I’m always amazed that not every restaurant cleans their hood filters every night. It’s so easy if you do it often because the grease mostly melts away with degreaser. But so hard if you wait and it gets baked on. I only worked at a few restaurants but we cleaned them every night.

That hood with the shredded belt has a motor with a vibration isolating frame. I seem to recall that they are not the best for belted applications. The belt tension crushes the vibration isolating mount over time, which then causes the pulleys to no longer be parallel. Which seems to be the case here.

I could be totally wrong in this, but I prefer my flexible conduit to droop between connection points. This will prevent water from running down along the length of the exterior of the conduit and leaking into the junction box at the connector. Just my opinion.

As long as I've been following your channel , they're still enjoyable to watch ... Thx ...

I used to work in a restaurant as a assistant manager. We had ours cleaned once a month.

I have no intention of ever doing HVAC, but i love watching things get repaired.

Thanks for making the Safety Point very Clear .

That's a nice fan! more so compared to the last one I saw where you had to build the grease drain tube .

I would say the hood filters are clogged on fryer hood so all smoke has been pulled by exhausted right nest to it.

For fans that have the power feed run up through the duct work and into the knockout in the bottom of the motor housing, the easiest way to do it would be to run the duct conduit up to a grease-proof junction box mounted at the top of the duct work (the box on the roof that the fan hinges are bolted to) and then run your flexible conduit from it to the fan knockout. That way, if you need to replace the flexible section, you're not reaching deep into the duct to get to it... Basically what you just did, but that 2x4 junction box gets attached to the inside of the duct instead of on top of the conduit sticking out of the roof... As an Electrician, I too am NOT a fan of running the power feed through the ducts unless it punches through the side of the duct to a disconnect mounted to the roof curb the fan hinges are bolted to so if something goes BANG, you don't need to flip the fan open or run downstairs to turn the thing off...in fact, I think having the 3-phase switch mounted inside the motor housing is a BAD design, it forces you to reach past the motor, belt and pulleys to hit the switch and that's never a good design...

Restaurant I used to work at as maintenance, had it scheduled once a week to remove all hood filters and soak overnight in degreaser. When I got in around 4am I would finish cleaning them and put them back in. Also, once a week I would have to go up on the roof and inspect/clean the exhaust fans including the grease catchers.

If it's such a terrible job that nobody in the kitchen does it, maybe they should hire a company to do it. 😆

As a TAB contractor and Commissioning Agent for the past 2 decades, you should always bring in (Makeup) more air than you are exhausting from your building. You have to account for building leakage through cracks, door under cuts, and seams and this can be as high as 20-30% more, depending on how tight the building was built. You do not want a neutral building pressure. Typically you want between +0.02”w.g. and +0.05”w.g. of building pressure at the exterior doors but some buildings can run much lower and still be fine. With a kitchen it becomes a little trickier to set room pressures. The kitchen must be negative to all other adjoining spaces like the dining area but the overall building pressure still should remain positive to the atmosphere. So you must use conditioned makeup air from the Air handlers units or Rooftop units utilizing the outside air (OSA) section. Unfortunately, so many of these small commercial buildings were never designed for the tremendous moisture and heat load that a kitchen can produce so the units just cannot supply enough outside air to maintain a discharge air temperature (DAT) and supply enough makeup air for the dining space and/or kitchen. So what winds up happening is the mechanical will close the OSA damper(s), lowering the DAT, giving the owner the impression that the problem was solved. In reality, the technician created a bigger problem by running the building negative. It may not be realized for months or even years as the problems with moisture, slick floors, sweating windows, supply registers, ceiling tiles, uncomfortable drafts by the doors, all contributing to a confusing mess of symptoms. I’ve even seen drain traps sucked dry allowing sewer gases to get pulled into the kitchen space. 95% of the restaurants I walk into are negative. When will they learn they are literally sucking their dollars out the kitchen hoods? But they think they’re “saving” so much money by not running the makeup air units. Sorry Charlie, there are no free lunches.

I really appreciate your dedication to these videos. Thanks.

We also follow safe isolation procedures with locking off circuit breakers with lock off kit or removing fuses and putting them away from the power distribution box ( usually your pocket) . Also in the Uk using the conduit as a ground is possible but not often done. We would also test the ground with an earth loop impedance test to check it was affective with results put onto a minor work form.

Great video, this a typical view when I go the roof and.look at exhaust fans, seems every one of them needs a lot of love. Thanks for the video.

I supervised 4 McDonalds, and before that worked my way up from an assistant maintenance me..I did a lot of our own exhaust Fans and even HVAC, unless I checked everything, and it was beyond my ken. What he is saying seems yo be 100% true! Those types of exhaust fan hood filters definitely were packed! I had the closing crew pull all exhaust filters every night, spray them with degreaser that McDonalds provided us, then fill a sink with hot soapy water and soak them all night, then spray out under pressure in the morning before installing them again. Those filters with the bats in them could be disassembled for a thorough cleaning if they are bad to start! And YES, those units were NOT BEING cleaned and maintained properly! Proper care, cleaning, and maintenance of fans blades, lubricating of shafts as needed, oiling motors unless they are sealed, check fan belts weekly, and all of the general cleaning tasks are followed! Every piece of equipment has a planned maintenance manual that comes with them and should be kept in the equipment manual, and near at hand! Doing proper maintenance tasks as required will go a LONG way in making your equipment last for many years, and reduce the chances of having to call repair people out on holidays, weekends and night for something that you could have prevented! Great video! Very thorough and very nice explanations!

As a former 15 year line cook those are the dirtiest hood filters and fans I've ever seen.

I am UK based but I guess the basic concept of washing hood filters would be the same anywhere. We used to clean the hoods and filters every night after closing. Seeing that amount of grease on the filters in this video is insane.

SFA (Service factor amps) is 3.3 I don't like running motors in the SFA range for too long but it can work if you didn't or couldn't adjust the pulley.

Those hood filters ARE salvageable. Soak in boiling water and SC1000 surfactant/degreaser. Once they've soaked for a while, pull them out and rinse them with hot water in a _jet_ That is, connect to the water heater and use a jet nozzle. My family sold thousands of those over the years - the problem is that they should really clean them nightly - spray with detergent, hose with hot water - but too many companies just let their employees be lazy. If you have a huge dishwasher, like a Hobart unit, you can rack two or three of them in at a time and do it that way. The bulk of the filters that had to be replaced were NOT from being clogged. They were from all of the broken welds due to the employees flinging them across the parking lot to the cleaning point at the back, rather than carrying them.

Why not have a conduit installed and wired out, or at least designed to go to the outside. From there, you have a box with a weather-protected switch and flexible conduit to supply.

It takes a single point of pressure of around 20 pounds to break drywall. (Or at least, that's a sheering force. It might even tolerate less impact/tangent force. Maybe half that.) If this "point impact force" was over one square inch (I got the figure from a statistic about hanging things on walls), then 10 psi equals around 277 inches of water. You would need an ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. Most people's eardrums would have long since popped. (5 psi is enough to rupture an eardrum.) If you had 277 inches of water of pressure differential in a building, people would be running from that building as fast as their legs could carry them. (Assuming someone can still stand upright.)
