing out small solids before they enter the drainage system.
The bottle trap is similar to the P trap, but with a slightly
different configuration and is somewhat more prone to
siphonage than the P trap. It is smaller than the P trap and
used where space saving is necessary. These traps may still
be used upon approval but there should be a valid reason.
When a fixture is double trapped, the piping between
the two traps could become air bound, resulting in a slow
drain and increasing the possibility of a stoppage. There is
also the possibility of one or both of the traps being
siphoned by the flow through them; therefore, no fixture
may be double trapped.
1004.2 Movable Parts. Bladders, check valves or other
type of devices with moveable parts shall be prohibited to
serve as a trap.
€3..=9111This section prohibits movable parts that maintain
a trap seal. Some traps have been manufactured to function
without liquid seals. These traps utilize a bladder or

diaphragm mechanism that is typically closed to seal off
sewer gas while allowing expansion of the diaphragm when
there is discharge of water. Similarly, check valves do not
rely on trapped water to prevent the emission of sewer gas.
Although these products may be initially effective, there still
exist conditions where fouling may cause the movable parts
to no longer seal tight and allow the emission of gases.
1005.0 Trap Seals.
1005.1 General. Each fixture trap shall have a liquid seal
of not less than 2 inches (51 mm) and not more than 4 inch-
es (102 mm), except where a deeper seal is found necessary
by the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Traps shall be set true
with respect to their liquid seals and, where necessary, they
shall be protected from freezing.
cm=1111 The water seal that forms the trap barrier is the
maximum vertical depth of liquid that a trap will retain. It
is measured between the crown weir and the top of the dip
of the trap. A water seal of not less than two inches and not
more than four inches was found to be the optimum depth
to provide the necessary protection against sewer gas and
still provide the self -scouring effect needed to keep the trap
from fouling (see Figure 1005.1). A trap with less than
two -inches of seal depth offers less resistance to self-
siphonage and more readily loses its seal by evaporation.
Obviously the greater the seal depth, the opposite is propor-
tionately true.
Traps for special equipment or circumstances, such as
a grease interceptor, may have a deeper trap seal but these
are usually for commercial or industrial applications th•
require a greater depth. Also, in most of these cases the tn.
seal is not in a P-trap but in the depth of water in a tank.
The trap must be set true (level) with respect to the liq-
uid bound in the trap. This means that the water columns on
both sides of the trap must be level with each other on the
same horizontal plane of the trap weir. If not, the depth of
the trap seal will be compromised with a lesser depth,
reducing protection from backpressure or siphonage.
FIGURE 1005.1
STANDARD TRAP SEAL AND DEEP SEAL TRAP
1006.0 Floor Drain Traps.
1006.1 General. Floor drains shall connect into a trap so
constructed that it can be readily cleaned and of a size to
serve efficiently the purpose for which it is intended. The
drain inlet shall be so located that it is in full view. Where
subject to reverse flow of sewage or liquid waste, such
drains shall be equipped with an approved backwater valve.
0==r11 Floor drains arc usually an emergency device
placed in the floor to catch the overflow from sinks or
equipment. Because they are at floor level they could even-
tually collect sediment or other debris in the trap. If there is
any flow at all into most floor drain traps, it will be a very
low or intermittent flow and not enough to provide a scour-
ing action in the trap. Sediment may build up and eventual-
ly plug the trap; therefore, they must be installed in open
sight for the ability to service them.
1007.0 Trap Seal Protection.
1007.1 General. Floor draM or similar traps directly con-
nected to the drainage system and subject to infrequent u'
shall be protected with a trap seal primer, except where i.

deemed necessary for safety or sanitation by the Authority
Having Jurisdiction. Trap seal primers shall be accessible
'1r maintenance.
1Floor drain traps that do not connect to a water -
supplied fixture will tend to evaporate. Other traps that are
not periodically used or are installed in overly dry areas
will lose their seal by simple evaporation. The result of this
loss of trap seal allows known health hazards such as
hydrogen sulfide, methane, bacteria, viruses and mold to
enter the living space. The SARS epidemic (Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome) reported in Hong Kong, China in
2003 caused in part by a dry and leaking trap, has raised the
awareness of the dangers of an unprotected sanitary
drainage system.
One of the first lines of defense against trap failure is
the trap primer, which is a piping device that helps to main-
tain a water seal in a remote trap, A trap primer connects to
a cold water inlet or other water supply. Every time that
inlet or supply is used, a small amount of water flows down
to the trap to keep the water seal from drying up. If the
primer is electronic, it is set on a timer that daily releases
enough water to maintain the trap seal (see Figures
1007.1a and 1007.1b).
It is clear that traps can easily dry up in rooms where
floor drains are seldom used, but it may not be obvious that
traps dry up in rooms that are used daily. This is a common
problem in mechanical and service rooms, which are often
dry and overly warm. Years ago, traps would be regularly
plenished on the janitor's nightly rounds. Enough of the
,oapy water from those old fashioned heavy mops would
go down the floor draM to replenish the trap. Today, with
the popularity of dry chemicals for cleaning, not much
water is used on the floors, at least not enough to keep the

