Lint Interceptors LI-800 & LI-LT Series
Function
Watts LI-800 Series interceptors and LI-LT Series lint troughs are specified for
installation downstream of commercial washers in laundromats, hotels, medical and
other facilities performing commercial washing. The LI-800 and LI-LT separate both
light solid and floating debris.
LI-800 Series Sizing
LI-800 lint interceptors are typically sized according to the number of washing
machines serviced.
LI-800 Series Placement & Installation
LI-800 lint interceptors are installed downstream of commercial washing machines.
They can be installed on the floor or recessed in a minimum 4" concrete slab. Re-
cessed installations may require an extension to meet the below grade piping (see
Extensions).
LI-800 Series interceptors are supplied with IPS piping connections on the inlet and
outlet side. Connections can be made with IPS nipples (by others) corresponding to
the interceptor's connection size. Washing machines should be trapped prior to the
interceptor, or alternatively, a trap can be formed with piping on the outlet side of
the interceptor.
LI-800 Series Maintenance
Cleaning should be performed regularly to avoid the filter screens becoming
clogged and maintain the efficiency of the interceptor. The required frequency of
cleaning is dependent upon the volume of incoming debris.
To clean the interceptor, remove the bolts securing the top cover and remove the
cover. Collect and remove any large debris that has settled at the bottom of the first
chamber. Remove the screens and clean any accumulated lint from the screens
and the inside of the interceptor. Replace the screens. Inspect the cover gasket for
damage and potential leak points. Reinstall and bolt down the cover.
