Grease Trap/Interceptor Sizing Tool

Part 1: Determining Maximum Potential Flow Rate

In the fields below, add the length, width, and height of each sink compartment in inches. Add a compartment by pressing the "+ Add Compartment" button. A 3-compartment sink requires a different line for each compartment or bowl.

Sink Compartments Add a Sink Compartment for each separate compartment in each sink. For example, for a 3-compartment sink, add three compartments and put the dimensions of each compartment into the fields for length, width, and height. If you have another sink, add additional compartments for this sink and type in the measurements as well.	Length	Width	Height
