Kitchen Fire Suppression System FAQs
1. How often do kitchen fire suppression systems need to be inspected?
The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) advises and manufacturers require a commercial kitchen fire suppression systems inspection every six months.
2. Do I need an inspection after the system activates?
Yes! Any time your system activates for any reason, you’ll want a professional to take a look at it and make sure everything is ready to work again.
3. Do you install a kitchen fire suppression system in my food truck?
Yes, we can install a kitchen fire suppression system in a food truck based on NFPA recommendations.
4. How does the kitchen hood fire suppression system put a fire out?
When someone manually activates the system or the system activates automatically via links or sensors, it shuts off the fuel source and dispenses a foam from the suppression nozzles, forming a “soapy blanket” and smothers the fire under the kitchen hood.
5. Can I move kitchen equipment under the hood?
No. The kitchen fire suppression system is calibrated to protect the current equipment under the kitchen hood. However, if you want to move equipment, it is highly recommended to contact us first to ensure proper coverage.
