General Information:

Over one hundred thousand T&C HDPE and PP systems are already in use for many years, in all types of industrial, institutional and commercial applications. These polyolefin drainage, waste and vent (DWV) systems handle all types of hazardous (corrosive, toxic and flammable) wastes without failure. For the above reasons, many city and state plumbing codes specifically specify polyolefin interceptors, traps and separators for handling all types of "special wastes". Town & Country Plastics, Inc. is the leading producer of polyolefin interceptors, as well as many other inert plastic products (e.g., acid neutralizing tanks, large diameter pipe & fittings, chemical holding tanks, underground storage tanks, custom sinks, drains, etc.) for well over 37 years.

Two types of polyolefin interceptors are available from Town & Country Plastics: HDPE (high density polyethylene) traps for temperatures up to 180 degrees F continuous use/212 degrees F intermittent use and PP (polypropylene) traps for up to 212 degrees F continuous use. (HDPE units are also ideal for extremely cold installations.) In most cases, the HDPE traps will surpass performance requirements and PP traps will meet the severest requirements. In comparison, both HDPE and PP traps are superior to competitive traps made of cast-iron, steel or concrete. This is even true if the cast-iron, steel or concrete units have expensive coatings of epoxy, porcelain, enamel or bitumous. All T&C traps are totally "acid resistant," inside and out.

Function:

T&C polyolefin interceptors are designed to trap, intercept, filter out and separate greases, fats, soaps, oils, cheeses, waxes, and other light substances that can be trapped via "THE FLOTATION PROCESS." Most health and plumbing codes already require installation of such interceptors, wherever industry, institutions or commercial establishments expect to discharge the above deleterious waste material into the sanitary drainage piping. T&C interceptors help to prevent stoppages, corrosive attack and accumulation of flammable materials within the building piping system, as well as "over-loading" of nearby waste treatment facilities. With today's emphasis on environmntal pollution control and with the high cost of repairing piping systems, it makes sense to specify T&C interceptors to protect your environment and property. Ask about "Trap-Zap" bacteria for grease traps.

(Also ask about T&C sediment interceptors for trapping solid materials that may be discharged into your piping; ask for neutralization/dilution tanks for treating chemical bearing effluents.)

Constructed:

T&C standard grease and oil interceptors are rectagular in shape; they are flanged at the top and are shipped complete with appropriate threaded fittings, heavy-duty matching covers, Neoprene gasketing and tainless stell nuts, bolts and washers. Only virgin polyolefin materials are used to make T&C traps. All poltolefin materials used conform to ASTM material specifications D1248-70 for HDPE traps and D4101 for PP traps. (Both traps are made in white color; but PP fittings for PP traps are black in color and HDPE fittings for HDPE are yellow in color.) Pound units and other shapes also available. All units include appropriate flow restrictor fitting.

All standard T&C polyolefin interceptor bodies are rotationally molded and are seamless in construction. Custom sizes and shapes are fabricated, using the latest plastic welding techniques. Baffles (weir plates) are prepositioned and attached to the interior side plates of each interceptor by using this proven welding process. Covers and baffle assemblies are manufactured by T&C, using only the finest quality virgin sheeting available. all standard covers are designed for flush floor installations. Anti-skid strips available, at extra cost.

Standard threading fitting connections are easily adaptable to any existing or new drainage piping system. However, special adaptors can be ordered from T&C to tie into specific piping systems (e.g. cast iron piping, high-silicon cast iron piping, glass piping, clay piping, etc.), at additional cost. Special optional accessories are available, at additional cost, as follows: Special flow controls and restrictors, special covers, cascading and sloping interceptor bottoms, removable sediment baskets, draw-off valves and hose connections, venting connections, enzyme filling ports, single bolt securing of covers, anchoring lugs or flanges, seepage pans, clamping collars, thermometers, discharge effluent monitoring instrumentation, high level alarm, etc.
