Installation Practices
•All units used in applications with grease laden air are to be installed in accordance to NFPA 96, IMC 2203 and local codes. Consult local code authorities for your specific requirements.
•Fans shall be located in an easily accessible area of adequate size to allow for service or removal. Exhaust fans with ductwork connected to both ends shall have access for cleaning and inspection within 3 ft (0.92 m) of each end of the fan (NFPA 96).
•Maintain a minimum clearance of at least 18 inches (457 mm) to combustible material and 6 inches (125.4 mm) to either
•Fans are to be installed with the motors in the 3 or 9 o’clock (C or G) positions. Motors located in this configuration may cause an unbalanced load that should be considered if isolators are to be used. Equalized loading between isolators can be achieved through the use of mounting rails. Refer to the TCB IOM for details and installation instructions involving mounting rails.
•It is recommended to install the fan near the end of the duct run. This limits the amount of positive pressure in the system. The diagram below illustrates an inline fan exhausting air near the final termination point. See local codes and NFPA 96 for any restrictions and requirements for wall terminations.
