  1. Kidde vs. Ansul: Which Fire Suppression System Is Right for Your Commercial Kitchen?

    Every commercial kitchen is required to have a fire suppression system installed above cooking equipment. Choosing the right one affects installation time, inspection outcomes, and long-term reliability. HoodMart carries both Kidde and Ansul systems, and understanding the differences helps you make the right call before the job starts.

    What Is a Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression System?

    A fire suppression system is a code-required, automatic wet chemical system mounted within your exhaust hood. It detects heat and discharges a suppression agent directly onto cooking equipment and into the duct to extinguish a fire before it spreads.

    Key features of a commercial kitchen fire suppression system include:

    • Activates automatically via heat detectors
    • Shuts off the gas and electrical supply to the cooking equipment upon discharge
    • Must be inspected and serviced every six months per NFPA 96
    • Required for all Type 1 hood installations above grease-producing equipment

    Compliance is not optional. Both Kidde and Ansul meet the UL 300 standard required for commercial kitchen installations.
