Frequently Asked Questions

How does a grease duct work?

A grease duct is a specialized exhaust pathway that captures and removes grease-laden vapors, smoke, and heat produced by commercial cooking equipment. Air is drawn through an exhaust hood above the cooking surface, travels through the grease duct—which is constructed of heavy-gauge steel to contain any grease fires—and is expelled outside the building by a rooftop exhaust fan. The system must be designed per NFPA 96 to prevent grease accumulation and reduce fire risk.
