Thermoplastic Grease Interceptor Canplas Low Profile 25 GPM 50 lb

Description

Product Overview

The Canplas 3925A02LO Thermoplastic Grease Interceptor is engineered to meet the demanding needs of high‑volume food‑service environments. Constructed from high‑grade thermoplastic, the unit resists corrosion, chemical exposure, and the harsh conditions typical of commercial kitchens. Its low‑profile housing measures 34.02 x 25.98 x 12.99 inches, allowing it to be installed beneath countertops, under workstations, or in tight utility spaces without sacrificing performance. With a flow capacity of 25 gallons per minute, the interceptor can handle the peak grease loads generated by busy dishwashing cycles, while its 50‑pound grease retention capacity ensures extended service intervals and reduced waste disposal costs.

Designed for simplicity, the interceptor features a removable grease collection cup, a secure lid with a gasket seal, and a clear inspection window that lets operators monitor grease buildup without opening the unit. The product dimensions and weight (22 pounds) make it easy to transport and position, while the robust construction guarantees a service life that exceeds industry expectations. The unit complies with relevant health and safety standards, providing peace of mind for restaurant owners and facility managers.

Usage

This grease interceptor is ideal for a wide range of commercial applications, including full‑service restaurants, fast‑food establishments, institutional cafeterias, and any operation that relies on high‑capacity dishwashers. It integrates seamlessly with existing plumbing configurations, connecting to the dishwasher’s discharge line to capture grease before it reaches the main sewer system. The low‑profile design ensures that the unit can be placed in confined spaces such as under prep tables, behind cooking lines, or within utility closets, making it a versatile solution for both new installations and retrofits.

In addition to restaurant settings, the interceptor performs well in catering facilities, hotel kitchens, and food‑processing plants where large volumes of hot water and grease are common. Its ability to handle 25 GPM means it can accommodate multiple dishwashers operating simultaneously, while the 50‑lb grease capacity reduces the frequency of emptying, minimizing labor and downtime. The unit’s easy‑access service ports allow maintenance staff to perform routine cleaning and inspection quickly, ensuring consistent performance and compliance with local environmental regulations.

FAQ

What size of plumbing connection does the interceptor require?

The unit is designed for standard 2‑inch discharge lines, which are common in most commercial dishwasher installations. Adaptors are available if a different pipe size is needed.

How often should the grease collection cup be emptied?

Service intervals depend on usage intensity, but most facilities find that emptying the cup every 2‑4 weeks maintains optimal performance and prevents overflow.

Can the interceptor be installed outdoors?

While the unit is built to withstand harsh conditions, it is recommended for indoor installation to protect the thermoplastic material from direct UV exposure and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Is the interceptor compatible with both high‑temperature and low‑temperature dishwashers?

Yes, the thermoplastic material is rated for a wide temperature range, making the interceptor suitable for both high‑temperature commercial machines and low‑temperature energy‑saving models.

What maintenance steps are required to keep the interceptor operating efficiently?

Regular maintenance includes inspecting the grease level through the viewing window, cleaning the collection cup, checking the gasket seal for wear, and flushing the unit with hot water to remove residual grease buildup.
