Contents in gallons: 13,624/281 = 59.8 gallons 3 Determine actual drainage load. The fiture is normally ‘Actual drainage load 0.75 x 59.8 = 449 gallons filled to about 75% of capacity wih water. The tems being ‘washed displace about 25% ofthe ture content, thus actual crainage lad = 75% of fature capac 4 Determine flowrate and drainage perlod.

The selections listed are based on the sizing formula Covered in Table A1.3. 1.5 Dishwashers ‘A separate grease interceptor is recommended foreach commercial dishwasher. The size ofthe interceptor is determined by the GPM lscharge rate ofthe dishwasher as spactied by the manufacturer. Select proper interceptor of equivalent or next higher rate from Table At.2.
