Section I: Trapzilla® Grease Interceptors
A THERMACO® Technology
System Overview
Thermaco, Inc. also offers the TSS
Trapzilla Solids Separator that traps
incidental kitchen solids upstream of
the Trapzilla Grease Interceptor.
The proper installation of a Trapzilla®
Supercapacity Solids Separators can
reduce or eliminate solids problems
and costly sewer surcharges and
fines through efficient separation and
retention of incidental solids.
The unique compact design of the
Trapzilla allows for installation into
most facilities. Options are available
that enable a Trapzilla unit to be installed on the floor, suspended from
the ceiling or in-ground outside the
facility.
Trapzilla Solids Interceptor units are designed to treat high flows of kitchen drainwater with large
solids storage capacity within a small footprint unit. These units are easy to manueuver into
position and just as easy to plumb.
Grease interceptors, grease traps, automatic recovery units, grease removal devices, solids
separators and other similar plumbing devices receiving kitchen flows from sinks, floor drains,
woks and other food bearing sources may generate odors. There are many factors influencing
odor evolution and dissemination. These include room ventilation, kitchen menu, ambient temperatures, ware washing practices, grease/oil input, daily input fluid volume, sanitizers, installation
plumbing design and product maintenance/upkeep. Odors are usually prevented by good area
ventilation, frequent fluid inputs, good product maintenance practices and proper product installation. Additional steps, including aeration, chlorination, improved area ventilation and additional
maintenance control, may be needed at some sites.

Section III: TSS Installation
A THERMACO® Technology
Locating the Unit
The system should be visible and easily accessible for maintenance and inspection. Options
are available to install Trapzilla Solids Separators in a basement, suspended from a ceiling
or in-ground in an exterior location. Make sure
adequate room is provided around the unit to
allow easy access for a pump truck operator.
Make sure the height above the Trapzilla access
cover is enough to properly service the system.
Inlet/Outlet Piping
The inlet and outlet piping connections require
flexible sleeve pipe couplings. Keep outlet
piping as straight as possible. Thermaco, Inc.
recommends installation of 4” (100 mm) TwoWay Cleanouts on both the Inlet and Outlet of
Trapzilla Interceptors and Solids Separators in
accordance with all applicable laws, regulations
and codes. Use only “sweep” connections. Do
not reduce the pipe sizing on the outlet piping.
Do not install “P” trap on outlet connection of
system. (Note: The system already has a internal gas trap)
Flow Controls
Trapzilla systems are supplied with a Low-Head
Flow Control module (LHFC-4). This should be
connected to the inlet of the Trapzilla unit in situations where flow rate needs to be restriced to
75 GPM or when vented flow control is required
by local code.
Plumbing Installation
Venting the Outlet
An outlet vent or approved air admittance valve
of at least 1/2 the diameter of the system’s outlet
connection must be present as close as possible
to the Trapzilla outlet to prevent possible siphonage problems. The Vent on the Outlet piping is
to be installed in accordance with all applicable
laws, regulations and codes. Failure to provide
a vent for the system voids Thermaco’s Limited
Warranty for the system.
For High Head Height Applications
Over Six (6) Feet (1.95 m)
For installations where there is head height of
greater than 6 feet (1.95 meters), Thermaco,
Inc. recommends installation of a code-approved
Vented Flow Control Assembly.
Note: Drawings for reference only.
Equipment must be installed in
compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations and codes, including plumbing codes. Installation
should be performed by a qualified
plumber.

Venting of the Trapzilla tank is recommended by the manufacturer and required for
in-door installations.
•Vent the tank through the provided 2” NPT threaded connector on the side of the tank
(This vent may be located above the outlet or on the side of the tank depending on
model).
•Remove and discard the 2” plug and connect 2” vent lines as indicated below.

In-Ground Installation
Trapzilla units may also be installed in the ground outside of the facility. For instances where the
facility drainage piping requires an extension collar that is no more than 18”, use the instructions
for the full TSS-95-ECA unit. If the unit is to be deeper in the ground, the ECA-TSS-29 Extension
Collar Assembly may be installed to align the Trapzilla inlet with the drainage piping. The ECATSS-29 may be trimmed in the field to fit. Trim both the inner and outer portions of the extension
collar to make shorter than collapsed height. Thermaco, Inc. also recommends embedding the
in-ground Trapzilla with concrete to provide additional structural strength and to off set buoyancy
effects. For Buoyancy Calculations & suggested concrete fill quantities please see the following
page. Use the full TSS-95-ECA for 0-18” of collar needed or purchase separately the TSS-95
and ECA-TSS-29 for 5-29” of collar needed.

Trimming and Setting the ECA-TSS-18 Single-Piece Extension Collar

built-in, single-piece, 18” extension collar that must be trimmed and then set to
the correct height to bring the Solid Top
Cover to grade.
Amount of extension collar needed to bring
Solid Top Cover to grade.
Follow the steps below to set the extension collar prior to backfilling the hole
with concrete.
Step 1: With the Trapzilla unit installed in its permanent location, raise the telescoping extension collar to
finished grade or floor level. Measure the height from
the top of the unit to this finished extension collar height
and record this dimension.
Note: If the floor will have a tile covering alow for the tile
thickness when determining the extension collar height.
Step 2: Remove the extension collar adapter ring from
the unit with the extension collar still in place. On the
underside of the cover, mark the excess extension collar length at the bottom of the four (4) “skirt” portions
of the adapter ring. Check the extension collar height
dimension frequently during this marking to ensure that
the collar has not moved. Extend this mark between the
gaps in the “skirt” so that the collar is marked all around.
Mark excess extension collar length
at the four (4) "skirt" portions of
the adapter ring.

Step 5: Working from the bottom of the assembly, install eight (8) self-drilling, self-tapping screws (provided)
through the extension collar wall and into the adapter

of the four (4) skirt areas of the adapter ring. Check
the extension collar height dimension frequently during
this operation to ensure that the collar has not moved.
Note: Use caution when tightening these screws to ensure that they do not strip.

Measuring Solids Levels
Trapzilla Solids Separators are capable of retaining high quantities of solids in a compact footprint. To determine the current levels of solids in your Trapzilla Solids Separator, follow the
instructions below.
1. Remove four nuts/washers securing the Solid Top Cover. Note the size of the unit which is
marked on the cover by a metal plate.
2. Place a grease/sludge dipstick into the center of the unit, making sure that it goes all the
way to the bottom.
3. Once the dipstick has found its natural resting place at the lowest point in the conical
shaped bottom, take the measurement.
4. Remove dipstick and compare sludge levels to the corresponding unit in the charts below.

Pumping TSS
Periodically, the Trapzilla® Solids Separator will need to
be serviced which involves pumping out the accumulated
grease & solids. Each lid has four brass nuts securing the
lid. Fully remove the 22” lid to access the solids. Begin
by taking the solids from the top of the tank. Be sure to
lower the hose all the way to the bottom of the Trapzilla
unit so that solids may be entirely removed.
The Grease or Solids building up inside the Trapzilla unit
may be gauged using a Sludge Judge or similar device.
Note:
1) Do NOT use mechanical crust breaking devices to break down any mat that has formed
inside the Trapzilla Solids Separator.
2) Remove the four brass nuts from the bolts and fully remove the lid to pump out.
3) It is not necessary to remove adapter lid (ring) to pump out the Trapzilla Solids Separator.
Drop hose into Solids Separator, pumping
out all liquids and solids in the unit.
It may be necessary to use water hose to
rinse out chamber.
