Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression Inspection in Central & Eastern PA

Commercial kitchen fire suppression system inspections are essential to commercial kitchen safety. Along with fire suppression system maintenance, routine inspections ensure systems function when needed and help your property meet all fire safety regulations.

Grease and grime can build up quickly in commercial kitchens. They can affect fire suppression system components, clogging the nozzles that disperse the chemical agent that extinguishes grill, fryer, and stove fires. When grease and debris accumulate in commercial kitchen ventilation systems, they restrict or reduce airflow, posing a serious fire risk.

Specially designed to quickly extinguish fires in commercial kitchens, kitchen fire suppression systems prevent devastating damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.

Investing in regular maintenance and timely inspections of your property’s various fire prevention systems will significantly improve kitchen fire safety, protecting your commercial space from potential disaster.

The Importance of Regular Inspections

Not surprisingly, cooking is the number one cause of all restaurant building fires. Routine kitchen fire suppression inspections ensure safety and operational efficiency. They also identify potential malfunctions and normal wear and tear in components like hoses and nozzles before they cause system failures.

Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression Inspection Process

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires commercial kitchen hood fire suppression systems to be inspected every six months. Inspections must be performed by a certified technician at a licensed fire protection company.

During the inspection, the technician:

1. Inspects the discharge piping and nozzles for buildup
2. Checks pressure gauges for proper pressure
3. Pulls the manual pull station to ensure system activation
4. Tests the gas shut-off valve and alarm operation
5. Operates the detection line to ensure the system responds to excessive heat
6. Installs new detection-fusible links for subsequent fire marshal inspections
7. Ensures fans operate correctly
8. Checks electric and gas shut-off at activation
9. Files an inspection certification with local fire authorities
10. Tags the system to certify professional inspection
11. Provides an inspection report

Monthly visual kitchen hood inspections by building owners or kitchen managers can also be helpful. Inspect various components for grease buildup, clogs, nozzle cap damage, and damaged extinguishing lines. Regular commercial kitchen hood cleaning is another way to prevent potential fire-related issues.
