I have a friend with a mom/pop store that has a small grill area. The hood is 6 ft wide with a square duct (about 16-18" wide) running about 6 ft onto the roof with a fan mounted on top.
He asked me to take a look on cleaning it. I have NEVER done an exhaust system before but I am interested in doing this job. I have taken a good look at this and I don't see incurring any problems. I am sure I can clean it.
I have one question though and that is regarding the fire suppression system.
What do you do with these things. Can they be disarmed for the cleaning process. Will the heat and pressure of the water set it off or am I being paranoid?
Other than that I see no problem with the cleaning. There is plenty of access to the system. It's not near as dirty as some the engines I've degreased during fleet washing.
Thanks for the help.....
