🔥 Protect Your Investment: The Critical Need for Ansul & Pyrochem System Maintenance! 🔥
If your commercial kitchen is protected by an Ansul or Pyrochem fire suppression system, you hold the key to swift, effective fire control. But these life-saving systems are only reliable with proper maintenance!
At Bowmar Industrial Services, we emphasize the following key requirements, mandated for compliance and safety:
• Semi-Annual Inspections are NOT Optional! NFPA standards and manufacturer requirements (like those for Ansul and Pyrochem) mandate a thorough inspection and service every six months by a licensed professional.
• Fusible Link Replacement: Your system’s heat detectors—the fusible links—must be replaced at least twice a year (semi-annually). These links are designed to melt at a specific temperature to trigger the system; over time, they can degrade, making fresh replacements essential for reliable activation.
• Clear Nozzles: Grease buildup is the enemy! Nozzles must be clean, unobstructed, and properly aimed. During service, we ensure the system’s protective blow-off caps are intact and that the nozzles are ready to discharge the agent immediately.
• Appliance Configuration Check: Have you moved or replaced any cooking equipment? Even a small change requires a re-inspection to ensure the nozzles still cover the specific hazard area.
Don’t let neglected maintenance put your staff, property, and business at risk of a devastating fire! Our licensed fire protection experts at Bowmar Industrial Services are here to ensure your system is compliant, operational, and ready when you need it most.
