2006 International Mechanical Code 507.2.1 Type I Hoods.
Type I hoods shall be installed where cooking appliances produce grease or smoke, such as occurs with griddles, fryers, boilers, ovens, ranges and wok ranges.
The City of Port Townsend has a new crepes restaurant and the owner doesn't think a crepes griddle should be required to have a Type I Hood. The owner reason is because other Cities have approved crepe resaturants with a Type II hood.
Is there any gray area here for the requirement between Type I or Type II Commercial Kitchen Hood?
Thank you,
Rick
