First Time
Your restaurant can’t open without a code-compliant hood system. Since 1980, We’ve installed 10,000+ commercial kitchen exhaust systems across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland—every one engineered to pass inspection the first time.
Our external welds consistently pass inspection on the first attempt with the Fire Marshal’s Office and code officials.

How CRS Hoods Guarantees a "First-Time Pass" Inspection
To stay compliant with NFPA 96 standards & International Mechanical code, a kitchen ventilation system must do more than just “suck air.” We focus on the three pillars of compliance that most rookies miss:
PROPER CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
We ensure your ductwork meets the strict 18-inch clearance or uses approved fire-rated wraps.
Calculated Make-Up Air (MUA)
We balance your air pressure so your front door doesn’t “whistle” and your AC doesn’t work overtime.
Airstream Integrity
Our liquid-tight, continuous external welds prevent grease leaks—the #1 cause of kitchen fires and failed inspections.