traps seal full. By providing a trickle of water every time
water is used, trap seal primers refill the seal of a P-trap.
Making the correct choice of which trap primer to use
should take some thought. There are three main kinds of
trap seal primers:
1. Pressure drop activated.
2. Flush valve operated.
3. Multiple and electronic activated.
Pressure -drop -activated trap seal primers are usually
brass, have a one -half -inch Mail Iron Pipe (MIP) inlet con-
nection, and one -half -inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) outlet
connection. An interior cartridge seals when the line pres-
sure is in a static state, but when the line pressure drops just
three psi (20.68 kPa) by the flushing of a toilet, a faucet
opened, etc., the cartridge will rise. It rises because a pres-
sure differential has occurred within the primer. At this
point, a metered amount of water is discharged under pres-
sure into the line connected to the floor drain trap.
Pressure drop activated trap seal primers are designed
to minimize the problem of clogging. These trap seal
primers are constructed with a fine mesh filter, keeping line
debris at bay.
The flush -valve -operated trap seal primer gets its name
from its installation (see Figure 1007.1c). It is placed
below the flush valve on a water closet or urinal and con-
nects to the floor drain by a tube so that the tube can catch
some of the water discharged from the flush valve. The
water runs down the tube to the floor drain and the water
seal is maintained. This trap seal primer has two positive
features: 1) low water consumption since it only uses a por-
tion of the discharged water from the flush valve operation,
and 2) no moving parts. However, this trap seal primer also

introduces some restrictions. Its use may not be practical
because the flush -valve may be situated too far from the
floor drains. In this case, a pressure -drop -activated trap
primer is more practical since it can be installed close to the
drain that needs to be primed.
When a number of pressure -drop -activated trap seal
primers are located close to one another, they can be
primed via a multiple trap primer (see Figure 1007.1d), In
this case, a metered amount of water from the trap primer is
evenly distributed to more than one floor drain trap by
means of a distribution unit or an electronic primer mani-

fold. For every 20 feet of floor drain trap make-up water
line, the primer must be a minimum of 1 foot elevation
from the finished floor. It should generally be mounte-
level with the water supply line.
These multiple units can be installed in a variety of sit-
uations. For example, such a unit is useful when a men's
restroom is located next to a women's restroom. In this
instance, one trap seal primer can serve both floor drain
traps, omitting the need for additional trap primers, extra
shutoff valves, another access door and air gap fittings,
which saves time, money, and labor. They can also be
installed with an electronic timer to provide automatic fill-
ing of the trap seal. In this installation there is no worry
about having enough pressure drop or use of the fixtures to
keep the trap filled.
The trap primer must be accessible. The access door
needs to be large enough to allow the plumber to reach the
trap seal pruner, the line shutoff valve and any other acces-
sories present. Installing a line shutoff valve will make
repair and maintenance that much easier.
1008.0 Building Traps.
1008.1 General. Building traps shall not be installed
except where required by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction. Each building trap where installed shall be
provided with a cleanout and with a relieving vent or fresh -
air intake on the inlet side of the trap, which need not be
larger than one-half the diameter of the drain to which it
connects. Such relieving vent or fresh -air intake shall be
carried above grade and terminate in a screened outh
located outside the building.

not installed although there may be reasons for their inclu-
sion in the building sewer. Therefore the code allows the

