Chicago's Code on Grease Traps - Plumbing Zone

SewerRatz · 07-15-2010, 10:41 PM

I lent out my code book and never did get it back. So I am wondering if I am recalling this right.

Any unit that is more than 3 stories or has more than 6 family units must have a grease trap.

Now the question is in a 50 unit condo is it required that each unit has an under sink trap?

If I posted the right phrasing I think they are still required. So you Chicago guys lets here what you got.

18-29-1003.3.1 Where required

Every multiple dwelling building with over 6 dwelling units (exclusive of townhouses), any commercial kitchen and where required by the department of sewers shall be provided with a grease interceptor or an outside catch basin for all kitchen waste.
