Fire Prevention/ Suppression System
The Insider™ uses the Pyro-Chem Restaurant Fire Suppression System. It is a pre-
engineered type as defined by NFPA-17A Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing
Systems and is designed to provide fire protection for restaurant cooking appliances,
hoods, and ducts.
The Pyro-Chem System (PLC-240/300 KITCHEN KNIGHT II) utilizes a wet chemical
agent specifically designed to suppress restaurant-cooking fires. The system
provides automatic actuation and can be manually actuated through a remote
mechanical pull station. Upon actuation, the system discharges a pre-determined
amount of agent to the duct, plenum, and cooking appliances. The agent acts to
suppress fires in 3 ways:
• Both the agent itself and the resulting steam formation interrupt the chemical
chain reaction causing combustion.
• The agent cools the fire bringing it below auto-ignition temperature.
• The agent reacts with hot grease forming a soap-like layer (saponification)
that helps prevent the escape of combustible vapors, thus preventing re-
ignition.
The Pyro-Chem Restaurant Fire Suppression System has been tested to the UL
Standard for Fire Extinguishing Systems For Protection of Restaurant Cooking
Areas, UL300 and Pyro-Chem listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. under
ULC/ORD-C1254.6-1995 listing meets Underwriters Laboratories of Canada’s
standards.
