CASE STUDY
Zurn FOG-ceptor™ the
Perfect Ingredient for Florida
Restaurant Project
“The FOG-ceptor is
user friendly and extremely
easy to install. My guys
could do three units in
an 8 hour day!”
Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q has been a staple of mouth-watering food
throughout Florida since 1949. The key word in the name is “pit.”
The restaurant aims to provide “the most authentic traditional southern BBQ experience”
you could ever have. Its slogan is: “If you don’t see a pit, it ain’t legit.”
Recently a franchise location of Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q in Neptune Beach, FL, installed three
Z250H FOG-ceptor™ Interceptors, the ideal retrofit solution for demanding environments
where high-performance fats, oil and grease separators are needed.
The Zurn FOG-ceptor is a 250-gallon fiberglass interceptor rated at 100 gallons per
minute. Particularly suited for smaller food service industry applications, the FOG-ceptor is
delivered as a complete system for interior, above ground, or buried exterior applications.
Backed by a 30-year warranty, the Zurn FOG-ceptor arrives at the job site within 24 to 48
hours after an order is placed, designed to minimize any business disruption.
At Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q in Neptune Beach, the plumbing contractor is Doug’s Drains & More,
Inc., based in Atlantic Beach, FL. The owner, Doug Parsons, was impressed by the fact that
“the FOG-ceptor is user friendly and extremely easy to install. My guys could do three units
in an 8 hour day!”

Parsons also liked that the FOG-ceptor interceptors are lightweight.
“We easily moved and lowered them into place with our small
track hoe,” Parsons says. “Once we got the units into the hole, the
flow control and piping were easy to install. Inspection was called
in by lunch.”
The Zurn FOG-ceptor delivers the engineered benefits of fiberglass
reinforced polyester (FRP) construction for superior resistance
to corrosion, resulting in the lowest ongoing cost of operation
and maintenance requirements. It outlasts concrete interceptors,
providing superior performance with less maintenance. The smooth,
fiberglass construction enables fast, complete pump-outs and easy
rinse down — minimizing maintenance disruptions and saving the
customer both time and money.

The Zurn FOG-ceptor interceptor has the following credentials:
• PDI G-101 Certified
• ASME A112.14.3 Certified
• UPC and IPC Approved
The ease-of-installation at Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q was realized in other
ways, too.
“All the pieces were right where we needed them to be on the pallet
at the job,” Parsons says. “We were not waiting on risers to arrive a
week later. The risers are a huge plus with the FOG-ceptor. They are
not flimsy like others, but easy to cut to the proper height — and
the heavy duty covers just snap on.”
The contractor says his crew liked the fact that the Zurn FOG-ceptor
can go from a hydro-mechanical unit to a gravity unit just by
removing the flow control device.
“My guys have been impressed with the FOG-ceptor installation from
start to finish and the folks at Bono’s have already commented on
how easy the smooth sided units will be to clean,” Parsons says.
