24、d resources to the advancement of plumbing engineering and the plumbing industry.This Standard was developed with the assistance of PDI.For more than a century, grease interceptors have been used in plumbing wastewater systems to permit free flow ofdrainage from sinks and similar equipment and to pr
25、event grease accumulations from clogging connecting piping andsewer lines. In 1883, one Nathaniel T. Whiting of California applied for a patent on a grease trap, which was issued inOctober 1884. Whitings design principle does not differ greatly from present-day grease interceptors.Forthenext50years,

Ratings were determined by each manufacturer for its interceptors, which were produced in avariety of sizes and types in an effort to meet engineers specifications and satisfy code requiremen