AHJ to make the determination when they are necessary.
Some of the reasons for prohibiting building traps are: 1) it
Iterferes with the flow of sewage and air movements in the
plumbing system; 2) it reduces the carrying capacity of the
building drain due to the added resistance; 3) it increases
the potential of back pressure in the soil stack; and 4) it
reduces the ventilation of the street sewers.
Some of the reasons for permitting the use of building
traps are: 1) it affords an additional barrier against adrnis-
sion of sewer gas in case of trap evaporation or leakage; 2)
it is needed in very cold climates to prevent frost closure of
a vent terminal by reducing the circulation of air coirnmuni-
INLET
cated from the street sewer through the plumbing system;
3) it prevents exposing neighboring occupants from foul
odors communicated through a vent terminal where build-
ings are in close proximity to each other.
The building trap is also used where there is a com-
bined sewer and storm system (see Section 1101.15). Sewer
gas is not permitted into the storm drainage system by the
use of a building trap installed on the main storm drain
before the wye connection to the combined building sewer.
The Code does not require a fresh air inlet for a building
storm drain trap, but a cleanout has to be provided on the
outlet side of the trap.
1009.0 Interceptors (Clarifiers) and Separators.
1009.1 Where Required. Interceptors (clarifiers)
(including grease, oil, sand, solid interceptors, etc.) shall be
required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction where they
are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes con-
taining grease, flammable wastes, sand, solids, acid or alka-
line substances, or other ingredients harmful to the building
drainage system, the public or private sewer, or to public or
private sewage disposal.
assMiln Interceptors and separators serve a different
purpose than fixture traps in that they protect the drainage
and sewer systems from the introduction of substances
that might be harmful to those systems. An interceptor or
separator is a device designed and installed to separate,
retain and treat deleterious, hazardous and undesirable
matter before they enter the sewer system (see Figure
1009.1). Normal sewage or liquid wastes bypass these
devices and discharge into the sewer system via the build-
ing drain and sewer.
If large amounts of grease, soaps and oils enter a sewer
system, the materials will coagulate, solidify and adhere to
the inside wall of the pipe, eventually blocking or partially
blocking the pipe. Similarly, solids such as sand, plaster,
metal chips and stones will cause stoppages or partial stop-
pages if peiiiiitted to enter the system. Oils, kerosene, gaso-
line, naphtha and paraffin present the danger of fire and

