Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Testing Requirements
COMMERCIAL KITCHEN VENTILATION TESTING REQUIREMENTS CALL FIRE MARSHAL/FIRE SUB CODE OFFICIAL AT 908-454-6121 EXT 360 TO SCHEDULE ACCEPTANCE TESTING IMC 506.3.2.5 GREASE DUCT TEST Prior to the use or concealment of any portion of grease duct system, a leakage test shall be performed in the presence of the Fire Inspector. Ducts shall be considered to be concealed where installed in shafts or covered by coatings or wraps that prevent the ductwork from being visually inspected on ALL sides. The permit holder shall be responsible to provide the necessary equipment and perform the grease duct leakage test. A light test or approved equivalent test method shall be performed to determine that all welded and brazed joints are liquid tight. A light test shall be performed by passing a lamp having a power rating of not less than 100 watts (or 1500 lumens for energy efficient bulb types) through the entire section of duct work to be tested. The lamp shall be open so as to emit light equally in all directions perpendicular to the duct walls. At test shall be performed for the entire duct system, including the hood-to-duct connection. The ductwork shall be permitted to be testing in sections, provided that every joint is tested. IMC 507.16 PERFORMANCE TEST A performance test shall be conducted upon completion and before final approval of installation of a ventilation system serving commercial cooking appliances. The test shall verify the rate of exhaust airflow required by Section 507.13, makeup airflow required by Section 508, and proper operation as specified in this chapter the permit holder shall furnish the necessary test equipment and devices required to perform the tests. -

Significant Changes to the March 2017 International Mechanical Code
Significant Changes to the March 2017 International Mechanical Code State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services Division of Construction Services Office of Education and Data Management Office of Education and Data Management Spring 2017 Career Development Series Significant Changes to the International Mechanical Code Presented by John Tye Office of the State Building Inspector, DAS “2012” International Mechanical Code Update The following presentation contains “significant” code changes which took place in the International Mechanical Code from 2003 through 2012. Office of Education 2 and Data Management Office of Education and Data Management 1 Significant Changes to the March 2017 International Mechanical Code IMC update 2012 Many code changes have taken place in the IMC since 2003. This seminar will only be able to identify a small number of these changes. Confusion still exists between proper code use such as the IRC versus the IMC for fuel gas installations. The IMC does not address gas or gas related equipment. Office of Education 3 and Data Management IMC update (continued) The IRC uses both its Chapter 24(based on the IFGC) and the 2012 NFPA 54 document for gas piping and equipment installations. The Ct. supplement to the IRC includes the NFPA 54 document. Section 101.4.1 (Add) As I stated in the previous slide the IMC references the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) (member of the ICC family of codes). The State of Connecticut did not adopt the IFCG and instead references the NFPA 54 document, currently the 2012 edition for gas piping and equipment installations. Office of Education 4 and Data Management Office of Education and Data Management 2 Significant Changes to the March 2017 International Mechanical Code IMC update (continued) Any reference to the IFGC in either the IMC or IRC shall be considered a reference to NFPA 54, NFPA 2, and NFPA 58. -

Duct Fire Protection Products
23 07 00/THE Duct Fire Protection Products BuyLine 8880 Thermal Ceramics, a global manufacturer of high temperature insulation prod- ucts, has provided engineered solutions for heat containment problems for over 75 years, and was the first to develop flexible fire resistive duct enclosures, mar- keted under the brandname of FireMaster®, for commercial kitchen grease and air ventilation ducts. Unlike imitation wraps in today’s market, Thermal Ceramics has the widest range of duct enclosure products that are performance-tested beyond minimum laboratory listings or code requirements. This assures fire con- tainment, from the typical to the most complex duct designs, without theorizing. Thermal Ceramics innovative duct products are high temperature (2000°F) fire rated solutions that do not age, become brittle, or shrink during in-service opera- tions, like lower temperature mineral wool wraps. The duct products in the FireMaster line are resistant to mold growth in test conditions of 75-95% relative humidity (ASTM D6329). With zero flame and smoke ratings on the blanket, and only a 5 flame spread and 10 smoke rating on the foil encapsulation, Thermal Ceramics duct products do not add toxic emissions to fire conditions. With a vast number of field installations worldwide and over 20 years of successful fire con- tainment in real-world fires, the duct products in the FireMaster line have proven their worth.

A commercial kitchen grease duct serving a Type I hood that penetrates a ceiling, wall, floor or any concealed spaces shall be enclosed from the point of penetration to the outlet terminal. In-line exhaust fans not located outdoors shall be enclosed as required for grease ducts. A duct shall penetrate exterior walls only at locations where unprotected openings are permitted by the International Building Code. The duct enclosure shall serve a single grease duct and shall not contain other ducts, piping or wiring systems. Duct enclosures shall be either a shaft enclosure in accordance with Section 506.3.11.1, a field-ap- plied enclosure assembly in accordance with 506.3.11.2 or a factory-built enclosure assembly in accordance with Section 506.3.11.3. Duct enclosures shall have a fire-resistance rating of not less than that of the assembly pen- etrated and not less than 1 hour. Fire dampers and smoke dampers shall not be installed in grease ducts. Duct enclosures shall be as prescribed by Section 506.3.11.1, 506.3.11.2 or 506.3.11.3. 506.3.11.4 Duct enclosure not required.
