Pizza Vents and other vents in NYC

[giyad]

need to talk to New York on what thier policy is. and if they will let you direct vent the oven you want to use. I can say what I would do, but may not fly in NY

Thanks, yeah I'm going to continue asking around and I'll post my findings!

It sounds as though you have already obtained your answer, ..yes?.

haha, i wish. No if you read through the thread, I got some info that pizza ovens (gas or electric) do not require a hood or ansul system, they can be direct vented.

That may be true, however, what does NYC about your selected method of cooking? Have they

approved your equipment & design?

Sounds to me like it's a point and shoot, you tell them what you are proposing, they will either approve or deny, denial means back to go, start over again.

Well I'm trying to get in touch with the office of technical certification and research, but they don't answer the phone! I'm going to go over to them tomorrow hopefully theres someone in the office...

Basically, in NY, any equipment that is to be installed must have an MEA # (Materials and Equipment Acceptance). If it does, then they will be able to tell me whether or not it needs a hood (and what type). If it does not have an MEA #, I will have to apply for one, or leave it alone and choose a piece of equipment that has been approved for use in NY.
