Static field route #1003

What do I check for finish work: grease duct finish: cleanouts, clearance, and do-not-touch zones?

Finish Work, Punch List & CloseoutVerified starter — finish work field check

Grease duct finish work is life-safety and inspection-sensitive. Cleanouts, welded joints, rated enclosures/wrap, clearance to combustibles, access, slope, and fan/hood connections are not casual finish details.

Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Verify cleanouts remain reachable.
Do not bury access behind ceilings/walls without approved access panels.
Watch clearance/enclosure/wrap continuity.
Protect labels, inspection points, and fire-rated assemblies.
Document conflicts before finish closeout.

Ask foreman

This is grease duct/kitchen exhaust. Can you verify cleanout access, clearance/enclosure/wrap, and inspection status before we close this area?

Do not

Stop before modifying, covering, patching, welding, wrapping, moving, or hiding grease duct, cleanouts, rated enclosures, or kitchen exhaust access.

Why it matters

Finish work is where rough-in becomes visible, inspected, balanced, serviced, and turned over. Clean install and access matter.
