Are you a restaurant owner or manager? Do you want to protect your establishment from the danger of kitchen fires? If so, you must invest in a wet chemical fire suppression system.

​

Kitchen fires are common in restaurants, and they can potentially cause significant property damage and even threaten the lives of staff and diners. That's why it's essential to have a reliable fire suppression system installed in your kitchen.

​

A wet chemical fire suppression system is specifically designed to tackle cooking fires. It works by detecting a fire and releasing a wet chemical that suffocates the flames, preventing them from spreading. The nozzles for the system are installed in the kitchen hood exhaust, which allows the substances to be discharged directly onto the fire source.

​

Pre-engineered wet chemical kitchen-hood fire suppression systems are considered the best as they offer maximum protection to the hood, duct, and cooking appliances. They have a detection module that automatically detects a fire and releases the chemicals from the hood onto the flames. The system also uses a manual pull station that allows you to release the wet chemical on the fire. Moreover, as soon as the system starts to shut down, the gas or power supply to the cooking appliances is stopped.

​

But remember, it's not enough to install a fire suppression system; you must also get it checked and frequently maintained to ensure it works correctly. Kitchen owners must also choose the right size and design of the system to match their kitchen hood. Choosing the wrong size or design can lead to sub-optimal system use, which may prove inadequate in tackling kitchen fires.

​

When choosing a wet chemical fire suppression system, ensure it complies with the NFPA 17A and Fire Code. Learning how the system works would be best to ensure you get the best protection for your establishment. Then, with a reliable fire suppression system, you can rest assured that your kitchen is well-protected from the danger of fires.

​

Please don't wait until it's too late; invest in a wet chemical fire suppression system today to protect your restaurant from kitchen fires. It's a proactive insurance policy that will give you peace of mind and protect your establishment from costly damage and potential loss of life.
