Frequently Asked Questions

Is a gas interlock system a legal requirement?Yes. Under BS 6173 and IGEM/UP/19 regulations, it is mandatory to have a functioning gas interlock system fitted in any new commercial kitchen. It is also required if you are installing a new extraction canopy or heavily replacing the gas appliances in an existing catering setup.How do air pressure switches and solenoid valves work together?Air pressure switches physically monitor the flow of air within your extraction ductwork. If the airflow drops to an unsafe level, the switch instantly sends a signal to the main control panel, which then triggers the solenoid valve to safely shut off the main gas supply to your cooking appliances.What happens if my kitchen extraction fan fails?If the fan breaks down or the ducting becomes heavily blocked with grease, the interlock system will immediately identify the lack of necessary ventilation and isolate the gas supply. You will need to resolve the ventilation fault before the safety system allows you to turn the gas back on.

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.
