VSP 2018 Construction Guidelines

13.2 Install or Fasten
For equipment that is not permanently mounted, install or fasten service lines in a
manner that prevents the lines from contacting decks or countertops.

13.3 Mounted Equipment
Tightly seal BULKHEAD or DECKHEAD-mounted equipment (phones, speakers,
electrical control panels, outlet boxes, etc.) with the BULKHEAD or DECKHEAD
panels. Do not locate such equipment in areas exposed to FOOD splash.

13.4 Seal Penetrations
Tightly seal any areas where electrical lines, steam or water pipelines, etc., penetrate
the panels or tiles of the deck, BULKHEAD, or DECKHEAD, including inside
technical spaces located above or below equipment or work surfaces. Seal any
openings or voids around the electrical lines or the steam or water pipelines and the
surrounding conduit or pipelines.

13.5 Enclose Pipelines
Enclose steam and water pipelines to kettles and boilers in stainless steel cabinets or
position the pipelines behind BULKHEAD panels. Minimize the number of exposed
pipelines. Cover any exposed insulated pipelines with stainless steel or other durable,
EASILY CLEANABLE material.

14.0 Hood Systems

14.1 Warewashing
Install canopy exhaust hood or direct duct exhaust systems over warewashing
equipment (except undercounter warewashing machines) and over three-compartment
sinks in pot wash areas where hot water is used for sanitizing.

14.1.1 Direct Duct Exhaust
Directly connect warewashing machines that have a direct duct exhaust to the
hood exhaust trunk.

14.1.2 Overhang
Provide canopy exhaust hoods over warewashing equipment or three-
compartment sinks to have a minimum 150-millimeter (6-inch) overhang from
the steam outlet to capture excess steam and heat and prevent condensate from
collecting on surfaces (Figure 10).
