Why blame the hood exhaust detailer for the problems of the hood system when in fact the problem is the installers.
Think about it havent you noticed most of the ducts you see are wavy.The reason for that they rush the weld, instead of taking there time, which cause those waves and in turn makes the surface hard to scrape.
Then you got the installers that want to make duct go everywhich way with no regard that the system may be cleaned,plus most of the time they dont install access panels and if they do they dont place the panels where we truley need it.
Then you got the installers that caulk there crappy welds to hide them from the inspecter when they do a light test and then what we are to blame for the leak on the hood right.
The system is blaming the hood detailers like we installed the system we have to install access panels and so on.
Dont you like the panels that are install where you can only work completly flat on your back when you can see on the other side you would have had room.
Then you got all these wiring styles those are really great,some short and some underneath.
Or how about the ones that give you about 2 inches of wire and backwards henges or even better the hinge kit they "forgot" to mount on the exhaust fan.
Then you got the self tapping screws that are waiting on top of the hood for us KEC workers to step or lay on one. Ruff cuts on the duct great for going into you or what happened to me under my nail.
Then besides, these installers they control the fire system. They come in every six months supposed to be in the hood replacing those links every 6 months with "new" links and what happens i have seen them wipe the links clean just tag the system,conduit just hanging instead of fixing and the kec is to blame when the system gets set off,even though i havnt ,know what to look for.
And funny these guys see these systems that are absolutly just dangerous.Sitting with pounds and pounds of grease in the system and they say nothing and still tag the fire system.
How can an installer tag system so full of grease the suppression wont work. But the hood cleaner is to blame when the building burns down,which in a way the blame is there but that fire system company has equal blame.
If you got anything that you feel these "installers" need to stop doing or do post it.
You know if you took your time with the weld of the duct tack weld the entire seem first then weld the waves would not be there and when you look for a place for an access panel imagine you in the position of the panel and having to work in it,and when installing the conduit use your grinder to grind the screws sticking up at top of hood and install more support brackets!! Instead of hiding a missed welds with caulk weld it and when cutting the metal dont leave sharp edges grind it down people do work in there.Fire systems ,always check your system,replace the links,and if the system is full of grease dont back the system up non compliance it duh then the situation will be solved. There is so much more but i cannot think of it all but post it you know what i am talking about.
