SOLIDS INTERCEPTORS
Z1180 SOLIDS INTERCEPTOR – OPERATION and MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SIZING
There are no sizing requirements for this interceptor except to specify
the inlet and outlet size. All units are made with a standard 2" [51 mm]
pipe size inlet and outlet, reduced to 1-1/2" [38 mm] with a bushing
when specified, and are capable of handling drainage volumes standard
to their respective pipe size.
DESIGN
The Zurn Z1180 Solids Interceptor is designed to recover all types of
solids from precious metal particles to plaster, clay, or similar materials.
This is accomplished through the principal of gravity separation.
Particles of various sizes and weights are trapped in the bucket.
OPERATION
The wastewater flows from the inlet piping into the removable bucket,
passing through the screen, into the main body chamber, then exits
the interceptor to the sanitary drain system.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning should be done on a regular basis, either before or after the
bucket becomes clogged. First unlatch and remove the cover/bucket
assembly, twist and lift the bucket to remove from cover, take out the
screen and clean out all debris. Replace the screen in the bucket,
next place the bucket back on the cover, twist to reattach. Make
certain cover gasket is intact and clean. Apply a light coating of oil on
the cover gasket, which helps prevent the cover gasket from adhering
to the cover and aids in maintaining a complete seal. The cover/
bucket assembly should then be placed back in the unit, making sure
the screen in the bucket is on the outlet side as shown, and relatch
to secure cover. Efficiency of operation is directly related to the level
of maintenance.

Note: Damage from high-temperature water will not occur to the acid
resistant composite material of this unit when installed downstream
from a dishwasher. There is a chance, however, that the thin-walled
PVC screen in the bucket may deform. It is recommended that a
stainless steel perforated screen be used in applications that involve
high-temperature water.