TRAPS AND INTERCEPTORS
explosion in sewer piping. Acids, alkalis and other chemi-
cal wastes in concentrated amounts could attack the piping
through corrosion. In addition, all of the above are detri-
mental to proper functioning of sewage treatment plants,
both public and private, and must be collected and treated
before they discharge to the sewer system.
There are three principal methods of intercepting and
treating these unwanted wastes. They are:
1. Floatation. Gasoline, oil, grease and other volatile liquids
are lighter than water and are not readily soluble in water.
They tend to separate out of the liquid waste and float to the
top of the container where they can then be collected and
removed. Hydrornechanical grease interceptors, gravity
grease interceptors and oil or gas interceptors are examples of
devices that use floatation as a primary method of separation.
2. Sedimentation. Sand and other solids, which are heavier
than water and also are not soluble in water, tend to settle
out of the waste water to the bottom of the container. The
solids can then be puinped or vacuumed out of the intercep-
tor. Sand interceptors, septic tanks and drum traps for
smaller installations are examples of devices that use sedi-
mentation as the primary method of separation.
3. Neutralization. Chemical wastes that could be detrimental
to the sewage system in concentrated amounts must be neu-
tralized before entering the sewer system. Chemical waste is
collected before entry into the sewer and treated or neutral-
ized before being discharged to the sewer. Acid neutralizing
tanks and other such devices are examples of systems that
use neutralization as the primary method of separation.
Occasionally, waste with high concentrations of grease
or emulsified grease may require further treatment, such as
additional settling, rock filtration and chemical or mechani-
cal treatment to remove the grease. There are many
instances where one of the three methods or a combination
of methods for treating these wastes is needed.
Examples of the use of these devices are: restaurants,
hotels, cafeterias, schools, hospitals and institutional or
commercial buildings where food is served in great quanti-
ty may produce grease in sufficient amounts to warrant the
installation of grease interceptors; dairies, slaughterhouses
and commercial food -processing plants have grease and
fats as byproducts and require interceptors; gasoline service
stations, garages, automobile repair shops, laundries, dry-
cleaning plants, machine shops and industries using chemi-
cal processing are sources of flammable and volatile wastes
that must be removed and treated; machine shops, garages,
service stations, hospitals, medical clinics, dental laborato-
ries and fish preparation areas contribute solids such as
metals, plaster, sand and fish scales; hair and lint intercep-
tors may be necessary in beauty salons, barbershops, surgi-
cal preparation rooms and veterinary facilities; and dental
laboratories and jewelry manufacturers may require inter-
ceptors for the recovery of precious metals.
Separators and interceptors will be designed by the
manufacturer and the installation location designated by a
plumbing engineer or design professional. The plumber's
or plumbing contractor's responsibility is to install the sys-
tem properly. In addition to the manufacturer's installation
instructions, the following sections provide guidance for
the installation of the interceptor or separator.
1009.2 Approval. The size, type, and location of eaci.
interceptor (clarifier) or separator shall be approved by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction. Except where otherwise
specifically permitted, no wastes other than those requiring
treatment or separation shall be discharged into an intercep-
tor (clarifier).
1009.3 Design. Interceptors (clarifiers) for sand and simi-
lar heavy solids shall be so designed and located as to be
readily accessible for cleaning and shall have a water seal
of not less than 6 inches (152 mm).
1009.4 Relief Vent. Interceptors (clarifiers) shall be so
designed that they will not become air -bound where closed
covers are used. Each interceptor (clarifier) shall be proper-
ly vented.
1009.5 Location. Each interceptor (clarifier) cover shall
be readily accessible for servicing and maintaining the
interceptor (clarifier) in working and operating condition.
The use of ladders or the removal of bulky equipment in
order to service interceptors (clarifiers) shall constitute a
violation of accessibility. Location of interceptors (clari-
fiers) shall be shown on the approved building plan.
1009.6 Maintenance of Interceptors. Interceptors
shall be maintained in efficient operating condition by peri-
odic removal of accumulated grease, scum, oil, or other
floating substances and solids deposited in the interceptor.
1009.7 Discharge. The waste pipe from oil and sari(
interceptors shall discharge as approved by the Authority
Having Jurisdiction.
1010.0 Slaughterhouses, Packing Establishments,
etc.
1010.1 General. A fish, fowl, and animal slaughterhouse
or establishment; a fish, fowl, and meat packing or curing
establishment; a soap factory, tallow -rendering, fat -render-
ing, and a hide -curing establishment shall be connected to
and shall drain or discharge into an approved grease inter-
ceptor (clarifier).
1011.0 Minimum Requirements for Auto Wash
Racks.
1011.1 General. A private or public wash rack, or floor or
slab used for cleaning machinery or machine parts shall be
adequately protected against storm or surface water and shall
draM or discharge into an approved interceptor (clarifier).
1012.0 Commercial and Industrial Laundries.
1012.1 General. Laundry equipment in commercial and
industrial buildings that does not have integral strainers
shall discharge into an interceptor having a wire basket or
similar device that is removable for cleaning and that will
prevent passage into the drainage system of solids 1/2 of an
inch (12.7 min) or larger in maximum dimension, such as
string, rags, buttons, or other solid materials detrimental to
the public sewerage system.
1013.0 Bottling Establishments.
312 2015 UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE ILLUSTRATED TRAINING MANUAL
TRAPS AND INTERCEPTORS
1013.1 General. Bottling plants shall discharge their pro-
cess wastes into an interceptor that will provide for the sep-
-ation of broken glass or other solids, before discharging
fluid wastes into the drainage system.
1014.0 Grease Interceptors.
- 1 Prior to the 2000 UPC, the term "grease trap" was
used to identify almost any installation that provided fats,
oils or grease (FOG) removal. The grease trap was actually
used to provide the fixture trap for one fixture if certain
requirements were met. However, research discovered that
the fixture trap did a better job of protecting the trap seal so
the use of the grease trap as a fixture trap was eliminated.
Because of the fact that the grease trap is not a fixture trap
and in order to create a uniform description of these devices,
the 2003 UPC termed them "grease interceptors."
The UPC identifies four separate types of devices used
in the collection, retention and disposal of FOG. They may
be used separately or in combination to create a complete
FOG removal and disposal system. For convenience, they
are listed here with their definition from Chapter 2.
I. Hydromechanical Grease Interceptor - A plumbing
appurtenance or appliance that is installed in a sanitary
drainage system to intercept nonpetroleum fats, oil, and
grease (FOG) from a wastewater discharge and is identi-
fied by flow rate, and separation and retention efficiency.
The design incorporates air entrainment, hydromechanical
separation, interior baffling, or barriers in combination or
separately, and one of the following:
- External flow control, with air intake (vent), directly
connected
B - External flow control, without air intake (vent), directly
connected
C - Without external,flow control, directly connected
D - Without external flow control, indirectly connected
these interceptors comply with the requirements of .Table
1014.2,1. Hydromechanical grease interceptors are gener-
ally installed inside.
The hydromechanical grease interceptor (HGI) is a
smaller device and is basically what was referred to as the
"grease trap," as earlier models did in fact function as the
fixture trap (see Figure 1014.0a). The term "hydromechan-
ical" refers to the use of air -injecting flow controls, counter
flow baffles and barrier baffles along with the natural buoy-
ancy of FOG to accomplish its function of FOG separation.
2. Grease Removal Device (GRD) - A hydromechanical
grease interceptor that automatically, mechanically
removes non -petroleum fats, oils and grease (FOG) ,from
the interceptor, the control of which are either automatic or
manually initiated.
The grease removal device (GRD) (see Figure
1014.0b) not only separates the FOG from the wastewater
but also removes the FOG from the interceptor. Normally,
a hydromechanical grease interceptor (HGI) design is used
in conjunction with the method of removing the FOG.
There are two basic types of GRDs:
a. Timer controlled. This typically utilizes a disk or belt
that passes through the FOG layer and a squeegee device to
wipe the accumulated FOG from the disk or belt into a
drain trough and into a FOG receptacle. Other means of
removing the FOG include a pump or gravity flow activat-
ed by the timer.
b. Sensor -controlled devices. These sense the presence of
FOG and initiate the removal process only when necessary
and as often as necessary. The GRD can always keep the
retained FOG below the rated capacity of the device. They
use valving and gravity or pump -assisted FOG removal.
3. Gravity Grease Interceptor - A plumbing appurtenance
or appliance that is installed in a sanitary drainage system
to intercept nonpetroleum fats, oils, and greases (FOG)
from a wastewater discharge and is identified by volume,
30-minute retention time, baffle(s) not less than two com-
partments, a total volume of not less than 300 gallons

