The one we purchased opened with one allen head bolt. After setting overnight, before water runs throw it in the morning, scoop the hardened grease off the top. I used a Styrofoam cup with one side cut to make a perfect scoop. After scooping, I ran hot soapy water through it a few minutes to help flush out the standing water.
Yes, using rubber couplings to join the PVC pipe to the trap will provide a strong seal and should give you many years of service. If the PVC pipe is over 4 ft. long or is located where someone may rest a foot on it, etc. then it would be best to support it to avoid stressing the coupling.
I utilized 2" rubber flexible connection between the tank connections and PVC piping.
I used a rubber adapter/reducer on the outlet to get the right diameter. I had the smaller trap, possibly 18" x 18". The inlet was done with the standard 1 ½ " sink draining into a 3" elbow connected to the trap. As long as the drain was a couple inches inside the elbow, overflow was never a problem. The rationale for the open elbow allows for air to flow as the liquid enters to avoid any type of vacuum effect fluid back-up. It has been several years, but I am pretty sure I ran a 2" outlet out and into a 4" main drain line. But I definitely remember using the rubber couplings. Hope this helps you.

It can sit above the floor or be buried. Either way, you must have access to the the top removal panel for cleaning.
