Important information

Disclaimer

Important limits on cost estimates, calculator results and general planning information.

General information only

This site provides general education and preliminary budgeting about grease interceptors, traps and food-service FOG management. It does not design, approve, inspect, certify, repair or determine the suitability of real equipment or buildings.

No guaranteed prices

Examples and calculator outputs are broad planning estimates. They do not include every possible site condition, code requirement, tax, fee, product option or labour constraint.

Professional responsibility

Costs, codes, permits, inspection duties, accessibility rules, environmental requirements and insurance conditions vary by country, province or state, municipality, building use, equipment type, installation date and project scope. Qualified local professionals and the authority having jurisdiction must determine what applies. Grease interceptor requirements and sizing methods are often local. This site does not size equipment, approve plumbing, authorize discharge or recommend bypassing, additives or maintenance practices contrary to sewer, plumbing, environmental or health requirements.

Advertising disclosure
