Abstract

A solids interceptor and methods of using the same. The solids interceptor includes a tank including an open end, a wastewater inlet, and one or more wastewater outlets. A basket assembly is removably attachable to the tank via the open end between an operable position and a removed position. The basket assembly may seal the open end when in the operable position and expose the open end of the tank to a surrounding environment when in the removed position. A first and second outlet may extend away from an interior of the tank in a first and direction, respectively, with the second direction being oriented at an angle with respect to the first direction. The basket assembly may include a seal that is compressed about a circumferentially extending corner provided on the tank to thereby seal the open end of the tank and the plumbing system.
