CKV hoods are separated in to two Type of Hoods: Type I and Type II.
A Type I hood is hood that can be used to exhaust heat, steam, grease and other effluents generated from commercial cooking. The code and standards detail construction requirements for Type I hoods that depict a hood that is much more substantial than a type II hood. A Type I hood must be designed withstand the demands of continuous high temperatures grease laden cooking. (see example to the right)
A Type II hood is a hood that can be used to exhaust heat and steam only. A Type II hood cannot be used to when grease other effluents other than heat and steam are generated during the cooking process. (see example to the right)
