Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression System

Sales / Installation / Maintenance

Extinguishing a fire in a commercial kitchen is not an easy task. It often involves hot oil, electricity, gas, and other common fuels such as paper, wood, and rags. This is why fixed extinguishing systems are permanently installed in the ventilation systems above the appliances and in the ductwork. Today, these systems generally use wet chemical products and automatically activate when a fire occurs in the cooking area or ductwork. Fixed extinguishing systems typically include the following elements:

1. A cylinder of wet chemical product.
2. Cables and fusible elements that activate it in case of fire.
3. Pipes and nozzles where the chemical products are released.
4. A manual alarm used to manually activate the system when needed.

According to NFPA 96 standards, all fixed extinguishing systems must be inspected and tested twice a year by a qualified maintenance technician.
