Roof penetrations shall comply with listed clearance to combustibles, see "Clearance to Combustibles" guide for details. The grease duct will terminate at the fan transition plate, will be fully welded to the fan transition plate and the fan transition plate will be fastened to the curb using a suitably sized fastener provided by others; see page 13 of the "Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual" for details.

Grease duct joints shall be held together by means of formed vee clamps and sealed with 3M Fire Barrier 2000+.
