Does your restaurant kitchen have an automatic fire suppression system?

Here in California, restaurant kitchens are required by code to have automatic fire suppressions systems. This is very important to prevent injuries to people and damage to your expensive commercial kitchen equipment. Does your restaurant kitchen have an automatic fire suppression that you’ll be able to count on in the event of an emergency? If you’re not sure, now is the time to update yours with Flue Steam.

How automatic fire suppression systems work

Automatic fire suppression systems operate with a temperature sensor that triggers the system to activate whenever the air outside the hood of your exhaust system reaches a certain preset temperature, which is usually set at 450 degrees. When this sensor is triggered, an extinguishing agent douses any flames on your appliances and in the plenum. In that same instant, an automatic shut-off valve is triggered to turn off your gas supply, which is essential to further reduce the flames. The automatic nature of these systems is absolutely essential so that fires can be extinguished instantaneously, but they are also equipped with a manual pull trigger, too.

Is your automatic fire suppression system up to the challenge?

If your automatic fire suppression is many years old, or otherwise shows signs of wear and tear, now is the perfect time to upgrade to a new one from Flue Steam.
