Z1184 SOLIDS INTERCEPTOR – OPERATION and MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SIZING
There are no sizing requirements for this interceptor except to specify
the inlet and outlet size. All units are made with a standard 2" [51 mm]
pipe size inlet and outlet, reduced to 1-1/2" [38 mm] with a bushing
when specified and are capable of handling drainage volumes standard
to their respective pipe size.
DESIGN
The Zurn Z1184 Solids Interceptor is designed to recover all types of
solids from precious metal particles to plaster, clay, or similar materials.
This is accomplished through the principal of gravity separation.
Particles of various sizes and weights are trapped in the bucket.
OPERATION
The wastewater flows from the inlet piping into the removable bucket,
passing through the screen, into the main body chamber, then exits
the interceptor to the sanitary drain system.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning should be done on a regular basis, either before or after the
bucket becomes clogged. First, remove the handle in the center of
the cover and drain out the water in the interceptor; replace handle.
Then unlatch and remove the cover/bucket assembly, twist and lift
the bucket to remove from cover, take out the screen and clean out
all debris. Replace the screen in the bucket. Next place the bucket
back on the cover and twist to reattach. Make certain the cover
gasket is intact and clean. Apply a light coating of oil on the cover
gasket, which helps prevent the cover gasket from adhering to the
cover and aids in maintaining a complete seal. The cover/bucket
assembly should then be placed back in the unit,
making sure the
screen in the bucket is on the outlet side as shown
, and relatch
to secure cover. Efficiency of operation is directly related to the level
of maintenance.
Note:
Damage from high-temperature water will not occur to the acid
resistant composite material of this unit when installed downstream
from a dishwasher. There is a chance, however, that the thin-walled
PVC screen in the bucket may deform. It is recommended that a
stainless steel perforated screen be used in applications that involve
high-temperature water.
Z1183-DF SOLIDS INTERCEPTOR with DISPOSABLE FILTER BAGS – OPERATION and MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SIZING
The sizing of this interceptor relates to the size of the Z1170 grease
interceptor it is being used with. All units are made with a standard
no-hub pipe size inlet and outlet, and are capable of handling drainage
volumes standard to their respective pipe size.
DESIGN
The Zurn Z1183-DF Solids Interceptor is designed to recover food
waste from sinks, garbage grinders, and dishwashers. This is
accomplished through filtration. The food wastes are retained in the
disposable filter bags while allowing wastewater to pass through to
the outlet drainage line.
OPERATION
The wastewater flows from the inlet piping into the main body chamber.
It is then redirected through the solids filter bags by the retainer plate.
Solid material is captured in the filter bag allowing the wastewater to
pass through. Any solids that pass through the filter bag will settle into
the removable sediment basket. The filtered wastewater then exits the
interceptor to the sanitary drain system.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning should be done on a regular basis, before the sediment
basket or filter bags become clogged. Remove the cover, lift out the
filter bags from the retainer plate and properly dispose of them.
Remove the retainer plate and sediment basket and clean out all
debris, hosing off the interior as necessary. Replace the basket and
retainer plate into the interceptor. Insert clean filter bags into the
retainer plate. Make certain cover gasket is intact and clean. Apply a
light coating of oil on the cover gasket, which helps prevent the cover
gasket from adhering to the body and aids in maintaining a complete
seal. The cover should then be placed back on the unit and secured.
Efficiency of operation is directly related to the level of maintenance.
