to be a minimum of 40 inches

(1016 mm) above the

roof deck and a minimum of 10 ft. from any building
air intake. The minimum velocity in the duct should
be 500 ft/min. or greater.

6. Ductwork to an upblast discharge exhaust fan is

constructed of carbon steel not less than 16 MSG
(1.6 mm) and extends a minimum of 18 inches

(457 mm) above the roof surface.

7. Ensure that a minimum of 500 ft/min. of air velocity

through the fan is maintained per NFPA 96,

installation and after each cleaning) until it flows out
the drain hole. The unit is now ready for use.
