Drain Lines to Bottom Line - Commonly Overlooked Best Plumbing Practices (Room Austin CC - 7)

Session will focus on fundamental, yet commonly overlooked, best plumbing practices implemented by elite restaurant facilities. Restaurants spend exorbitant amounts of capital on recurring drain line issues. Session will give participants the knowledge and tools necessary to virtually erase emergency drain calls. Session will also focus on the importance of maintaining proper temperature water throughout your kitchen facility and lavatories. Common practices near sinks can lead to irregular water temperatures throughout your facility, leaving the restaurant liable for possible scalding water burns and risks of contaminating dishware without hot water for sanitation. In conclusion, this session will educate participants on the necessity of proper indirect waste, “air gaps,” throughout their facility including dish area, prep area, behind the bar, and near fountain drink and ice machines. Proper indirect waste pipe installation will prevent endangering both your guests and employees.
