Cleaning Kitchen Exhaust Systems

According to NFPA 96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, kitchen ex-haust systems are required to be periodically inspected for grease buildup. If the exhaust system is found to be contami-nated with excessive grease deposits, the contaminated portions of the exhaust system are required to be cleaned by a qualified person. Our depth gauge comb has become the industry stan-dard tool for assessing grease buildup and the need for cleaning.

• Grease Comb - FTGC

Before any cleaning is conducted, the exhaust fan is turned off, locked out, and tagged out. Open flames are extinguished and switches, breakers serving the cooking appliances, and out-lets are locked out. Any solid-fuel is extinguished and removed. All food, cookware, and cooking equipment is removed or cov-ered with plastic sheeting.

• Lockout Tags - ELA290 or ELA250• Lockouts for Plugs - LP110 or LP550• Circuit Breaker Lockouts - CB01 thru CB04• Plastic sheeting - PS1003

Where surfaces have unacceptable lev-els of grease, manual cleaning by scraping and scrubbing, clean-ing with water and agents, cleaning with a pressure washer with water or water and agents, or steam cleaning are employed to remove grease to a minimum of 0.002”. Water, grease, cleaning agents and solid waste are collected with plastic sheeting and containers for proper disposal.

• Disposable wipers and dispensers - KCW, KCH, KCRB200, and KCST55

• Cleaners - BRSSP, SSCP, OCA18, SLAH1, and BLAST1• Plastic sheeting - PS1003

All cleaning personnel are provided with personal protective equipment (PPE), height access equipment, and protective mats as follows:

• Eye protection, such as safety goggles - EW201 or EW241• Hand protection, including gloves - MG6932 or MG6944• Head protection, including hard hats - HH1 thru HH4• Foot protection, including leather work boots or PVC

boots - 12002BK or STB• Protective coveralls and shoe covers - 555 and TYBC• Respiratory protection, including masks and

particulate respirators - RP9500 or RP1730

• Fall protection - FPHN, FP6L, and FP12PFL

• Height access - SSB20 • Service mat - SSM

After the exhaust system is cleaned, all access panels and cover plates are restored, and missing or damaged pan-els or plates are replaced. Dampers and diffusers are positioned for proper air-flow. Electrical switches and system components are returned to their oper-able condition. A certificate with com-pany name, cleaning person, and date of inspection/cleaning is posted on the premises and a written report on the areas cleaned and those that were inac-cessible and not cleaned is provided.

• Duct access doors - Ductmate Access Doors, (numerous parts)

• Certificate of Inspection - CT100 (certificates), ZLRH (zip-lock holder)

Restaurant fire protection starts with prevention measures and good house-keeping practices. Removal of unsafe accumulations of grease from hoods, ducts, and other exposed surfaces not only improves the level of safety by re-ducing the hazard level, but it increases your company’s revenues.

Hydrant TestingBy Mark Conroy

Your local fire department needs test data on their water supply and they have called you in to provide assistance with collecting the data. All you need is some basic equipment, tools, and in-formation to support the effort. Armed with several products and knowledge of the test procedures, you can get the job done, and you’ll be providing a valuable service to your community, while increasing your revenue.

HydrantsA fire hydrant is a valve connected to

the city or town water supply. The valve stem sticks out the top of the hydrant, so you’ll need a Hydrant Wrench (P/N W575 or W580) to open and close it. The caps on the front and two sides of the hydrant are fittings where fire hose is connected. Instead of connecting fire hose, you’ll be using these openings for testing pressure and water flow.

Flushing of HydrantsWith a Spanner Wrench (P/N W570)

take off one of the 21/2 inch caps on the hydrant side and tighten the other two caps. Open the hydrant slowly with the Hydrant Wrench and allow water to flow. This is called flushing the hy-drant. Initially, the water will be rusty and contain some sediment. Allow it to flow until it runs clear and then close the hydrant slowly. You are now ready to start the tests. Always remember to open and close hydrants slowly so that you don’t cause a quick pressure surge that damages piping and equipment.

Static Pressure ReadingMost hydrant tests start with a

reading for static pressure. Static pres-sure is the pressure reading before water flows. The pressure reading is taken at the residual hydrant with no hydrants flowing.

