Appendix A1:
The installation of a Deep Fat Fryer Nozzle PN13729 at a height lower than its
listed minimum is only permitted if provisions are made to accommodate the resultant
splashing of grease. This need may occur due to the low height of the hood provided
over the appliance. In the event of such a situation precautions must be taken to prevent
the splashing of the hot grease onto persons or flammable material located adjacent to the
appliance. Any opening that would allow this to happen must be closed off by the
installation of a guard of sufficient size to prevent the splashing. The required guard
height above the appliance is limited to the size of the opening or 18” whichever is less.
A guard higher than 18” is permitted but not required. This provision will then allow the
nozzles to be located at a height less than the listed minimum. The lowest nozzle height
is limited to 16” above the liquid level of the grease.
Extinguishment at this lower height is enhanced due to the increase of agent being
applied directly to the burning grease and none being allowed to spray outside the
appliance. A high degree of fire safety is achieved and public safety is preserved.
Appendix A2:
The term “Commercial” is used interchangeably with “Industrial” as it applies to
cooking appliances. Both refer to the preparation of food for sale, with the primary
difference being the quantity of food cooked and to whom the consumer is. None of
those considerations are of any importance when it comes to fire suppression and safety
