Which term describes a barrier that does not allow liquid passage at any temperature?

• A. Personal Protective Equipment
• B. Liquidtight
• C. Personal Supervision
• D. Precipitator

Answer: (B)

A barrier that blocks any liquid passage, regardless of temperature, is described as liquidtight. In kitchen exhaust systems, liquidtight barriers—like sealed joints, gaskets, and fittings—prevent liquids from entering ducts or equipment, even under hot steam or cold condensate conditions. This prevents leaks, corrosion, and contamination and keeps the system functioning safely and cleanly. The other terms refer to things that aren’t barriers to liquids in a duct system: Personal Protective Equipment protects people, Personal Supervision is oversight, and a Precipitator removes particulates from exhaust gas, not liquids.