Test Procedure:1. Remove the cap from a 21/2

inch connection on the side of the hydrant.

2. The Cap Gauge (P/N CG25) is threaded onto this 21/2 inch outlet.

3. First, open the petcock valve on the Cap Gauge, and then slowly open the hydrant valve using a Hydrant Wrench until it is fully open.

4. Once the air is exhausted, close the petcock (air is removed to get a true pressure reading).

5. At this point, the Cap Gauge pressure reading is recorded. This is called the static pressure.

6. Record the data.

Residual Pressure ReadingResidual pressure is the pressure

reading while water is flowing. The pressure reading is taken at a residual hydrant, while one or more other hy-drants are flowing water.

Test Procedure:1. Similar to the above test proce-

dure, the Cap Gauge is attached to one of the 21/2 inch outlets of the residual hydrant.

2. Other hydrants in the system are then opened, based on the direction from the fire depart-ment. The fire department uses radios or cell phones to commu-nicate commands to open and close hydrants.

3. While water is flowing at the other hydrants, one or more pressure readings are recorded at the cap gauge on the residual hydrant. Several readings are sometimes needed, based on the number of hydrants the fire department wants to flow test. This reading is called the residual pressure.

4. Record the data.

Velocity Pressure Readings (Flow Measurement)

The fire department will also need hydrant flow measurements. The com-mon method to get flow measurements is using a device with a Pitot tube. A Pitot tube directs flowing water up to a pressure gauge. One device with a Pitot tube and pressure gauge combi-nation is called the Pitot Gauge (P/N HH26). Another device used for this test is called the Hydrant Test Kit (P/N HK25). This device looks like a pipe fit-ting with a gauge on top, but there is a Pitot tube inside that directs the wa-ter to the pressure gauge. It also comes with a diffuser screen fitting so that the lawn or landscape near the hydrant is not washed out during the test.

Test Procedure (Pitot Gauge):

1. Remove the cap from a 21/2 inch connection on the side of the hydrant.

2. Open the hydrant slowly, using a Hydrant Wrench, until full flow occurs.

3. Insert the blade of the Pitot

Gauge into the middle of the wa-ter stream, about 11/4 inches from the hydrant outlet.

4. This pressure reading is called the velocity pressure or Pitot pressure.

5. Close the hydrant slowly to avoid a shock to piping system.

6. Convert the pressure reading (psi) to flow (gpm) using the manufacturer’s tables.

7. Record the data.

Test Procedure (Hydrant Test Kit):

1. Remove the cap from a 21/2 inch connection on the side of the hydrant.

2. Thread the barrel of the Hydrant Test Kit onto the 21/2 inch con-nection on the hydrant.

3. Thread the Hydrant Test Kit dif-fuser fitting to the other end of the barrel connection.

4. Open the hydrant slowly, using a Hydrant Wrench, until full flow occurs.

5. This pressure reading is called the velocity pressure or Pitot pressure.

6. Close the hydrant slowly to avoid a shock to the piping system.

7. Convert the pressure reading

(psi) to flow (gpm) using the manufacturer’s tables

8. Record the data.With this information, you can now

team up with the local fire department and provide hydrant testing assistance. It is not only a revenue generator, but you will be helping to make your com-munity a safer place to live. FMark Conroy is an engineer in our Boston, MA office. Copyright © 2014, all rights reserved.

Testing Emergency Lights Ensures Reliability and Increases RevenueBy Bob Mete

Continued from page 4Feature

Continued on page 7

Commercial, governmental and certain residential buildings are required by code to have emergency lighting to pro-vide illumination when the power goes out. This lighting is provided so that people can see and safely find their way to an exit if there is a need for evacu-ation. Since most buildings don’t have their own backup generator, battery-operated emergency lights are installed. Either a lead acid battery with an ex-pected service life of 5 to 10 years or a nickel cadmium battery lasting 10 to 15

years are used to power these devices. Battery service life is related to factors, such as ambient temperature, but there is no reliable way to tell how long a spe-cific battery will last without testing it.

