SECTION 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT: These instructions must be followed in all details. Failure to do so may result in a hazardous installation. Contact NAKS if there are any questions regarding these instructions. Compliance with local code, acceptance by the local code authority (AHJ) and warranty coverage is contingent upon the NAKS system being installed and maintained in strict accordance with these installation and maintenance instructions.
0” (0 mm) Where, according to local code, no chase enclosure is required, NAKS Grease Duct may be installed adjacent to a wall of combustible construction at the minimum clearance specified on each pipe section and in the individual Listing as shown in the following tables.
PIPE WEIGHT The approximate installed weight of the NAKS exhaust systems can be found using Table 1-3. This table does not include accessories such as supports and guides, nor shipping packaging or palletizing weight (See Table 1-3). Table 1-3. Installed Pipe Weight (Lb./ft)

Joint Assembly – Model DW-NAKS-CK-ZC & DW-NAKS-CK-RC The Model NAKS-CK joint system is designed for a quick and easy installation. See Figs 1-12 to 1-15. To Assemble: Clean / prepare the surfaces where sealant is to be applied. Select correct sealant based on flue gas and application: J-600 Sealant is for Flue Gas temperatures up to 600F for low temperature heating system or Grease Duct.
Vertical Support Spacing and Limits NAKS-CK Grease Duct must be supported properly. Several support options are available. Refer to Table 2-1 and Fig 2-1 (Dim A) for maximum support height capabilities. For all support options, ensure non-combustible hanger straps (or similar) are secured into joists or other solid structures.
Horizontal Support Spacing Horizontal installations of NAKS-CK Grease Duct require guides to maintain proper alignment of the system and lateral support for wind loads. Refer to Table 2-3 and Fig. 2-2 for Horizontal Spacing. Applicable horizontal supports are FAR Full Angle Ring, HAR Half Angle Ring, LSB Light Support Band, and GWB Guy Wires Band.
The installing contractor only provides the channel as Heavy-Duty Base acts as the framework. See Figs 2-6 & 2-7. Hardware for attaching the Plate Support to the HDB Heavy Duty Base is supplied with the base. Fig 2-6. HDB Support for Vertical Fig 2-7. HDB Support for Horizontal NAKS-INSTALL-CK-2022...

Fixed Pipe Lengths (__L) NAKS-CK Grease Duct is available in a variety of fixed pipe lengths (e.g., 12”, 18”, 24”, 30”, 36”, 42”, & 48”). Refer to the catalog for available sizes. Additionally, where required, custom lengths may be ordered. Refer to the corresponding Joint Assembly section for installation instructions.
Arrow shows direction of flue gas flow, or up direction. SW-NAKS-CK Pipe Cut to Length NOTE: An SW-NAKS-CK Cut Length Band (CLB) is required to complete the joint assembly. Field measure required distance to fill between two pipe ends. Add 4.4” to determine the overall cut pipe length required.

Cut Length (18CL & 24CL) Any NAKS-CK Pipe can be cut to length, however, the CL provides the easiest installation method for cutting and accommodating odd lengths in the field. The CL includes an inner flue pipe (18” or 24” long), insulation wrap and a Cut Length Band (CLB).
Standard is one 1” NPT nipple, but any size can be factory installed and in multiple configurations. All ports are continuously welded to the inner pipe. Gaskets or sealant used to connect other equipment and supporting of this equipment is by others. See Fig 3-22. Fig 3-22. TPL 2022 NAKS-INSTALL-CK-...

No Screen (N) or With Screen (S). NAKS uses 1” x 1” x 0.059” thick stainless-steel wire mesh for termination screens. The purpose of a screen is to not allow debris or personnel into the exhaust and also used to restrict rodents or birds from entering the exhaust.
5) Access at the top of a vertical riser to accommodate personnel descent. 6) Where personnel entry is not possible, access at every floor. NAKS-CK Grease Duct has two standard options for access panels in Grease Duct systems. These are no-tool in design and specifically tested and Listed for Grease Duct use.
Unlatch the outer jacket clips and open the door (hinges are on the opposite side of the clips). Remove the precut insulation blanket. Loosen and remove the wing nuts. Remove the inner door. Access the Grease Duct. Reverse the steps to close the door. Fig 7-3 IAD NAKS-INSTALL-CK-2022...
Through Penetration Firestop (TPF) The TPF is used to retain a fire rating where (only) model DW-NAKS-CK-ZC passes through a fire-rated floor or wall. See UL Fire Resistance Directory No. R39862. Classified in Accordance With UL-2221. For floor penetration, one TPF is installed on the top the floor. For wall penetration a TPF is to be installed on each side of the wall.
Maintenance NAKS recommends that the entire system be checked by a qualified inspector at least once a year after the system is placed in service. The installation must conform to the requirements of the appliance manufacturer’s instructions, the National Fuel Gas Code and local codes and regulations.
