What is a commercial backguard flue riser?

A commercial backguard flue riser is a stainless steel component that forms part of a kitchen's exhaust and ventilation system, installed behind cooking appliances to provide a protected space for airflow management. It supports safe venting of heat, smoke, and fumes, while acting as a back barrier for equipment and extending the cooking line. The DHS-72 model from Imperial is designed for high durability and efficiency in high-volume culinary environments, such as restaurants and institutional kitchens, by integrating a robust flue riser with double shelves for support. Its size and NSF certification make it suitable for professional applications requiring reliable sanitation, airflow, and heat dissipation, especially in areas with extensive cooking equipment. Installed in undercounter café stations, open kitchens, or buffet lines, it helps maintain safety and operation flow for mid-volume restaurant service.
