GREASE TRAP SIZING
Grease Trap Sizing is determined by the total volume of water that will drain from a sink unit in one minute.
SIZE IN POUNDS = 1.50 x number of compartments x drain flow.
1.50 = 75% Water Volume of Sink x 2 (K Factor of Volume to Weight)
SIGNIFICANT NSF REQUIREMENTS FOR SINKS
• Drainboards, when provided, must have a splash and must be integrally welded to the sink.
• Drainboards are to be sized such as that the LEFT TO RIGHT dimension of the drainboard is equal to or greater
than the SMALLER DIMENSION OF THE SINK BOWL OPENING.
• Sinks are considered as FOOD ZONE. Therefore, ONLY 300 Series, 200 Series and Type 430 Stainless Steel
are the approved materials. (Type 400 & 409 Stainless Steel are not acceptable)

USE THE FOLLOWING FORMULA:
1. Calculate Cubic Area of Ice Liner - Multiply Length x Width x Depth x 1728 = Total Cubic Feet
(i.e, 12” x 12” x 12” ÷ 1728 = 1 Cu Ft.)
2. Cubed Ice = 40 Lbs. Per Cubic Foot.
3. Multiply Volume (Ice Liner Cubic Feet) x 40 Lbs./Cu Ft. = Total Weight
