The UL 300 code went into effect in Nov, 1994. That was after is was delayed from the original date of 1991. So this guy could not put $500 in savings each year since 1994? Besides, most new systems we install are way less than $7500. about 1/2. CAnyou tell I am not very sympathetic?

Whats funny they keep updating regulations on the fire suppression systems but doing nothing about the fuel source that needs to be removed at most times more often then they require or the customer will let you.So why is our state officals not regulating the systems grease removalin the exhaust system?

Most codes and regs are driven by the mfg of stuff.

I don't know 'grease' about grease but is there any regulations at all that speak on when a hood should be cleaned? Grease build up depth?...just curious!

And now introducing ,,,,,,,,,,,, the IKECA comb.... Somebody's answer to the latest revision on grease build-up and when it should be cleaned. Supposedly the brainchild of a BK guy.

The thing is we got all the foundations and whens to clean these hood systems but our inspectors,at least in our area for the most part,dont regulate the system cleaning i still run into plenty of places not being cleaned properly,also new places with bends in the duct work and no access,why? Or the problem also the customer uses you to catch the system up then go back to the cheap one or just doesnt clean it for years until an inspector decides to accually look in the system in my experiance about 5 years of neglect before they catch it.That is in my opinion the biggest problem the inspectors just eather dont know how or what to look for or just dont care.I showed pics of inspection to the head fire marshal and they sent the inspector back out to reispect and the result is the same.Whats funny this place i am talking about is chinese and they said that they are not required to clean it but every 2 years.Explain that,lol.I dont knw what to do but i am in the works of figuring it out thats for sure,i will let you all know when i get the answer i am looking for.

Walk away and let the place burn down!!! Then maybe they will figure it out!! It will take a few more deaths before they get serious about a real solution
