What Are Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems?
Kitchen fires can spread in seconds, putting people and property at risk. The solution? Kitchen fire suppression systems.
A kitchen fire suppression system is an automatic fire safety measure designed for high-risk cooking areas such as fryers and grills. Firstly, these fire suppression systems utilise a wet chemical extinguishing agent to instantly fight grease and cooking fat fires. Secondly, the extinguishing agent cools and smothers the flames to prevent re-ignition. Finally, once the fire is suppressed, these systems simultaneously shut off gas and electricity to keep your kitchen safe.
At OHEAP, we offer LPCB-approved design, installation and servicing for all kitchen suppression systems. Regardless of the type of kitchen suppression system you own or are looking for, we are here to help.

Common Areas To Install Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems

In most commercial kitchens, suppression systems are designed to protect cooking equipment such as fryers, grills, ranges and cooklines, along with extraction canopies and ductwork above them. Overall, a suppression system should be designed around the equipment you rely on every day.

Kitchen Suppression System FAQs
What is a kitchen fire suppression system?
A kitchen fire suppression system is an automatic safety solution designed for high-risk cooking areas like fryers and grills. Using a wet chemical agent, it quickly extinguishes grease fires, cools the flames, and prevents reignition. Simultaneously, gas and electricity are also shut off to keep your kitchen safe.
Are kitchen fire suppression systems eco-friendly?
Yes, kitchen suppression systems are eco-friendly!

Therefore, It won’t leave behind any harmful or toxic residue or damage the environment after it has suppressed the flame.
Additionally, these suppression systems act as a degreaser. Unlike other suppression systems, which require costly clean-ups once the suppression system has been triggered (and can affect kitchen downtime), our kitchen suppression systems are designed to provide 360-degree protection. In short, from suppressing the fire to protecting the environment they activate within, they are the ultimate eco-friendly fire safety solution.
How do you maintain a kitchen fire suppression system?
Maintaining your suppression system comes in two parts: daily visual checks and professional scheduled servicing.
Short term (daily checks): Although kitchen suppression systems are reliable, they can become damaged over time. Inspect nozzles, pressure gauges and tubing for signs of wear and tear. Not sure what to look for? Download our free visual inspection guide. If you need extra support, a suppression system expert is only a phone call away.
Long-term (professional servicing): Regularly servicing your suppression system helps maintain its quality and keep people safe. At OHEAP, we provide three different levels of maintenance:
1. Annual Check: Visual inspection of system pressure, nozzle alignment, heat sensing tube condition and mounting.
2. Biannual Check (Every 2 Years): Replacement of detection tubing, wear-and-tear parts, pressure replenishment, and documentation.
3. 5-year Service: Full suppression system, including cylinder inspection and extinguishing agent replacement.

Are kitchen fire suppression systems a legal requirement for restaurants?
No, kitchen fire suppression systems are not a legal requirement for restaurants.
However, restaurant owners must still comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires them to take reasonable steps to reduce fire risks and protect people on the premises.

Ultimately, we highly recommend investing in kitchen fire suppression systems to reduce stress, fire safety risks and downtime.
