Most up-to-code restaurants come with commercial exhaust systems and an additional grease duct access door for added support. A single wall grease duct is a basic yet highly functional product. Available in galvanized steel, 316 stainless steel, and 304 stainless steel, it can be installed just about anywhere (even zero clearance systems), which makes it a smart option when installing a grease duct.
Grease duct installation is an effective way to prevent debris and grease buildup, pesky issues that can cause a fire to start in your kitchen. How easy and how often you can clean your grease duct system is heavily dependent on how much clearance you have. Our grease duct access doors are lightweight and easy to install, making them an excellent option for any restaurant owner. They also require no frame to be installed and come with a template sticker so that restaurant owners know exactly where to cut around during installation.
The bonus? Since grease duct access doors don’t require welding or tools, you won’t need to hire a professional to remove and reinstall them down the line. Take control of your renovation project by going DIY.
You have some freedom regarding how and where you want your grease duct access doors to be installed. However, since these can be installed on the top or the side of ductwork, it’s a good idea to check with a licensed cleaner to ensure whatever location you decide on has adequate clearance. Regardless of where you choose to install the grease duct access door, make sure it’s at least 1 ½ inches from the edge of the grease duct itself—otherwise, you could interfere with the structural stability of the duct.
As a restaurant owner, you want to make the space any cleaner will be entering at least 20’ by 20’ to allow them to crawl inside. If there is not enough space and your duct is too small for someone to get inside, then it’s recommended that you install a grease duct access door every 12 feet large enough for the cleaner to access your ducts from the outside.
Protect your business and clients with grease duct access doors can be found in various sizes to suit your restaurant’s duct system needs. By installing enough grease duct access doors to your establishment, your cleaners will have space to clean your system correctly.
