good evening everyone, i was hoping for some advise on grease trap installation. i currently have a 3 compartment sink in which all sinks drain in to a floor drain in which is connected to a grease trap on a lower level. I need to relocate a new trap at the sink (source). I have a few questions here, first when the old trap is removed can i simply tie the 2 lines together, next i have enclosed a picture of the sink and if you notice that all 3 sinks are plumbed over to a floor drain and just drain from mid air to the floor? something just doesn't seem right lol. when i install the grease trap, doesn't the trap need to be tied into the floor conduit? i mean surely it cant just dump out of a grease trap, can it?. Now for the traps, vents, flow control ect. most of the grease traps i have been looking at claim to have flow control,and vents built in to them. Does this mean there is no need for them? I am by no means a plumber but i do build under ground pipe systems, i am very well rounded and confident this is a simple job, just never done it before................... any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, James
