OK plumbers, I'm on Chapter 10 in IPC which is Traps, Interceptors, & Separators. What I'm looking and asking for is a definition or difference between the three. I know the trap answer. Please explain it to me as if I'm a 6 year old. Thank you gentlemen.

Hi Dylan,
interceptors and separators are basically the same thing and have multiple types, for example grease traps in resturant kitchens, or gravel seperators as used in car wash drains. They are basically there to seperate water that can safely flow back into the waste system from anything that requires further specialised treatment.

So a grease trap is technically a separator right? I'm surfing for some decent images with flow in diagrams.

Actually a septic tank is also a separator when you think about it Gerry "To realize our true destiny, we must be guided not by a myth from our past, but by a vision of our future."

That one works Gerry, sweet. So most collection methods are going to be third party then? Obviously we can't be allowing the chemicals to enter the municipal drain.

Dental clinics and hospitals often have separators in use.

Thank you gentlemen. I just got out of class and can honestly say I grasp this completely now. In fact, if there are any questions you guys have, ask me while its fresh.
