• Kitchen Fire Suppression System Inspection What
  You Should Know
• The fear of a kitchen fire is common among
  restaurateurs. No matter how good your fire
  prevention practices are, there's always a
  possibility something could go wrong. Fire codes
  require commercial kitchens to install fire
  suppression systems to protect exhaust equipment
  and cooking appliances. Like any other system,
  kitchen fire suppression systems must be
  inspected regularly. Whether your suppression
  system is new or a few years old, here are some
  things to know about fire suppression system
  inspections.
• Professional Inspections Occur Semi-Annually
• Every six months, kitchen suppression systems
  must be inspected by a certified professional,
  according to NFPA codes. Not only will this help
  ensure the system is operating correctly, but a
  certified professional will have access to
  replacement parts. Fire suppression professionals
  will conduct inspections and testing of every
  component of the system, including
• Duct, appliance, and blow-off caps
• Link line and detectors
• Remote pull stations and control components
• Piping
• Verification of test dates of regulator and
  cylinders
• And much more
• Conduct Your Own In-House Inspection Every Month
• In addition to having your system inspected twice
  a year by a certified and trained technician, the
  restaurant owner should perform a visual
  inspection once every month. Heres what to look
  for
• Discharge nozzles must be pointed at the right
  appliance
• Check for any buildup of grease and dirt in the
  exhaust hood