TRAPS AND INTERCEPTORS
(1135 L), and gravity separation. [These interceptors com-
ply with the requirements of Chapter 10 or are designed by
a registered professional engineer.] Gravity grease inter-
ceptors are generally installed outside.
The gravity grease interceptor is normally a large vol-
ume tank constructed of steel, concrete, fiberglass or plas-
tic. It separates FOG from wastewater by gravity alone. The
FOG -entrained wastewater enters the tank using tee baffles
to direct the flow below the floating FOG level in order to
leave the floating FOG undisturbed. Retention time is used
to separate the FOG from the wastewater by floatation (see
Figures 1009.1 and 1014.3).
4. FOG Disposal System — A grease interceptor that
reduces nonpetroleum fats, oils, and grease (FOG) in efflu-
ent by separation, mass, and volume reduction,
The FOG disposal system usually employs the HGI
method for separating out the FOG. Disposal or remedia-
tion of FOG is accomplished by thermal, chemical. electri-
cal or biochemical means. Each method attempts to change
the molecular composition of the FOG to render it harmless
or to enhance the digestion of the FOG as it is retained in
the interceptor.
1014.1 General. Where it is determined by the Authority
Having Jurisdiction that waste pretreatment is required, an
approved type of grease interceptor(s) in accordance with
ASME A112.14.3, ASME A112.14.4, CSA B481, PDI G-
101, or PDI G-102, and sized in accordance with Section
1014.2.1 or Section 1014.3.6, shall be installed in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's installation instructions to
receive the drainage from fixtures or equipment that pro-
duce grease -laden waste located in areas of establishments
where food is prepared, or other establishments where
grease is introduced into the drainage or sewage system in
quantities that can effect line stoppage or hinder sewage
treatment or private sewage disposal systems. A combina-
tion of hydromechanical, gravity grease interceptors, and
engineered systems shall be allowed in order to meet this

