Passway™ How to Start Your System

Check the installation

Confirm the grease trap is level, stable and accessible and that the inlet and outlet pipework are correctly connected, supported and graded.

Check that all supplied internal components are installed in their correct positions and that the cover, seals, locking components and air-management parts are clean and undamaged.

Fill the grease trap with clean water

Fill the unit with clean water until the normal operating level is established and water flows through the outlet.

A grease trap should not begin normal kitchen operation empty following initial installation or a complete service.

Test the connected fixtures

Run clean water through the connected kitchen fixtures and confirm that flow through the inlet, chamber and outlet is unobstructed.

Inspect the body, pipe connections, cover seal and any riser or extension joint for leakage before normal kitchen use begins.

Reduce unnecessary FOG loading

• Scrape plates, utensils and cookware before washing.
• Collect bulk cooking oils and fats separately.
• Use sink strainers where appropriate.
• Keep excessive food solids out of the wastewater line.
• Do not rely on hot water or detergent to make bulk grease suitable for drain disposal.
