A kitchen fire system in Valley Forge is the wet chemical suppression under every Type I hood — listed for the appliances on that line, inspected twice a year, and ready to shut off gas or power if it fires. We install, inspect, upgrade, and recharge those systems for restaurants, hotels, and corporate kitchens in Upper Merion Township.
Code that applies here
Pennsylvania Fire Code adopts NFPA 17A and NFPA 96. Grease cooking under a Type I hood needs a listed wet chemical system with a current semi-annual tag. Upper Merion Township enforces that tag during commercial fire inspections; Tredyffrin, Radnor, and Norristown do the same on neighboring addresses.
Brand-specific R-102 work is on Ansul system Valley Forge. Exhaust grease cleaning that has to stay coordinated with nozzle caps is on hood cleaning Valley Forge.
What we do
New installs with the hood
Nozzle layout designed to the equipment list, piped with the hood, permitted under PA UCC with Upper Merion plan review.
Cook-line changes
King of Prussia kitchens add fryers and woks constantly. Coverage has to move with the appliances or the next inspection fails.
Semi-annual inspection
Links, nozzles, cylinder, pull station, and fuel shutoff. Tag left on the system the same visit.
Discharge reset
Recharge, clean-up coordination, and re-tag so banquet or mall service can reopen.

Common questions
Is a kitchen fire system required in Valley Forge restaurants?
Yes for Type I grease cooking. Fryers, griddles, ranges, and charbroilers under a grease hood need a listed wet chemical system with current tags.
We remodeled the line at King of Prussia. Does the old system still count?
Only if nozzle coverage still matches every appliance. A remodel almost always needs a layout update and a PA permit. Call (800) 200-2134 with photos of the line.
Can inspection happen the same night as hood cleaning?
Yes — and it should. Caps come off for cleaning, then suppression inspection and tagging finish before we leave.