straints of existing buildings necessitate such installationF
A grease interceptor shall not be required for individua
dwelling units or for private living quarters. Water closets,
urinals, and other plumbing fixtures conveying human
waste shall not draM into or through the grease interceptor.
cm=1111Although much FOG is created in residential
kitchens and disposed of by draining to the sanitary drainage
system, there is no requirement for individual residential
grease interceptors. Human waste from the drainage system
must bypass the interceptor. Adding this waste to the inter-
ceptor will render it useless by overfilling it with solids.
1014.1.1 Trapped and Vented. Each fixture discharg-
ing into a grease interceptor shall be individually trapped
and vented in an approved manner.
1014.1.2 Maintenance. Grease interceptors shall be
maintained in efficient operating condition by periodic
removal of the accumulated grease and latent material. No
such collected grease shall be introduced into drainage pip-
ing or a public or private sewer. Where the Authority
Having Jurisdiction determines that a grease interceptor is
not being properly cleaned or maintained, the Authority
Having Jurisdiction shall have the authority to mandate the
installation of additional equipment or devices and to man-
date a maintenance program.
awv=11111 Maintenance is the most difficult part of the FOG
removal system. The installation of these systems is man-
dated by codes and it is relatively easy to check compli
ance. However, ensuring that the maintenance of these sys-
tems is accomplished is another matter. Although their
maintenance is mandated, it is difficult, if not impossible,
to ensure that it is being done. A poorly maintained system
is as useful as no system at all.
When maintaining these systems two factors must be
addressed — service interval and FOG disposal. If the ser-
vice interval is too long, the FOG will either simply pass

through the overloaded interceptor or begin to breakdown
into other harmful compounds. Long-term storage of FOG
a large interceptor can create a dangerous condition. The
reation of hydrogen sulfide is a byproduct of FOG decom-
position and could lead to the corrosion of piping and the
interceptor itself, not to mention that it is a lethal gas if it
escapes the system.
The development of the GRD and the FOG disposal
system is a result of this maintenance problem. They can at
least eliminate some of the maintenance problems by
removal or remediation of the FOG. However. these
devices do not solve all the maintenance issues. The
devices will still need to be cleaned periodically and solids
that have entered the interceptor removed.
1014.1.3 Food Waste Disposers and Dishwashers.
No food waste disposer or dishwasher shall be connected to
or discharge into a grease interceptor. Commercial food
waste disposers shall be permitted to discharge directly into
the building's drainage system.
Exception: Food waste disposers shall be permitted to dis-
charge to grease interceptors that are designed to receive
the discharge of food waste.
...MI The only time a food waste disposer should dis-
charge to a grease interceptor is when the grease interceptor
is specifically designed to accept food waste. Otherwise, a
food waste disposer should never discharge to a grease
interceptor as such a discharge can cause the grease inter-
ceptor to fail. The solids from the disposal will become
utrained in the interceptor and begin to fill it unless
...leaned out. If a disposal is connected to the grease inter-
ceptor not designed to receive food waste, a solids intercep-
tor must precede the grease interceptor. The entrance of
soapy water from a dishwasher into the interceptor will also
be harmful to the system. The chemicals in dishwater will
adversely affect the function of the interceptor and must be
kept from the system.
1014.2 Hydromechanical Grease Interceptors.
Plumbing fixtures or equipment connected to a Type A and
B hydromechanical grease interceptor shall discharge
through an approved type of vented flow control installed
in a readily accessible and visible location. Flow control
devices shall be designed and installed so that the total flow
through such device or devices shall at no time be greater
than the rated flow of the connected grease interceptor. No
flow control device having adjustable or removable parts
shall be approved. The vented flow control device shall be
located such that no system vent shall be between the flow
control and the grease interceptor inlet. The vent or air inlet
of the flow control device shall connect with the sanitary
drainage vent system, as elsewhere required by this code, or
shall terminate through the roof of the building, and shall
not terminate to the free atmosphere inside the building.
Exception: Listed grease interceptors with integral flow
controls or restricting devices shall be installed in an acces-
tile location in accordance with the manufacturer's instal -
ion instructions.
,.,711r1 The hydromechanical grease interceptor (HGI)
uses the principles of fluid dynamics by taking advantage
of air entrained in the effluent through the use of the vented
flow control (see Figure 1014.2a). The FOG -laden
wastewater passes through the flow control on its way into
the interceptor. As the effluent passes through the orifice of
the flow control, air is introduced to the flow from the air
vent. Upon entering the interceptor, the effluent is directed
through the separation chamber. The entrained air will sep-
arate from the effluent quickly and then accomplishes two
tasks. The escaping air accelerates the separation of FOG as
it rises rapidly to the surface of the water in the separation
chamber. The rising air burbles literally pull the FOG glob-
ules to the top of the water. The released air then provides a
small amount of positive pressure above the contents of the
separation chamber to regulate the internal running water
level of the grease interceptor, keeping it from becoming
air bound.
A flow control shall be installed on each fixture dis-
charging to the HGI. A single flow control is allowed for
multiple fixtures as long as the resulting total flow from the
fixtures meets the capacity requirements of Section
1014.2.1 (see Figure 1014.2b). There should also be no fix-
ture vent between the flow control and the interceptor. This
would allow too much air to be entrained into the flow.
The placement of the flow control is vitally important
to the functioning of the interceptor. It should be placed as
close as possible to the fixture. There should be as little
vertical height as possible between the fixture outlet and
the flow control. If the flow control is placed well below
the fixture, the added head pressure above the flow control
will render the flow control useless as it will increase the
flow through the system (see Figure 1014.2c).

