How Our Gas Interlock Installation Works

We take a rigorous, step-by-step approach to commercial catering gas safety to ensure zero disruption to your daily operations while guaranteeing total compliance.Comprehensive Site Survey: We assess your current extraction canopy, ducting, and cooking equipment to determine the exact requirements for your premises.Solenoid Valve Installation: Our experts fit an emergency shut-off solenoid valve to your main gas line. This acts as the physical barrier that cuts the gas supply if ventilation fails.Air Pressure Switch Integration: We install highly sensitive air pressure sensors within your ductwork. These monitor the airflow in real time, communicating directly with the main interlock control panel.Testing and Commissioning: Once installed, we rigorously test the ventilation interlocking mechanism, simulating fan failures to ensure the emergency shut-off activates instantly.Certification: Following a successful installation, you receive full documentation proving your kitchen meets current health and safety standards.Speak to our commercial gas engineers today on 01902 953454 to discuss your installation timeline.

The Benefits of Professional Commercial Kitchen Gas Safety

Investing in a high-quality gas interlock system is more than just a regulatory necessity; it is a vital safeguard for your business, your staff, and your customers. Our professional installations offer robust protection against the hidden dangers of commercial catering environments.The primary benefit is absolute staff safety. Without proper ventilation, commercial ovens and hobs quickly produce hazardous levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. A correctly fitted system guarantees these fumes are extracted before they pose a health risk. Furthermore, demonstrating a proactive approach to commercial kitchen gas safety protects your business from sudden legal shutdowns and ensures your commercial public liability and property insurance policies remain valid. By choosing Fact Services, you gain the peace of mind that your kitchen is secured by the definitive local experts.

Local Compliance & BS 6173 Safety Standards

Outstanding 24/7 service!"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our commercial gas interlock system installations and repairs in Wolverhampton & West Midlands.

Do I really need a gas interlock system if I have windows that open?

+

Yes. Under BS 6173, natural ventilation like open windows or doors is not considered a substitute for a mechanical extraction system in a professional kitchen. If you have a mechanical fan, it must be interlocked with the gas supply to ensure fumes are being actively removed while appliances are in use.

What happens if my kitchen fans fail during a busy shift?

+

If your fans stop working, the interlock system will immediately cut the gas supply to your appliances. While this is frustrating during a service, it is a vital safety feature. If this happens, you should check for tripped circuit breakers first. If the fan is definitely broken, you will need a qualified engineer to repair the ventilation before the gas can be turned back on.

Does my interlock system need regular servicing?

+

Yes, it should be checked at least once a year as part of your annual commercial gas safety inspection (CP42). We check that the solenoid valve is opening and closing correctly and that the sensors are accurately detecting airflow. Regular maintenance prevents "nuisance tripping" where the gas cuts out even when the fans are working fine.

How long does it take to install a new system?

+

Most standard kitchen interlock installations can be completed within a single day. We often schedule this work for early mornings or days when the kitchen is closed to make sure we don't get in the way of your chefs.

Can you repair an old interlock system that keeps cutting the gas off?

+

In many cases, yes. It is often a faulty air pressure switch or a sensor that has become clogged with grease. We can diagnose the fault and replace the specific component rather than replacing the whole system, saving you money.
