What is the maximum size for a collection receptacle on a grease hood?

The maximum size for a collection receptacle on a grease hood is 1 gallon. This requirement is based on safety and maintenance considerations within commercial kitchens and food service establishments. A smaller receptacle limits the amount of grease that can accumulate at any one time, which reduces the risk of fire hazards associated with overflowing or improperly managed grease waste. Additionally, smaller containers are easier to manage and replace, ensuring that they can be emptied and cleaned regularly. This practice supports both hygiene standards and compliance with fire safety regulations as outlined in the mechanical codes relevant to such installations.
