Exhaust Hood

Exhaust Hood over Kitchen Equipment

  • Type I hood is required for all kitchen equipment that produces grease or smoke.
     
  • Type I hood has a fire suppression system built into it.
     
  • Type II hood is required for kitchen equipment that produces only heat/steam.
     
  • Installing a used hood is difficult due to Oregon Building Code requirements; review this with your mechanical contractor before making this decision.
     
  • Hoods must be structurally supported above and from side- to-side to meet seismic standards.
     
  • Suspended equipment exceeding 75 pounds must be designed by a licensed engineer.
