/ Field knowledge · Kitchen + plumbing
The hood and the interceptor are one job.
A Type I hood on the mechanical sheets and no grease interceptor on the plumbing sheets is two comments, not a sequencing issue. The menu drives both.
What has to match
- Menu / equipment schedule decides Type I vs Type II and whether grease-laden waste exists.
- Hood and grease duct (IMC 506–508) on the M-sheets — type, slope, termination, makeup air, suppression.
- Grease interceptor on the P-sheets — basis, location, access, sample port. “Later” is a comment.
- Makeup air and dining OA are not the same pile of cfm. Run the 508 check.
- Sewer vs septic — if the street has no sewer, stop and open the OSTDS screen before anyone prices underground.
The usual failed VE
Keeping the Type I hood and cutting the interceptor to “fit the room.” That fails plumbing review, then fails the first grease inspection. See plumbing VE.

What to send
Architectural kitchen plan, equipment schedule, existing hood/termination photos on a remodel, plumbing plan or fixture list, and whether sewer is public.
If the hood and the interceptor are not on the same set
Send the menu/equipment schedule and both drawing sets — or the share link.
