I understand that NFPA 96 doesn't prohibit running grease duct horizontally, but there are many issues with horizontal grease duct, such as:
1) Duct cleaning
2) Duct sagging over the time and creating low points where grease will collect
3 During the cleaning process sprinkler heads get damaged by a cleaning solution blast etc...

Have you experienced any other issues with horizontal grease ducts? Do you tend to minimize horizontal runs or limit them to certain distance?
 
Under international mechanical code , and allowed with stipulations

Problem: Proper clean out covers
 
We prohibit them in my jurisdiction.
