Thor Duct ® Kitchen Extract Ductwork

Download Brochure

Kitchen extract poses a specific risk due to the presence of combustible contaminants, namely grease, inside the ductwork. When a kitchen extract passes through multi-compartments, there is a risk from a fire in a compartment outside the kitchen. This can cause the grease inside the duct to ignite, and the fire to spread throughout the building.

Compliance with EN 1366-1

Includes testing ducts under “Type A” fire, with measuring devices thermocouples inside the ductwork and inside the furnace, under full 1100°C temperatures.

The insulated ductwork is examined to see how many minutes it can maintain the duct temperature below 180°C on any one thermocouple, or below 140°C as a mean average of all thermocouples.

Insulation

Thor Duct ® Kitchen Extract is insulated using a calcium magnesium silicate blanket which maintains the duct temperature below 180°C and prevents grease igniting and causing fire to spread throughout the building.

Thor Duct ® is installed with two wraps of insulation, each wrap with a depth of 38mm.
