510.5 Other Grease Ducts
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Other grease ducts shall comply with the requirements of Section 510.5.1 through Section 510.5.5. [NFPA 96:7.5]
Ducts shall be constructed of and supported by carbon steel not less than 0.060 of an inch (1.524 mm) (No. 16 MSG) in thickness or stainless steel not less than 0.048 of an inch (1.219 mm) (No. 18 MSG) in thickness. [NFPA 96:7.5.1.1]
Factory-built grease ducts listed in accordance with UL 1978 shall be permitted to use materials in accordance with their listing. [NFPA 96:7.5.1.2]
Seams, joints, penetrations, and duct-to-hood collar connections shall have a liquid-tight continuous external weld. [NFPA 96:7.5.2.1]

PERMITTED DUCT-TO HOOD COLLAR CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 75.2.2]
Exceptions:
- Factory-built grease duct listed in accordance with UL 1978 shall be permitted to incorporate non-welded joint construction in accordance with their listing. [NFPA 96:7.5.2.1.1]
- Duct-to-hood collar connections as shown in Figure 510.5.3 shall not require a liquid-tight continuous external weld. [NFPA 96:7.5.2.2]
- Penetrations shall be permitted to be sealed by other listed devices that are tested to be greasetight and are evaluated under the same conditions of fire severity as the hood or enclosure of listed grease extractors and whose presence does not detract from the hood or the duct's structural integrity. [NFPA 96:7.5.2.3]
- Internal welding shall be permitted, provided the joint is formed or ground smooth and is readily accessible for inspection. [NFPA 96:7.5.2.4]
For SI units: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, °C = (°F—32)/1.8
PERMITTED DUCT-TO HOOD COLLAR CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 75.2.2]
Prior to the use of or concealment of a portion of a grease duct system, a leakage test shall be performed to determine that all welded joints and seams are liquid tight. [NFPA 96:7.5.2.1.2]
Duct-to-duct connection shall be as follows:
FIGURE 510.5.3.2(1)
TELESCOPING -TYPE DUCT CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 7.5.5.1(a)]
FIGURE 510.5.3.2(2)
BELL-TYPE DUCT CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 7.5.5.1(b)]
FIGURE 510.5.3.2(3)
FLANGE WITH EDGE WELD DUCT CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 7.5.5.1(c)]
FIGURE 510.5.3.2(4)
FLANGE WITH FILLED WELD DUCT CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 7.5.5.1(d)]
- Telescoping joint, as shown in Figure 510.5.3.2(1).
- Bell-type joint, as shown in Figure 510.5.3.2(2).
- Flange with edge weld, as shown in Figure 510.5.3.2(3).
- Flange with filled weld, as shown in Figure 510.5.3.2(4). [NFPA 96:7.5.5.1]
For SI units: 1 inch = 25.4 mm
Notes:
- Duct size decreases (going upward) with each telescope.
- Smaller (inside) duct section shall be above or uphill (on sloped duct), to be self draining into larger (outside) duct.
TELESCOPING -TYPE DUCT CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 7.5.5.1(a)]
For SI units: 1 inch = 25.4 mm
Notes:
- Duct size stays the same throughout the duct system.
- Smaller (inside) male duct end is always above or uphill (on sloped duct), to be self draining into larger (outside) female duct end.
BELL-TYPE DUCT CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 7.5.5.1(b)]
FLANGE WITH EDGE WELD DUCT CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 7.5.5.1(c)]
FLANGE WITH FILLED WELD DUCT CONNECTION
[NFPA 96: FIGURE 7.5.5.1(d)]
Butt welded connections shall not be permitted. [NFPA 96:7.5.5.2]
Prior to the use of or concealment of a grease duct system, a leakage test shall be performed to determine that welded joints and seams are liquid tight. The leakage test shall consist of a light test, water pressure test, or an approved equivalent test. The permit holder shall be responsible for providing the necessary equipment and for performing the test. Such test shall be conducted in accordance with ASHRAE 154.
