Hi everyone,
We are working on a series of restaurants, some in MA (CMR 248) and NH (I-codes 2009 model codes adopted - not sure about state ammendments in NH).
Is there a code requirement for floor drains?
The kitchens are modest sized 350 to 475 SF. They contain (1) three basin sink and (1) prep sink and spray faucet. There are several soft serve machines that are cleaned periodically.
Also there is a place to put fruit and candy over the top of your soft serve in a counter top with a cash register at the end. Does that topping/sales area require a floor drain?
We typically show (3) floor drains total, one in the topping/sales area and two in the kitchen.
But there's an owner (and his landlord:banghd) that thinks un-reasonable to trench the floor for the drains.
Thanks for your insight.
