Commercial Kitchen ventilation
Commercial Kitchen ventilation
(OP)
Hi,
I'm designing a kitchen ventilation system for a restaurant. We have one stove, a gas fired pizza oven and a gas fired proofer. I'm putting an exhaust hood for stove. The owner doesn't want many roof penetrations and is asking to discharge flue vent from oven and proofer to exhaust hood.
From the manufacturer, I know that we should have a type B flue vent system for each gas fire system. Is it allowed to combine flue vent with exhaust hood.
Thanks,

I have fairly small size commercial kitchen oven and type B flue vent is good enough. I wonder if I could get away from separate vents and terminate flue vent in stove exhaust hood and discharge to roof thru kitchen hood?

Part of this also has to do with the fire suppression systems in place.

Discharging a flue vent into the building envelope (at the stove hood) will not be allowable for several reasons. What if the stove hood is not operating?

I guess it's too risky, I should talk to owner to have separate vents for gas fired appliances terminated on the roof.
