Chris Bernhardt Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Is metal flex duct approved for ducting range hoods like the one in the picture? Our Oregon code says smooth metal only but I even see this on new construction that has supposedly been thru final.

Les Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Remember the local muni building official can do what they want. Not allowed here in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dspec Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've written it up a couple times on one year inspections. In addition to stating it needed to be changed, I also state if the builder disputes this,[ and any other items] requesting written documenation from local BI is recommended. It got changed both times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bernhardt Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 In one of the code clases I took a few years ago the instructor,a well known and respected ex-muni now retired, stressed that we should follow the written code and that it was a well known problem that local muni's pick and choose what will be OK in direct contravention with the intention of the code. He also discussed that the exceptions are near to none and gave several examples one even where the state chief muni screwed up allowing something that resulted in a fire.
