Weatherproof Steel Fat Trap for Small Commercial Kitchens
Even compact kitchens require a reliable grease and fat management system. This 40 litre fat trap is engineered to handle smaller flow volumes, making it ideal for cafés, food trucks, small restaurants and prep areas using a single sink bowl or commercial dishwasher. Its epoxy-coated exterior ensures excellent resistance to rust, moisture and outdoor conditions.
Because it is a passive, gravity-fed system, this fat trap operates without power and has no moving parts. Wastewater flows through internal baffles, allowing it to cool and separate naturally. Fats, oils and grease are collected inside the trap while cleaner water exits safely through the outlet.
Why Choosing the Right Size Fat Trap Is Important
Selecting the correct fat trap capacity is crucial for maintaining an efficient drainage system. A trap that is too small can quickly become overloaded, causing slow drainage, foul odours and even sink backups. This 40 litre unit is perfectly suited to small-volume kitchens, offering effective retention without taking up excessive space.
For larger sinks or higher daily meal output, we recommend considering bigger units such as our 80 litre or 100 litre models for optimal performance.
Flexible Indoor, Outdoor or Underground Installation
Designed for maximum flexibility, this steel fat trap can be installed under a sink, positioned outdoors or buried underground depending on your layout. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for tight spaces, while the robust epoxy coating protects against weather exposure. A single bolt secures the lid, and the thick seal keeps odours fully contained.
If installed underground, the lid can be opened without needing to lift the unit—making routine cleaning far easier.
Underground & Outdoor Fat Trap Solutions
At The Grease Trap Store, we offer a full range of passive grease and fat traps suitable for indoor, outdoor and underground installation. Our epoxy-coated units are built to withstand the elements and provide dependable long-term performance in any setting. These traps help kitchen operators stay compliant with wastewater guidelines provided by UK water suppliers.
Cost-Effective FOG Management
A passive fat trap is one of the most affordable ways to manage FOG waste. Since it does not require power or expensive filter replacements, operating costs remain low. Once wastewater enters the trap, internal baffles guide the flow to encourage natural cooling and separation. FOG waste is stored safely in the main chamber until ready for removal.
Routine checks and periodic emptying are recommended, particularly during the first weeks of use. Outdoor fat traps do not include a syphon valve, so professional suction cleaning may be advisable for complete maintenance.
Fast Delivery & UK Compliance
These outdoor and underground fat traps are stocked and supported in the United Kingdom. We dispatch quickly via trusted delivery partners, and each unit complies with UK Building Regulations Part H (2.21). Every fat trap is backed by a five-year manufacturer defect warranty, offering peace of mind and long-term reliability for your kitchen.
