ABSTRACT:
A system for separating and retaining liquid with different specific gravities and floatables includes a hood made of plastic and mounted to cover an outlet pipe of a basin receiving the liquid. The hood is formed with a housing dividing the basin into an inlet chamber and outlet chamber and preventing supernatant liquids with a lower specific gravity, floatables accumulated on the surface of a liquid with a higher specific gravity and solids accumulated in the basin from being drawn downstream into the outlet pipe. The hood is further provided with a device equalizing air pressure between the inlet and outlet compartments. A flow restrictor is incorporated in one embodiment to regulate the discharge of liquid from the basin.
