Dog Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I have just had a 5000 litre fosse installed to the new specification - it doesn't seem to have a grease trap can this be right.I am getting conflicting vague answers - such as the grease trap is in the fosse not separate or it isn't necessary - I am perplexed.

LesLauriers Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 A recent Devis for a 5000 litre fosse included a 500 litre grease trap and if you think about it logically - what happens to the grease if there is no trap!!It may be that it is a seperate unit but integral within the fosse, in which case you should have an inspection hatch and seperate pipework for water from sink, bath, washing machine etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radenac Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 When I had my soil test, I asked the man this same question. As far I can recall, a grease "Box" is only required if the fosse septique is more than 5 metres from the property (or is it 3 metres). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CFrost Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 From what I have read fitting a bac a graisses is not mandatory but advisable in terms of extending the periods between cleaning the fosse. Especially when when there is likely to be a fairly frequent or high volume of grease issuing from the kitchen (!) or the fosse is a long way from the house.
