Back to the age old question, but maybe we are getting closer with a code answer. Looking for clarification from anyone in the know.
I am told the 2012 IMC has made the latest attempt at clarity as to when a Type I or Type II cooking hoods is required, by providing a new exception in 507.2.1 which references Sec 17 of UL 710B-appliance effluent in an electric cooking appliance that generate 5mg/ or less of grease.
Second part of this question, according to my information the exception only applies to electric cooking appliances. Anybody able to share any more particulars about this subject. As of now, we do not have the 2012 IMC in house. May not be much help to me in this particular circumstance if it is limited to electric cooking appliances but would still like to hear more particulars if anyone has them.
