Exhaust Fan Hinges Installation in San Bernardino

Installation of Exhaust Fan Hinges

What is the importance of exhaust fan hinges in commercial kitchen exhaust systems?

According to the NFPA – National Fire Protection Association Standard – Code 96, all commercial and restaurant kitchens – kitchens must have an exhaust fan kit installed into their exhaust system. They are not only required by the ‘National Fire Protection Association – NFPA’, but also by local codes and insurance companies.

What is the function of the exhaust fan hinge?

There are many types, styles, varieties and forms of hinge kits. They all serve the same purpose – to do the job – to roll. These are used to make the exhaust system easier to clean and maintain. The hinge kits include a locking pin-based chain attachment. This allows the turbine’s tilt to be locked so that it can be cleaned or maintained. After cleaning, the pin and chain can be used to lock the system in place.

What are the main reasons to have exhaust fan hinges installed at San Bernardino?

Safety. Safety. The exhaust system for a kitchen or commercial kitchen is used to remove grease, smoke, and other particles floating in the air. It must go somewhere, and is often vented on the roof or rooftop.

An exhaust fan hinge kit can make it easier to clean – inspect and maintain your exhaust system. It will also prevent the lid from being damaged or dented. It is possible for the lid to become damaged by being removed from the roof and placed on another roof.

The fan and electrical cords are another area that can be’safeguarded-shielded-protected’ when a hinge is installed. Many times, the electrical cords must be disengaged, detached, or disconnected if the lid needs to be taken off. If these cords are not kept in a safe place, they could be damaged during cleaning. They may also not have been properly re-attached-re-joined-re-lined-re-connected. The fan is also vulnerable to damage.

The hinge kit eliminates potential hazards and makes it easier to use. The hinge kit is intended to secure the lid in a locked position that allows for cleaning, maintenance and inspection. The majority of workers – people and employees – don’t think to inspect the roof system. It is better to have someone come in regularly to clean the hood and maintain it.
