    Bar/Tavern help

    It has a integral exhaust system as well which exhaust through a charcoal filter. They have been around for over 10 years and are built for the industry with the intention of no hood system or exhaust. For small food establishments, gas stations, etcetera. I can’t figure out why a small...

    Bar/Tavern help

    So I decided to change my route and go cold sandwiches route and a microwave to try to prevent needed exhaust and Make-up Air, and to get open and get cash flow to fix the exhaust problem later. Dishwasher is low temp undercounter, so don’t create much steam these days, and are supposed to be...

    Bar/Tavern help

    The HVAC system (which is really just a furnace) was not used for a bar/tavern before. There’s all sorts of problems with how it was installed, but luckily for me the building owner is taking cost of that along with the CO2 intake part for heating the space. However, the building owner doesn’t...

    Bar/Tavern help

    Another question. Can exaust and intake ducting be outside the side of building, and then run up to gain extra clearance? Or do that have to come out where the actual end of vent will be?if I could go up externally I would be able to easily gain clearance. I’m sure the building owner would even...

    Bar/Tavern help

    Thanks again! I’m response to this “Without a Type 1 exhaust hood, there is no automatic fire extinguishing system.” The AutoFry machine is actually an enclosed fryer system that has a ANSUL sprinkler system inside of it for that very reason, which is why it is exempt from needing a type 1...

    Bar/Tavern help

    Thanks again for responses. Your right in that it’s a co2 defector to bring in fresh air as stated. I read the intake code and was stuck on exactly what this part was saying: 401.4 #3 “Intake openings shall be located not less than 3 feet (914 mm) below contaminant sources where such sources...

    Bar/Tavern help

    First thanks for the quick responses! So the current furnace does have to have a co2 sensor installed to bring in fresh air. It’s not in the immediate area of the kitchen but it is all considered one space. The make up and exhaust I’m told have to happen automatically at the same time. Can...

    Bar/Tavern help

    Also keep in mind I have had a hard time getting any mechanical company to figure this stuff out for me. They hear exhaust and make up without hood and lose interest. Essentially one company told me, tell me exactly where our path is and then call me.

    Bar/Tavern help

    I am in the process of opening a Bar/Tavern in Oregon. I will streamline past details to start and can fill in any areas needed. Essentially I’m not required to have a hood system because the equipment I’m using is exempt based off UL 710B I believe is the code. However I’m told I need...
