In 2026, selecting a Kitchen Hood Duct Contractor in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor requires more than just a sheet metal fabricator. Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024 and the latest BOMBA enforcement, your kitchen exhaust system is a critical life-safety and energy asset. A poorly designed duct network leads to "Grease Seepage," fire hazards, and excessive static pressure that forces your fans to over-consume energy, destroying your 5-Star BEI.
At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we apply 34 years of mechanical engineering expertise to provide turnkey kitchen ducting solutions. We don't just "install" ducts; we engineer the integrity of your safety envelope to be compliant, durable, and optimized for a 5-Star Energy Intensity Label.
As your specialized contractor, we focus on the mechanical forensics of airflow to ensure your kitchen remains safe and efficient.
Laminar Flow & Velocity Control: We engineer duct diameters to maintain a "Transport Velocity" of 9.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s. This ensures grease particles remain suspended until they reach the scrubber, preventing the "Grease Fallout" that fuels duct fires.
Fully Welded Liquid-Tight Construction: Unlike standard HVAC contractors, we utilize TIG-welded Stainless Steel 304/316 for all kitchen exhaust. This ensures the system is 100% liquid-tight, preventing corrosive grease-sludge from leaking onto your ceiling or building facade.
Lowering the BEI: Every bend and transition adds resistance. By utilizing aerodynamically smooth tapers and long-radius elbows, we reduce total system static pressure. This allows your Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to operate at peak efficiency, directly improving your Building Energy Index (BEI) and avoiding peak power charges.
We follow a rigorous mechanical standard to ensure your facility meets MS 1472 and BOMBA 2026 benchmarks:
Where ducts penetrate fire-rated walls or floors, we apply SIRIM-certified Fire-Rated Wraps (2 to 4-hour rating). This ensures that an internal grease fire is contained within the duct, protecting the rest of your building from thermal radiation and fire spread.
We specialize in the connection of Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) and Activated Carbon Scrubbers. We engineer the expansion plenums to ensure laminar airflow across the filter cells, maximizing smoke capture and ensuring your DBKL/MBSA discharge permit remains valid.
To satisfy BOMBA inspection requirements, we integrate Fire-Rated Access Panels every 3 meters and at every change of direction. This allows for total internal duct scouring and verification, which is essential for your annual Fire Certificate (FC) renewal.

34 Years of Technical Depth: Based in KL, we understand the local climate's effect on grease and corrosion. We engineer systems that last for the long term, not just for the handover.
Turnkey MEP Integration: As an M&E contractor, we coordinate the ducting with your water-wash hoods (Hydro-Vents), gas interlock systems, and fire suppression (Ansul/Kitchen Knight), ensuring a seamless safety handshake.
Digital Twin Capability: We provide full 3D as-built data and point-mapping for every duct section, which can be integrated into your building's 3D digital twin for real-time facility management and predictive maintenance.
