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 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.

Additionally, these suppression systems act as a degreaser.

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?

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:
- Annual Check: Visual inspection of system pressure, nozzle alignment, heat sensing tube condition and mounting.
- Biannual Check (Every 2 Years): Replacement of detection tubing, wear-and-tear parts, pressure replenishment, and documentation.
