Explore plumbing code requirements for grease interceptors, including trap and vent specifications. Learn about AAV usage and the impact of boilerplate drawings. Ensure compliance with local codes.

Each year, open sewer manhole incidents lead to accidents including drowning, entrapment, and exposure to hazardous H2S gas, impacting the public and those in maintenance and food roles.

Deciding which cover type to use with your grease interceptor can be a confusing task. However, a few simple installation rules-of-thumb may help clear things up.

The new GB-1500 from Schier is the industry's first and only performance-certified 1,500-gallon grease interceptor, offering best-in-class grease capacity achieved by Schier Flow Technology™.

The GB-50 has been recertified to include a 75 GPM rating in addition to its existing 50 GPM rating. Read about how this product enhancement reinforces our commitment to right sizing.

The new Schier website includes more photos, videos, diagrams and prompts to help you find the exact grease interceptor products you need for your unique application.

Schier's enhanced specification suite and document “Spec Selector” tool helps grease interceptor specifiers find the exact documents for their plans with just a few clicks.

Schier's new website boasts deeper product education, easier access to engineering documentation and a world-class shopping and ecommerce experience.

Flow control devices restrict the flow entering a grease interceptor to be no greater than the maximum flow rate of the connected unit.

We are proud to announce that the redesigned GB-1000 is now the industry’s first and only 1,000-gallon grease interceptor that is dual certified as both a hydromechanical grease interceptor certified to ASME A112.14.3 / CSA B481.1 (Type D) and a gravity grease interceptor certified to IAPMO/ANSI Z1001.

Some jurisdictions require the use of an external sampling port as a means to inspect the quality of effluent water following a grease interceptor. If your project is in one of these jurisdictions, Schier’s SV10 Sewer Viewer™ is a best-in-class (and price) solution.
