Proven Protection for Commercial and Industrial Kitchens

We design and maintain commercial kitchen fire suppression systems that discharge wet chemical directly over appliances, instantly cooling hot oils and fats. The agent forms a foam blanket that cuts oxygen and prevents re-ignition, protecting staff, safeguarding property, and reducing downtime.

Systems are fully automated with fusible link detectors, shutting down gas or electricity as they activate, and are built around the layout of your specific kitchen for reliable coverage where protection is essential.

Compliance and Ongoing Assurance

Under AS1851, kitchen suppression systems must be inspected every six months to remain compliant. This includes testing detectors, nozzles, and cylinders, as well as recharging after any discharge. Because the chemical is alkaline, post-fire cleanup must be completed within 24 hours. We guide you through every step to ensure you stay operational and insured.

From cafés and restaurants to hotels, schools, and large-scale food facilities, we help you meet your obligations while keeping kitchens safe and ready to serve. Book a kitchen fire suppression system inspection today.

What is a commercial kitchen fire suppression system in NSW, and how does it work
A kitchen system detects and extinguishes fires in commercial kitchens. It is installed in the range hood and above appliances. Heat sensors or fusible links trigger discharge of wet chemical agent that reacts with hot oil to form a foam blanket, cools surfaces, prevents re-ignition and shuts off fuel or power.
Why should a business in NSW install a kitchen fire suppression system
These systems contain fires before they spread, protect staff and property and meet insurer and council expectations across Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast and Wollongong.
What is a wet chemical kitchen fire suppression system for restaurants and schools
Wet chemical is the industry standard for cooking oils and grease. It creates a foam seal that prevents re-ignition and is widely used in restaurants, cafes, hotels and industrial kitchens.
Are kitchen fire suppression systems mandatory for commercial kitchens in NSW
Most commercial kitchens are expected to have a compliant system to meet Australian Standards and insurance conditions.
Which NSW businesses need a commercial kitchen suppression system
Restaurants, cafes, takeaway shops, bars, hotels, schools, universities, hospitals, aged care kitchens, food trucks and food processing facilities across NSW should install kitchen suppression.
Can a kitchen fire suppression system be retrofitted to an existing kitchen
Yes. Modern systems can be retrofitted with minimal disruption and include automatic fuel shut-off.
How often should a kitchen suppression system be serviced in NSW under AS3772
In NSW, kitchen fire suppression systems must be inspected and serviced every six months in accordance with AS3772 and after any activation. FPT NSW provides compliant servicing and documentation with FPAS-accredited technicians.
What happens after a kitchen fire suppression system discharges
When a kitchen suppression system activates, the fuel supply is automatically shut off. The wet chemical residue should be cleaned promptly. A qualified technician must then recharge and reset the system to ensure it’s ready for operation. FPT NSW provides full post-activation support, including inspection, recharge, and certification.
