Ensure that any operatives or employees that attend to the
grease interceptor are adequately protected. As a minimum

mask are provided and used.
Where a third party contractor or service is responsible

that their own protective practices and procedures are
maintained and followed, but that they also protect those

Air Balanced Operation:
Endura® XL is designed to function based on a balance air environment.
During the maintenance of your interceptor, it is important to check
that the breather hole in the outlet vent (see diagram) is unobstructed.
The smallest restriction can drastically impact the performance of your
interceptor and can cause the accumulated contents of the interceptor
to be discharged to the downstream drain system particularly if
access/breather cap must be relocated upward as close as possible to
the underside of the cover to maintain its function.
IF YOU DO NOT SEE A GREY CAP ON TOP
OF THE OUTLET SYSTEM, CONTACT YOUR
INSTALLER/MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR
IMMEDIATELY AND IF NECESSARY
PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT.
