Access Panel Installation

If we had a fairy godmother in the construction industry, we would wish for all exhaust ductwork to run straight from the hood to the fan. Until our dreams come true, we have to focus on making your existing ductwork accessible, because if we can’t reach it, we can’t clean it. Averus East can provide suitable access to your kitchen exhaust system to ensure proper and thorough cleaning, often we can install these items without the use of other trades people, but when needed we are happy to coordinate our efforts. Per code, access is required at every turn of the duct, as well as long runs of horizontal and some vertical. Averus East installs only UL-listed access panels, as required by NFPA 96.

Fan Hinge Retro Fitting

In accordance with NFPA 96, Averus East will install hinge kits on the base of the exhaust fan. Fans can then be safely tipped and cleaned without damage to the fan, conduit or the roofing system, resulting in a longer fan life. Unhinged fans must be removed from their curbing to clean the fan blades. Fan access doors can also be installed to clean the tops of the fan blades.
