Internal hood joints, seams, penetrations, filter support frames and other appendages attached inside the hood shall not be required to be welded or brazed but shall be otherwise sealed to be grease tight.
Exceptions:
- Penetrations shall not be required to be welded or brazed where sealed by devices that are listed for the application.
