9.10.13.13.(5)

Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt certain ducts from the requirements of Sentence 9.10.13.13.(1), which would otherwise require fire dampers to be installed, on the basis that:

  • the lack of dampers in this case will not contribute significantly to the spread of fire,
  • accidental closing of the dampers by the cooking operations would cause 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.
