A THERMACO® Technology
Section I: Trapzilla®Grease Interceptors
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
nes through efcient 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 in-
stalled on the oor, suspended from
the ceiling or in-ground outside the
facility.
Trapzilla Solids Interceptor units are designed to treat high ows 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 ows from sinks, oor drains,
woks and other food bearing sources may generate odors. There are many factors inuencing
odor evolution and dissemination. These include room ventilation, kitchen menu, ambient tem-
peratures, ware washing practices, grease/oil input, daily input uid volume, sanitizers, installation
plumbing design and product maintenance/upkeep. Odors are usually prevented by good area
ventilation, frequent uid inputs, good product maintenance practices and proper product instal-
lation. Additional steps, including aeration, chlorination, improved area ventilation and additional
maintenance control, may be needed at some sites.

Section III: TSS Installation
Plumbing Installation
Locating the Unit
The system should be visible and easily acces-
sible for maintenance and inspection. Options
are available to install Trapzilla Solids Separa-
tors 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
exible sleeve pipe couplings. Keep outlet
piping as straight as possible. Thermaco, Inc.
recommends installation of 4” (100 mm) Two-
Way 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 in-
ternal 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 situ-
ations where ow rate needs to be restriced to
75 GPM or when vented ow control is required
by local code.
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 siphon-
age 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, includ-
ing plumbing codes. Installation
should be performed by a qualied
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.

Plumbing Installation (for one Solids Separator)
Each Trapzilla Solids Separator is shipped with a Low Head Flow Control module (see LHFC
box for additional instructions). This needs to be installed to the inlet of the Trapzilla and con-
nected to a code-approved air intake. Thermaco, Inc. recommends installation of 4” (100 mm)
Two-Way Cleanouts on both the Inlet and Outlet of Trapzilla® Models TSS-70 and TSS-95 in
accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and codes. A Vent on the Outlet piping is also
to be installed in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and codes.

Above-Ground Installation
When installing multiple Trapzilla units in series, the change in elevation from the
inlet to the outlet of a unit requires that each preceeding unit be installed 1” higher
than the unit after it. For above-ground units, pressure treated plywood may be
placed fully beneath the support stand to create the height difference.
All installations inside of a building must have a vessel vent installed and
piped to atmosphere.

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 ECA-
TSS-29 may be trimmed in the eld to t. 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 ll 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.
In-Ground Installations inside of a building must have a vessel vent installed and piped
to atmosphere.
* Units using additional extension collars must use adapter lid and/or extension collars included
with unit.

Trimming and Setting the ECA-TSS-18 Single-Piece Extension Collar
In-Ground Trapzilla Models ship with a
built-in, single-piece, 18” extension col-
lar that must be trimmed and then set to
the correct height to bring the Solid Top
Cover to grade.
Follow the steps below to set the exten-
sion collar prior to backlling the hole
with concrete.
In-Ground Installation
Amount of extension collar needed to bring
Solid Top Cover to grade.
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 col-
lar 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.
Step 1: With the Trapzilla unit installed in its perma-
nent location, raise the telescoping extension collar to
nished grade or oor level. Measure the height from
the top of the unit to this nished extension collar height
and record this dimension.
Note: If the oor will have a tile covering alow for the tile
thickness when determining the extension collar height.

Step 5: Working from the bottom of the assembly, in-
stall eight (8) self-drilling, self-tapping screws (provided)
through the extension collar wall and into the adapter
ring. Two of these screws should be installed in each
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 en-
sure that they do not strip.
Step 6: Place the adapter ring/extension collar assem-
bly onto the Trapzilla unit. Position the small cover onto
the extension collar. Secure the adapter ring and the
small cover with the brass nuts and at washers provid-
ed. Seal the gap between the 18” extension collar and
extension collar adapter ring using a silicone sealant.
Step 3: Remove the extension collar from the adapter
ring and, with an appropriate saw, cut along the line cre-
ated in Step 2 to remove the excessive extension collar.
Step 4: Reinsert the extension collar into the adapter
ring ensuring that the cover alignment key on the ex-
tension collar is aligned with its recess in the adapter
ring. Reset the extension collar height to the dimension
determined in Step 1.
