I am looking at having an outdoor grease trap installed in a parking lot. The installation instructions specify a vent be installed at inlet and outlet, as well a recommend the vessel is vented. These vents would be 2".
This seems like a lot of vents since this will be installed with a manhole cover on top.
The parking lot is in front of the building. I've attached a photo of the area that we've excavated above the lateral where the interceptor would be installed.
My thought is to combine the vents into one 2" pipe and run it vertical next to the building. This is cleanest solution I can imagine. I don't like the idea of doing this right next to the building but we cannot leave an exposed pipe in a parking area / walkway.
1. If you were doing this would you just bring up the vent from the concrete or maybe do a very short stub and connect the rest of the vertical with a fernco? I'm worried this is going to get knocked and need repairs.
2. Would you bring this up next to the building OR a few inches out and use a hanger mounted on the wall? I don;t want to impede access to the masonry for future work.
