24/7 Emergency: (877) 256-0161Semi-annual service on three Ansul R-102 systems: 17 fusible links replaced, a release part replaced, two pull-station glass panels renewed and the alarm panel connection tested.
Client: A high-capacity restaurant kitchen · High-capacity commercial kitchen
The challenge
This kitchen's line is covered by three independent Ansul R-102 systems with six 3-gallon cylinders between them. Grease and heat had worn the fusible links on the detection lines, two manual pull stations had cracked or missing glass, and the system's signal to the building's fire alarm panel needed to be confirmed.
What we did
The AUTOMAN release mechanisms were disarmed and the expellant gas cartridges secured before the detection lines were touched.
The detection lines were slackened, the grease-coated links removed, the corner pulleys inspected, and 17 new temperature-rated fusible links installed.
A replacement Ansul metal cup was installed in one release mechanism.
Nozzle tips were cleaned, their aim over the fryers and ovens checked, and missing caps replaced. Two pull stations received new break-glass panels and tamper seals.
Simulated microswitch trips confirmed the gas shut-off, the exhaust fan interlock and the signal to the building's fire alarm panel. Trouble signals on the panel were cleared.
All three systems received State Fire Marshal semi-annual tags under license C16-976500.
Results
Six cylinders, 17 new links and two restored pull stations.
A release now shows on the building's fire alarm panel.
The work was done without interrupting meal service.

More of our work
Wok-line grease had seized the detection line. We replaced the cable, pulleys, brackets and fusible links, then completed the semi-annual service and filed the report.
A semi-annual inspection found the Ansul R-102 piping packed with hardened grease. We cleared or replaced every blocked fitting, flushed the lines and capped every nozzle.
