Fresh, Clean air is the life blood of every kitchen. It’s easy enough to watch a hood capture smoke and grease from a kitchen, or to go up on the roof and see the exhaust fans pulling that same air out of the kitchen, but what happens in between? Ducts play a vital role in safely getting grease laden exhaust out of the kitchen. Specifying and purchasing engineered, fire-rated, zero-clearance grease duct ensures a safe, code compliant, and easy to install system that offers cost savings and superior performance when compared to field fabricated duct. |
Grease duct often bridges the food service and mechanical disciplines. Many food service consultants prefer to provide the duct collar locations and let the project engineer handle the duct routing and specifications. Often these specifications end up including every possible situation from NFPA-96 that a contractor might run into – different clearances for different combustibles, fire-wrapping where applicable, cleanouts for changes in directions… the list goes on. Additionally, engineers often specify welded ducts with fire-wrapping for the entire project. This is easy to understand given the sometimes limited availability of information, unknown site conditions, dimensions, or ever changing project plans. No one wants their work invalidated down the road because decisions were made outside of their control. Key Benefits of Using Engineered Factory Fabricated Grease Duct
