How Our Gas Interlock Installation Works

Our process begins with a comprehensive site survey of your commercial catering facility in Willenhall. Our engineers assess your current ventilation setup and determine the ideal placement for air pressure sensors and the main gas interlock controller.We then carefully install the necessary sensors within your extraction and intake ductwork to monitor airflow continuously. Next, we fit a heavy-duty gas solenoid valve directly into your main gas supply line.If the system detects a failure in your ventilation, this valve instantly shuts off the gas flow to your appliances. Finally, we install accessible emergency stop buttons and rigorously test the entire setup to ensure rapid response during an emergency. Speak to our Gas Safe engineers today on 01902 953454 to arrange your initial survey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a gas interlock system legally required in my commercial kitchen?Yes, under BS 6173 guidelines, any commercial catering facility featuring gas appliances with mechanical extraction must have a functioning gas interlock system installed. It is vital for passing health and safety inspections.What happens if the extraction fan fails?If the air pressure sensors detect that the extraction fan has stopped or slowed to dangerous levels, the gas solenoid valve instantly cuts off the main gas supply. This prevents any further gas from reaching your cookers or commercial boilers.How long does the installation take?Most installations can be completed within a single day. Our Gas Safe engineer in Willenhall will assess your specific layout during the site survey to provide an accurate timeframe, minimising disruption to your service.Can you issue a commercial gas safety certificate afterwards?Absolutely.

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.
