Grease Interceptor 

FEATURES 

Wade 5000-5100 series interceptors are PDI (Plumbing & Drainage Institute) certified. All are 
equipped with a one-piece cover secured with machine screws. A soft elastomeric gasket is 
attached to the body of the interceptor to prevent odor from escaping. An air relief is provided to 
eliminate siphonage and each unit is furnished with a flow control device to insure it will perform to 
its rated capacity. 

OPERATION 

Waste water draining to the interceptor passes through the flow control device which regulates the 
velocity to a controlled rate. As water enters the interceptor, the baffle arrangement reduces 
turbulence to allow efficient separation. The grease, as separation occurs, floats to the top and is 
accumulated. The waste water, relieved of contaminates, continues to flow through the trap and into 
the drainage system. See diagram.
