Intent 1:
To exempt certain ducts from the application of Sentence 3.1.8.7.(1), which would otherwise require fire dampers, on
the basis that:
- the lack of fire dampers in this case will not lead
to significant spread of fire,
- accidental closing of the fire dampers by the cooking
operations would lead to an undue hardship to the operations, and
- the fire dampers and their operating parts could collect
grease, be very difficult to clean, and add to the fire hazard.
