Grease traps are installed in which locations?

• A. Residential bathrooms
• B. Restaurants and food service establishment
• C. Office buildings
• D. Power plants

Answer: (B)

Grease traps are designed to intercept fats, oils, and grease from kitchen wastewater before it enters the sewer. Because commercial kitchens produce a lot of FOG, these traps are installed in restaurants and other food-service establishments. The trap sits in the drainage line from sinks, dishwashers, and fry stations, sized for the kitchen’s flow and grease load, and must be accessible for regular cleaning. This setup prevents grease from solidifying in pipes, which leads to clogs, sewer backups, and code violations. They aren’t typically used in residential bathrooms or ordinary offices, and you wouldn’t normally install one in a power plant unless there’s a commercial kitchen involved.