FLOW CONTROL INSTALLATION
For the purpose of this section, the term "fixture" shall
mean and include each plumbing fixture, appliance, appa-
ratus, or other equipment required to be connected to or
discharged into a grease interceptor by a provision of this
section.
rp When sizing for a hydromechanical grease inter-
ceptor (HGI) using fixture capacity, determine the compart-
ment sizes of the fixtures and calculate the volume in cubic
inches (LxWxD). Divide the volume by 231 to calculate the
volume of liquid in gallons. Per Example 1014.2.1, multi-
ply the gallons by the fill factor .75. This fill factor takes
into account that the fixture is normally filled to about 75
percent of capacity, with the other 25 percent being dis-
placed by the items placed in the fixture for washing.
Therefore, the actual drainage load is 75 percent of the fix-
ture capacity.
Once the actual drainage load is calculated, determine
the flow rate per minute using a one minute or two minute
drainage period. Typically, sinks will drain within a one -
minute period, which determines the drainage load in gal-
lons per minute.
When would the two -minute drainage period be used?
When the capacity of the fixtures (in gallons) discharging
into the interceptor is 2'/2 times the flow rate capacity of the
HGI, a two -minute drainage period would be used. T

code allows the capacity of the fixtures to be 21/2 times the
flow rate of the HGI to give latitude to space constraints for
an interceptor. A smaller interceptor may be used, but the
consequence is a longer drainage period.
For example, a four -compartment sink is to discharge
into a EIGI. Each compartment size is 24x24x12. Using the
method described in the first paragraph, the actual drainage
load is 89.8 gallons. Using the drainage period of one minute,
a HGI equal to or greater than 89.8 gpm would be required (a
typical size is 100 gpm). Suppose a 100 gpm interceptor
would not fit due to space limitations. The Code would allow
a 50 gpm interceptor with the acceptance that the fixtures
would take longer to drain. Instead of one minute, the
drainage period would be extended to two minutes.
Remember, the flow control device will not allow the dis-
charge rate to exceed 50 gprn. The drainage load of 89.8 gal-
lons is within 21/2 times the flow rate of 50 gpm. If the capaci-
ty of the fixtures had exceeded 125 gallons, then a 50 gpm
interceptor would not be permitted.
1014.2.2 Vent. A vent shall be installed downstream of
hydromechanical grease interceptors in accordance with the
requirements of this code.
.1.1.711111 The HGI itself must be vented to keep it from
becoming air bound (see Figure 1014.2a).
1014.3 Gravity Grease Interceptors. Required gravity
grease interceptors shall comply with the provisions of
Section 1014.3.1 through Section 1014.3.7.
0..=.11 The gravity grease interceptor, as stated earlier,
is a large volume tank with two sections. Its function is rel-
atively simple. The effluent enters the tank through a baf-
fled tee so as to not disturb the accumulated FOG floating
at the top of the water level. The effluent is retained in the
initial chamber until flow forces it into the next chamber
and eventually out to the sewer. The FOG is separated by
gravity — the FOG floats to the top of the water level. The
tank is sized to allow enough retention time to permit the
FOG to separate.
A sampling box is installed in the outflow line to
enable maintenance personnel to check on the functioning

at the outlet end of gravity grease interceptors so that the
Authority Having Jurisdiction can periodically sample
effluent quality.
1014.3.6 Sizing Criteria. The volume of the interceptor
shall be determined by using Table 1014.3.6. Where
drainage fixture units (DFUs) are not known, the intercep-
tor shall be sized based on the maximum DFUs allowed for
the pipe size connected to the inlet of the interceptor. Refer
to Table 703.2, Drainage Piping, Horizontal.

