Access Panels

If the duct can't be reached, it isn't clean

Long duct runs, turns, and risers hide sections no one can reach from the hood or the fan. Access panels open those sections up, so the whole run gets cleaned instead of just the ends.

What's Included

What installation involves

Why It Matters

The fire risk lives in the middle of the run

The sections nobody can reach are exactly where grease accumulates for years, and exactly what a fire finds first.

Partial cleaning is false comfort

A certificate means the system was cleaned. Panels make sure that can actually happen, every foot of it.

Inspectors know the difference

Fire marshals look for evidence the full duct run is being maintained, not just the visible ends.

Installed by cleaners, not just installers

We place panels where cleaning experience says they are needed, because we are the ones coming back to use them.

One-time fix, permanent benefit

Once installed, every future cleaning is faster, more complete, and easier to verify.

Common Questions

Access panel questions

How do I know if my ducts need access panels?

If your duct run has long horizontal sections, turns, or risers with no openings, sections are likely going uncleaned. We assess this during your estimate or first cleaning.

Will installation damage the duct?

No. Panels are purpose-made for grease duct service and installed grease-tight.

Is this required by code?

NFPA 96 requires the exhaust system be cleanable through its entire length. Access panels are how systems without adequate openings get there.