Testing RequirementsTo help ensure their reliability, NFPA

101, Life Safety Code requires battery-operated emergency lights to be tested as follows:

• Monthlyfunctionaltestfor 30 seconds

• Annualloadtestfor90-minutes

Although it is the responsibility of the building owner to maintain this vital life safety equipment, the actual test-ing is typically conducted by a person with knowledge of the code require-ments and special training on the pro-cedures for testing the manufacturer’s

equipment. Failure to test and periodi-cally replace batteries could result in inoperative emergency lights, which could lead to injuries or fatalities, in the event of an emergency. Regardless, financial penalties could be imposed on the building owner for emergency lights that fail to work at any time and that includes during an inspection by the fire or building officials.

Reasons for the Annual Battery Load Test

Although emergency lights are equipped with a test button, its main purpose is for the 30-second test to assure that the battery is connected and that the lamps work. However, a short duration push of the test button isn’t a valid test for the capabilities of the batteries. Portable battery testers

Telecommunications facilities pro-vide a service to the public related to telephone voice transmission, data transmission, internet transmission, voice-over internet protocol (VoIP) transmission, and video transmission.

A server room is a room devoted to the continuous operation of computers and some of the equipment in a server room could be used for these transmis-sions. Understanding the NFPA stan-dards that apply to these hazards is important in order to provide the right type and number of extinguishers.

Server rooms that support a compa-ny’s business are within the scope of NFPA 75, Standard for the Fire Protec-tion of Information Technology Equip-ment. Rooms and buildings that are for the purpose of providing telecommu-nications-type transmissions, rendered to the public, fall within the scope of NFPA 76, Standard for the Fire Protec-tion of Telecommunications Facilities.

If the telecommunications facility is a central office, NFPA 76 is very clear where portable fire extinguishers are required. The following table (upper right) provides information from NFPA 76 on the locations where portable fire extinguishers are required to be in-stalled and maintained in accordance with NFPA 10, Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers.

This table is meant to mimic the re-quirements in NFPA 76, based on the hazard. It does not provide specific information related to types of extin-guishers. Based on this table, a hazard assessment should be conducted in ac-cordance with NFPA 10 for the appro-priate sizes and types of extinguishers. The only additional caution provided in the requirements in NFPA 76 is that dry chemical and corrosive liquid agent portable fire extinguishers shall not be installed in signal-processing

Extinguishers for Server Rooms and Telecommunications Facilities

equipment areas, main distribution frame areas, and power areas.

In server rooms that fall under NFPA 75, the standard states that dry chemical

extinguishers with a minimum rating of 2-A are required. To satisfy this requirement, a halogenated agent ex-tinguisher with a 2-A:10-B:C rating or

a water mist extinguisher rated 2-A:C would be in-stalled. Most often haloge-nated agent extinguishers are installed, which sat-isfies both requirements. Extinguishers shown in the tables to the left are appro-priate for server rooms.

With this information, you can now select and install portable fire extin-guishers for any facility containing a telecommu-nications room or a server room. The most important thing to remember is that your customer is inter-ested in business continu-ity and the extinguishers that you provide in accor-dance with the minimum requirements of NFPA 75 and NFPA 76 will support this effort and provide a reasonable level of safety

for the workers in these vital areas of the building. F

(P/N BACTPLUS, BBA64, BBA612, CELL03) can be used to identify lead acid batteries that are weak and near the end of their service life, but this test does not replace the 90-minute test. Methods to simulate the interruption of power to the emergency lighting unit include holding the button down with tape (P/N GST) or the non-conductive pick (P/N BPICK) for a full 1.5 hours. This load-test is required by code and assures that the battery will illuminate the lamps for the minimum 90 minutes, in the event of failure of normal lighting.

Other Benefits of the Monthly and Annual Test

In addition to identifying weak or dead batteries, the monthly or annual test will also identify emergency light-ing units with burned out lamps or charging/switching circuits that fail to operate. Lamps are easily replaced dur-ing these procedures. While a licensed electrician may be needed to replace an entire emergency lighting unit, you will help your customer by identifying any units that need replacement.

DocumentationGood recordkeeping is also a valuable

tool to help determine when batteries are close to replacement time. Although written records are required to be kept by the building owner, you can provide the owner with records either in a log of all emergency lighting units or by applying a test label. Either way, you can keep your customer in compliance with the code.

Reliable Emergency Lighting Ensures Safety

Emergency lighting in commercial buildings provides illumination when
