Approved designs
Although you will need a trade waste agreement with your local water authority to discharge trade waste to sewer, not every type of trade waste tank needs to be made to an approved design. However, this is not the case with grease traps. Water authorities throughout Australia have stipulated specific design specifications for grease traps used in their area. Designs do vary from region to region.
Viking Plastics’ grease traps are approved in virtually all regions of Australia. We will supply the correctly designed grease trap for your particular locality.
