Lindab 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

Lindab 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.

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

Whilst Lindab Thor Duct ® makes every effort to reflect the industry wide understanding of fire resisting duct standards, we do not suggest replacing a thorough research of CEN documents with our Blog posts.  We make every effort to be accurate and true, and, as the passive fire protection industry experience and knowledge grows, we may update our guidance to reflect this.  The design, selection, and supervision of fire strategies must always be managed by qualified Fire Engineers.
