Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression Testing & Inspection Services
Cooking has always been somewhat hazardous, but today’s high-efficiency stoves and grills reach higher temperatures than ever, and healthier vegetable oils become much hotter and retain their heat longer than animal-based oils. To protect against these hazards, every commercial kitchen should be outfitted with a fire suppression system.
While professional installation is a key component of kitchen fire safety, it’s only the beginning. Then, you must schedule tests and inspections from a fire protection company to remain code compliant and ensure every system component performs as expected in a fire emergency.
Here’s what our kitchen fire suppression testing and inspections entail:
- Visually inspect the conduit and nozzle locations.
- Check link line and detector positions.
