Choosing a Grease Trap: 4 Kitchen Interceptors From $62 to $269.95

Compare four new grease traps and interceptors - an OEM Accurex assembly, a Dayton ventilator collector, a 50L under-sink separator, and a 4 GPM steel unit - across listed prices and use cases.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

When you're sorting out warewashing sanitation grease capture, the first decision is location. Do you need a replacement component inside an existing ventilator system, or an interceptor under a sink that separates oil from water before it reaches the drain? These four products cover both sides of that problem, and each is listed as a new unit.

Quick take

  • Accurex 475538 for a component-level replacement without absorber.
  • Dayton 48C174 for ventilator-side grease collection.
  • 50L interceptor for under-sink oil-water separation.
  • 8lb steel interceptor for a higher-flow steel unit.

Product notes

Accurex Assembly, Grease Trap Without Absorber 475538

Accurex Assembly,Grease Trap Without Absorber 475538 - Genuine OEM Replacement

The Accurex 475538 is a new grease trap assembly without an absorber, listed at $79.99. It comes with model number 475538 and a US country of origin, and the product name identifies it as a genuine OEM replacement. It is aimed at professional settings including medical, lab, and dental applications. That makes it a component-level choice: if you already have an Accurex system that needs a replacement part, this is the model-specific unit. The limitation is that it is a component rather than a standalone separator, and it arrives without an absorber, so it won't handle the full oil-water separation job on its own.

Dayton 48C174 Grease Trap Collector Box

Dayton 48C174 Grease Trap Collector Box for Upblast Roof Ventilators

The Dayton 48C174 is the lowest listed price in this group at $62. It's a grease collector box made for upblast roof ventilator systems, meaning it handles grease on the exhaust side rather than the drain side. For a restaurant or food-service kitchen with an upblast roof ventilator, this is the focused replacement part: a new unit in quantity 1. The limitation is that it won't do the job of an under-sink oil-water interceptor. If your need is on the wastewater line rather than the ventilator, this collector box is not the right category.

50L Grease Trap Interceptor Oil-water Separator

50L Grease Trap Interceptor Oil-water Separator Restaurant Kitchen Under Sink

The 50L plastic interceptor is listed at $70.15 and is the under-sink/freestanding option in this set. It has a 50L/13.21gal capacity, a listed flow rate of 2.1 t/h (4,629.71 lbs/h), and the package includes a drainage pipe, sealing ring, and a pair of gloves. The plastic construction makes it lighter than the steel option, but the trade-off is material. It also has a 4.5cm inlet and 3cm outlet, so your existing drain connections need to match those sizes. For an under-sink separation setup with a large tank, this is the direct fit.

8lb Commercial Steel Grease Trap Interceptor

8lb Commercial Steel Grease Trap Interceptor - 4 GPM, PDI Approved

The 8lb steel interceptor is the highest listed price in the group at $269.95. It is the only unit here with a stated flow rate of 4 GPM and the only one whose product name includes PDI approval. The unit is built from commercial carbon steel with an 8 lbs capacity and a 17-by-11-inch footprint. If a faster flow rate and steel construction are your priorities, this is the unit that matches. The limitation is budget: $269.95 is $207.95 above the lowest listed item in this comparison. It's a bigger investment for a higher-flow steel interceptor.

Final recommendation by use case

  • For under-sink oil-water separation with a large tank, start with the 50L interceptor because its listed package includes the separator, drainage pipe, sealing ring, and gloves.
  • For a direct replacement inside an existing Accurex system, the 475538 assembly is the model-specific component to compare.
  • For ventilator-side grease collection, the Dayton 48C174 is the purpose-built collector for that exhaust-side job.
  • For a higher-flow steel interceptor, the 8lb commercial unit is the one to weigh.
