Kitchen Suppression Systems

There are a number of steps you can take to prevent kitchen fires including:

• Installing a Kitchen Fire Suppression System.
• Making sure you are up to date with kitchen fire suppression inspections, and you’re compliant with fire codes
• Cleaning your range hoods, walls and grease traps when they collect grease, as grease has a high risk of igniting when exposed to flames or heat
• Keeping flammable trash and shipping materials away from open flames or heating devices
• Establishing a fire safety plan

The All American Fire Protection inspection process includes:

• Visual inspection of conduit and location of the appliance, duct, and plenum nozzles.
• Inspection of the link line and position of detectors.
• Inspect the automatic actuation of the fire system by cutting a terminal test link.
• Test the remote pull station.
• Verify electric and gas shut off when the system is activated.
• Replace fusible links and center link housings.
• Verify the gauge on pressurized tanks is at the proper level.
• Internal inspection of non-pressurized tanks for corrosion.
• Examine cylinders to record and verify the hydro test date.
• Examine the regulator to record and verify the test dates.
• Replace system cartridges when required by the manufacturer. (For an additional charge)
• Remove and clean nozzles to ensure they are not clogged. Replace nozzle caps.
• Test all electrical interlocks (Electric shut-offs and fan interlock requirements vary by the local authority having jurisdiction)
• Inspect the piping and copper tubing for tightness.
• Record any obvious deficiencies discovered during the inspection.
