Grease-Duct Cleanouts: Verify Access Before the Route Is Final
Locate and size grease-duct access openings from the approved design and governing requirements, then keep a usable cleaning path to every opening.
Stop if
- Where are the required grease-duct cleanouts on this run, and will each one remain safely reachable for cleaning?
Watch out
- Do not omit an opening because the drawing is crowded, place it behind permanent work, or field-cut a door that is not part of the approved system.
Check
- Review the approved grease-duct layout and access plan
- Identify direction changes and difficult cleaning sections
- Verify opening type, size, and listed construction
- Check safe physical access after ceilings and equipment are installed
- Coordinate labels and inspection before concealment