1015.1 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide
the necessary criteria for the sizing, application, and instal-
lation of FOG disposal systems designated as a pretreat-
ment or discharge water quality compliance strategy.
1015.2 Components, Materials, and Equipment.
FOG disposal systems, including components, materials,
-nd equipment necessary for the proper function of the sys-
m, shall be in accordance with ASME A112.14.6.
1015.3 Sizing and Installation. FOG disposal systems
shall be sized and installed in accordance with the manufac-
turer's installation instructions.
1015.4 Performance. FOG disposal systems shall pro-
duce an effluent quality not to exceed 5.84 grains per gallon
(gr/gal) (100 mg/L) FOG in accordance with ASME
A112.14.6.
1016.0 Sand Interceptors.
A sand interceptor is a device designed and
installed to separate and retain deleterious, hazardous or
undesirable matter from normal wastes and permit normal
sewage or liquid wastes to discharge into the sewer by
gravity (see Figure 1016.0). The sand interceptor is often
used in garage or car wash installations to collect deposited
sand before entry to the public sewer. Multiple floor drains
are used and may drain to a single interceptor. The floor
drains from these installations need not be trapped as they
are not connected directly to the sanitary system and could
become plugged with accumulated sand.
1016.1 Discharge. Where the discharge of a fixture or
draM contain solids or semi -solids heavier than water that
would be harmful to a drainage system or cause a stoppage
within the system, the discharge shall be through a sand
interceptor. Multiple floor drains shall be permitted to dis-
arge into one sand interceptor.

Dear ROBYNN LANGLEY,
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
Jack Pace, Director
This letter is to inform you of corrections that must be addressed before your development permit can be approved. All
correction requests from each department must be addressed at the same time and reflected on your drawings. I have
enclosed comments from the following departments:
BUILDING - PG DEPARTMENT: Allen Johannessen at 206-433-7163 if you have questions regarding these
comments.
• (GENERAL INFORMATION NOTE)
PLAN SUBMITTALS: (Min. size 11x17 to a preferably maximum size of 24x36; all sheets shall be the same
size; larger sizes may be negotiable. "New revised" plan sheets shall be the same size sheets as those previously
submitted.)
"STAMP AND SIGNATURES" (If applicable) For Engineers: "Every page of a plan set must contain the
seal/stamp, signature of the licensee(s) who prepared or who had direct supervision over the preparation of the
work, and date of signature. Specifications that are prepared by or under the direct supervision of a licensee shall
contain the seal/stamp, signature of the licensee and the date of signature. If the "specifications" prepared by a
licensee are a portion of a bound specification document that contains specifications other than that of an
engineering or land surveying nature, the licensee need only seal/stamp that portion or portions of the documents
for which the licensee is responsible." It shall not be required to have each page of "specifications" (calculations) to
be stamped and signed; Front page only will be sufficient (WAC 196-23-010 & 196-23-020). Architects: "date"
only not required (WAC 308-12-081).
(BUILDING REVIEW NOTES)
1. Provide specifications or a design to accommodate vertical plumbing pipes from the potential differential
shrinkage or movements of the building. (IBC 2304.3.3)
Note: Contingent on response to these corrections, further plan review may request for additional corrections.
PW - PG DEPARTMENT: Joanna Spencer at 206-431-2440 if you have questions regarding these comments.
1) The current 2015 UPC no longer references the use of grease traps only grease interceptors (2015 UPC sec.
1014). Submit grease interceptor sizing calculations to determine the correct size.
2) Show grease interceptor location on plan and specify size/manufacturer/model no.
3) Submit grease interceptor specs and installation/maintenance manual.
4) The back page of your plumbing permit application lists 4 backflow prevention devises. On your plan please
provide a backflow table that will list:
a) all the proposed backflows
b) size/manufacturer/model no./location of each backflow and what they are protecting c) if there is a beverage
carbonator an RPPA is required as well.
5) Please explain cross -connection measures for the swimming pool.
6300 Southcenter Boulevard Suite #100 • Tukwila Washington 98188 • Phone 206-431-3670 • Fax 206-431-3665
. Please address the comments above in an itemized format with applicable revised plans, specifications, and/or other
documentation. The City requires that two (2) sets of revised plan pages, specifications and/or other documentation be
resubmitted with the appropriate revision block.
In order to better expedite your resubmittal, a 'Revision Submittal Sheet' must accompany every resubmittal. I have
enclosed one for your convenience. Corrections/revisions must be made in person and will not be accepted through the mail
or by a messenger service.
