Which fire suppression systems do you install?

Ansul R-102 and Pyro-Chem Kitchen Knight II wet chemical systems, designed to the manufacturer's coverage tables for your exact appliance lineup.

Do you prepare the fire suppression plans and handle the filing?

Yes. The drawings are prepared in-house and filed by our engineer, which gives us one of the fastest plan-and-filing turnarounds in NYC.

I changed my cooking line. Do I need a new system?

Usually the existing system has to be re-engineered. Nozzle types, placement, and tank size are tied to the specific appliances under the hood. Moving a fryer or adding a range means the drawings and the system have to change with it.

Do you also do the semi-annual inspections?

Yes. We install, test, and then keep the system on its semi-annual inspection schedule.

Who We Work With

New restaurants & build-outsYou have an opening date and a hood that needs a system under it. We size it to your equipment list and get the paperwork moving while the kitchen is still being framed.

Kitchens changing their lineNew fryer, new range, new concept. The system on file no longer matches what's cooking. We re-engineer it, re-file it, and re-certify it before it becomes a violation.

General contractorsOne sub for the hood, the duct, the fan, the precipitator, and the fire system means one set of drawings and no finger-pointing between trades.

Failed inspections & violationsFusible links, wrong nozzles, uncovered appliances, expired tags. We've written those violations. Now we fix them.

What We Install

Ansul R-102 wet chemical systems — single and multi-tank

Pyro-Chem Kitchen Knight II systems

Appliance, plenum, and duct nozzle coverage engineered from the manufacturer's coverage tables for your exact lineup

Gas valves, manual pull stations, fusible link detection, and electrical shutdown tie-ins

System modifications and re-engineering when the cooking line changes

Semi-annual inspections, hydro-tests, and recharges after the install

Plans & Filing, Handled In-House

Equipment survey. We measure the hood and every appliance under it — burners, fryers, griddles, salamanders, woks — because the system is designed to those specific pieces, not to the hood alone.
Drawings. Our team prepares the fire suppression plan in-house: nozzle types and placement, piping, tank sizing, gas valve and pull station locations.
Filing. Our engineer files the plans. Because the drafter and the installer are the same team, revisions come back in days, not weeks.
Install & test. We install the system, run the test, and hand you a tagged, certified system ready for the inspector.

Plans-to-filing turnaround is one of the fastest in NYC. On a build-out, that's the difference between opening on your date and paying rent on a kitchen you can't cook in.

Common Questions

I'm only changing one appliance. Does the whole system need to be redone?

Not always the whole system, but the drawings and the coverage for that section have to be re-engineered and re-filed. A fryer and a range need different nozzles, and an inspector will check the appliance against the plan on file.

How long does it take?

Our part — survey, drawings, filing package — moves in days. Call with the address and the equipment list and we'll give you a real timeline.

Do you maintain the system after?

Yes. Every system we install goes on a semi-annual inspection schedule. See our fire suppression maintenance guide for what that involves.

Can you do the hood and the fire system together?
