Construction
FLAMEBAR BW11 grease duct is constructed from 20 gage galvanized sheet steel in flanged lengths up to 49 x 49 cross section. The duct is then degreased and factory fire sprayed with FLAMEBAR BW11 which is a specially formulated water based compound which contains selected mineral filters in a lower permeability elastomeric binder to a thickness of approximately 0.04 to give a finished product. The ductwork is produced in flanged sections, each approximately 59 long, and is assembled on site using FLAMEBAR gaskets and sealants. The ductwork is then wrapped with FyreWrap max 2.0 duct insulation, consisting of two layers applied directly to the duct surface. The FyreWrap max 2.0 may be installed at zero clearance to combustibles at all locations on the wrap. All the above components are necessary to achieve ASTM E-2336 listing. The first layer of insulation can be installed with transverse (perimeter) joints butted and minimum 3 longitudinal overlaps. All overlaps for the second or outer layer are required to be a minimum of 3. For the second layer, transverse (perimeter) overlaps of adjacent blankets may be installed using one of the following three methods as shown in Figure 1.

Therefore, an analytical assessment of Unifrax FyreWrap Max 2.0 thermal insulation is being used. According to published information. FireWrap Max 2.0 incorporates Insulfrax Thermal Insulation as its core material. Insulfrax calcium-magnesium-silicate fiber is recommended for continuous use at temperatures up to 1000C (1832F). Sections d and e relate to porcelain-coated ducts only.

UL 1978 Section 11.4a requires that the thermal insulation remain in its intended position. The Unifrax FyreWrap Max 2.0 thermal insulation is mechanically attached to the Firespray BW11 Grease Duct Assembly, using standard copper-coated steel insulation pins and standard 2.5 inch square speed-clip washers. The Unifrax FyreWrap Max 2.0 thermal insulation remained in place during all tests. Therefore, the requirements of UL 1978 Section 11.4a are met by the Firespray BW11 Grease Duct Assembly with the applicable layer(s) Unifrax thermal insulation applied.

WIDELY HELD MISCONCEPTIONS REGARDING KITCHEN GREASE DUCTS

Assumption 1
16 gage black steel with welded seams and joints has a UL listing.

Assumption 4
It is assumed that all grease duct testing should be to UL 1978.

Incorrect: UL 1978 can only test for porcelain coated or stainless steel ducts as required by Clause 7.3. Assumption 2
NFPA 96 requires black steel with welded seams and joints.

Incorrect: As of January 2009, Underwriters Laboratories, Intertek

Services and the International Code Council Evaluation Services (ICC-ES) are jointly abandoning all listings or evaluations that are based on SBCC1 and BOCA acceptance criteria, both of which use the internal fire test portion of UL 1978, which addresses reduced clearances for field applied flexible wrap systems. Once these are abandoned, the only listing for flexible wraps applied to grease ducting will be ASTM E-2336-04.

Incorrect: Clause 1.5 equivalency states nothing in this standard is

intended to prevent the use of systems, methods or devices of equivalent or superior, quality, strength, fire resistance, effectiveness, durability and safety over those prescribed by this standard. Technical documentation shall be submitted to the authority having jurisdiction to demonstrate equivalency. The system, method or device shall be approved for the intended purpose for the authority having jurisdiction.

Assumption 5
There are no other grease duct fire tests.

Incorrect: Firespray have installed literally thousands of grease duct

systems around the world including the USA for more than 20 years and have a listing for this under IS0 6944, which in some aspects is a more onerous test than ASTM E-2336. One of the anomalies in E-2336 is that the test for a fire inside the duct is 4 hours at 500F and then 30 minutes at full temperature at approximately 2000F. If the partition through which the duct passes is a 2 hour separating element, why is the duct (fire inside) only tested for 30 minutes. We have carried out the same test under IS0 6944 for 2 hours (fire inside and outside) at temperatures in excess of 2000F

Assumption 3
It is widely considered that NFPA 96 is a test standard.

Incorrect: lt defines compliance with NFPA 96 as Chapter 4

Clause 4.3.1.2.
