Kitchen Fire Hoods & Emergency Exit Inspections

Kitchen Hood Suppression System Inspection

Kitchen suppression systems require inspection and testing every six months per NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) - 17A code standards. This insures that the system is in good operating condition and that the cooking hazards have not been rearranged resulting in improper nozzle coverage.

Key elements of a Kitchen Hood Suppression System inspection include:

Inspect the system for visible sign that the system has been fired, tampered or leaked.

Check and clean system components for proper operation.

Inspect gas valve operation and gas valve shutoff function.

Installing currently dated fusible links when required.

Inspect visual cylinder condition and verify hydro-test date for cylinder.

Inspect and test pull station.

Weight cylinder cartridge and replace when required.

Inspect all nozzles and verify their proper aim, blockage and presence of blow-off caps.

Inspect for any change in hazard area that might affect performance of fire suppression system.

Change tamper seal and tag suppression system as required.

When the inspection is completed there could be recommendations for corrective action where needed such as repairing the suppression system, replacing parts and hydro test of system cylinders. If a suppression system passes the inspection, we will put the current GREEN certification tag on it. The system will then be in compliance for 6 months.
