The ductwork is the "artery" of your kitchen’s ventilation system. If improperly designed or installed, it becomes a major fire hazard and a source of persistent leaks. EKG M & E Sdn Bhd specializes in Kitchen Ducting for Commercial Use, utilizing heavy-gauge materials and liquid-tight welding techniques to ensure a safe, high-velocity path for grease-laden vapors to exit your building.
High-Grade Material Selection We use 1.2mm to 1.6mm (16-18 gauge) galvanized steel or stainless steel, as required by international fire codes, to ensure the duct can withstand high temperatures and potential chimney fires.
Liquid-Tight Welded Seams Unlike standard HVAC ducts, kitchen ducts must be leak-proof. We utilize continuous external welding on all longitudinal seams and transverse joints to prevent grease "weeping" into ceiling voids.
Fire-Rated Duct Wrap & Insulation We provide professional installation of 1-hour or 2-hour fire-rated duct wrap (such as Rockwool or specialized ceramic blankets) to maintain zero-clearance to combustible materials, ensuring BOMBA compliance.
Internal Slope & Grease Drainage Our ducts are installed with a specific pitch (slope) towards the hood or dedicated grease traps, preventing the accumulation of stagnant oil "pools" within the horizontal runs.
Code-Compliant Access Panels We strategically install fire-rated, grease-tight access doors at every change of direction and every 3 meters of horizontal run to allow for mandatory NFPA 96 compliance cleaning.
Optimized Radius Bends & Transitions To minimize static pressure loss, we design smooth, long-radius elbows and streamlined transitions, ensuring your fan doesn't have to "fight" turbulence to pull smoke out.
Structural Support & Vibration Isolation Heavy-duty threaded rods and unistrut trapeze hangers are used to secure the ductwork, with integrated vibration isolators to prevent mechanical noise from echoing through the building structure.
Compliance with UBBL & NFPA 96 We design and install strictly according to the Uniform Building By-Laws (UBBL) and NFPA 96 standards, ensuring your kitchen passes all insurance and fire department inspections.
M&E Engineering Accuracy As a full-service M&E firm, we perform the complex airflow calculations needed to size your ducts correctly, preventing "low-velocity" zones where grease is likely to settle and solidify.
Expertise in Complex Routing Whether it’s a high-rise shaft installation or a cramped heritage building in KL/PJ, our team excels at routing ductwork through challenging architectural spaces without compromising performance.
