Hey Ken, good day friend. Enlighten me about the separation requirement? Please?

NFPA 96, 12.1.2.4 states - deep fat fryers require atleast 16" between fryer & surface flames from ajacent cooking equipment. The flat grill could produce surface flames at times, & judging from the heat discoloration on the bottom broiler, I would ask for separation.

But there is not deep fryer in the photo. I am aware of that requirement but is it applicable here for a grill and a double salamander (broiler)?

You're right, my bad. You know me, I'd probably tell them to separate it anyway. [I'm a dick}

I don't disagree that more distance would be nice but I just did not see how to get there if challenged. You are not a dick. This is excellent discussion that I would love to see more of to keep us all on our toes a little bit and challenge our knowledge form time to time.
