Non-Welded Double Wall Grease Duct/Type HT Chimney Systems Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual FOR YOUR SAFETY TWO MAJOR CAUSES OF GREASE DUCT RELATED FIRES: (1) FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCE (AIR SPACE) TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND (2) FAILURE TO CLEAN GREASE LADEN DUCTS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THIS GREASE DUCT BE INSTALLED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARRANTY This ductwork and chimney system is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship, under normal use and service, for a period of 20-years from the date of shipment. This warranty shall not apply if: 1. The equipment is not installed by a qualified installer per this installation guide; this guide should be kept with the equipment once installation is complete.
LISTINGS This Grease Duct has been tested and is listed to UL1978, UL2221, CAN/ULC-S144 and testing has been extended to recognize ASTM E2336 and AC101 due to similar testing criteria. Models 2R, 3R and 3Z are used for grease duct applications when installed in accordance with these instructions and National Fire Protection Association “NFPA 96”;...
APPLICATION Grease Ducts Double wall grease ducts are listed for a continuous internal temperature of 500°F and intermittent temperatures of 2000°F. Double wall grease duct is ideally suited for use in commercial cooking installations for the removal of smoke and grease laden vapors. Grease duct system size and capacity information may be obtained from the ASHRAE Handbook –...
Chimneys Factory Built Chimney Model 2R Type HT is listed for continuous internal temperatures of 1000°F US & 600°F Canada, intermittent temperatures of 2100°F. This system is ideally suited for commercial and industrial application for the removal of smoke and heat, and is rated for use at a maximum 60 inch water column internal pressure when used in positive pressure applications.
DW - 2R: 3/4” clearance to combustibles from the surface of the duct outer shell; zero inch clearance from combustibles from the tip of the outer V-band. DW - 2R: 1” clearance to combustibles from the surface of the duct outer shell; zero inch clearance from combustibles from the tip of the outer V-band.
MECHANICAL Joint Sealant Proper joint assemble is essential for a safe installation. Follow these instructions exactly as written Check severeness of joints upon completion of assembly. The joint sealant used to seal all joint assemblies is 3M Fire Barrier 2000+ Silicone Sealant. This sealant is a ready-to-use, gun-grade, one-component silicone elastomer that cures upon exposure to atmospheric humidity to form a flexible seal.
Grease Duct and Chimney Joint Assembly All grease ducts are to be liquid tight per NFPA 96. Model 2R Type HT chimney used in positive pressure applications must be liquid tight per UL103 and UL103HT listing. When a chimney system is used in a positive pressure application, it must be fitted with an internal joint collar and sealed as shown in Figure 3 (positive pressure only).
Double Wall Adjustable Duct, Chimney and Transition Plate Adjustable duct sections may be used in conjunction with transition plates when they terminate at the fan. The adjustable duct section is fully welded to the transition plate, and then connected to the standard duct length using non-welded connections.

Double Wall Connection to Riser 1. After the riser has been installed, see “Factory and Field (Bolted and Welded) Risers” on page 17, connect the double wall section to the riser. 2. Connect the duct/chimney section to the riser, refer to steps 1 through step 3 in “Grease Duct and Chimney Joint Assembly”...
Duct Drains Drains are used to provide a point at which low points in the duct system can be drained. Condensation and low lying water left over from duct cleaning can be drained easily with the installation of a ball valve drain.
Access Door (Tee Cap) Assembly Access doors (tee caps) are available 8” to 36”. They work in conjunction with the manifold tee as shown on “Manifold Tee” on page 19. The tee joint connection is the same as the joint assembly method, refer to “Grease Duct and Chimney Joint Assembly”...
Transition Plate The transition plate is designed to connect to a roof curb. The duct section is welded to the underside of the plate. The plate is formed to provide a slope to allow grease deposits to flow back towards the duct. When connected, the plate mounts on top of the fan curb that supports the fan housing.
Chimney Adapter Plate The transition plate is designed to connect to a roof curb. The chimney section is welded to the underside of the plate. When connected, the plate mounts on top of the curb that supports the chimney cap. The plate may be positioned off center within the curb provided that the minimum distance to combustibles is maintained.
Prevention of Grease Accumulation in Horizontal Grease Duct In some areas the local authority will require horizontal duct runs to be sloped. The duct referenced in this manual is listed, 1/16” per foot slope for horizontal runs less than 75 feet. For installations with horizontal runs greater than 75 feet, the duct referenced in this manual is listed, 3/16”...

Vertical Support & Vertical Support Spacing Duct and chimney system(s) require supports along vertical runs. There are multiple vertical supports used for duct and chimney system(s). Each support assembly is designed for a specific type of installation. Review installation site before selecting supports. There are three different types of hardware supplied depending on the type of wall that the duct and chimney is being supported on.

IMPORTANT: VERTICAL SUPPORTS REFERED TO IN THIS MANUAL ARE REQUIRED. SUPPORTS BY OTHERS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION (AHJ), GREASE DUCT ONLY. CHIMNEY SYSTEMS MUST USE THE SUPPORTS LISTED IN THE MANUAL, SUPPORTS BY OTHER ARE NOT ALLOWED. SUPPORT SPACING MUST BE AS STATED IN THIS MANUAL.

Methods Used to Test Duct After Assembly NOTE: The mentioned leakage tests are not specific to the listing(s) requirements of the system being tested. Local codes and regulations should be consulted before final inspection. In absence of local codes and regulations, refer to the latest edition of the International Mechanical Code (IMC) Chapter 5, Exhaust Systems for inspection and testing requirements.
Duct design should provide adequate support to ensure duct components are not overloaded. Weight – DW-2R The following formula can be used to approximate the weight of total length of DW-2R double wall duct. Inner Shell + Outer Shell + Insulation or (.0327*L*D) + [.0218*L*(D+4)] + [.0364*L*(D+2)].
