Kitchen Fire Suppression Maintenance Checklist

Along with routine inspections and testing, kitchen fire suppression maintenance is vital for reducing fire threats and ensuring your system works as intended if a blaze breaks out. A properly trained, qualified, and certified person from a licensed fire protection company should perform maintenance services every six months.

The purpose of maintenance is to test and verify the functionality of the system and replace any parts as required by the owner’s manual or National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) specifications. NFPA 17A: Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems establishes the requirements for maintaining a kitchen fire suppression system:

  • Check that the hazard hasn’t changed.
  • Examine all detectors.
  • Inspect all expellant gas containers, agent cylinders, and releasing devices.
  • Check that all signals, pipes, nozzles, and hose assemblies are in good condition.
  • Examine all auxiliary equipment.
  • Verify the liquid level of all non-pressurized wet chemical containers.
  • Ensure the agent distribution piping isn’t obstructed.
  • Securely attach a label or tag to the suppression system indicating the date of maintenance and the name of the person who performed the service.
  • File a maintenance report with the building owner or another designated party responsible for the kitchen fire suppression system.

Why is Kitchen Fire Suppression Maintenance Necessary?

Cooking is a hazardous activity in any setting, but today’s high-efficiency commercial stoves and grills reach higher temperatures than ever before, and healthier vegetable oils heat up faster and retain their heat longer than animal-based oils. Every commercial kitchen requires a fire suppression system to guard against these hazards.

While professional installation is the key to establishing kitchen fire safety, maintenance is required to ensure ongoing protection and code compliance. Your building will be safer from fire threats, and you’ll avoid costly fines and penalties for non-compliance by making twice-annual maintenance a priority.
