Abstract
An assembly for connection to the drain of a cooking appliance which diverts low volume flow effluent from the drain is disclosed. The assembly includes a pipe defining a main flow channel. An auxiliary exit port is connected to the pipe in such a way that the low volume flow will be diverted from the pipe into the auxiliary exit port. A hot water entry pipe port is also connected to the pipe and is in connection with a hot water source which provides a flow of hot water into the pipe. Additionally, a solenoid valve regulates the flow of hot water into the pipe.
