Hood suppression system installs.

New build food truck, restaurant remodel, or fresh kitchen? We install Buckeye Kitchen Mister wet chemical suppression systems — UL-300 listed, faster install than Ansul, simpler design, and built for the cooking equipment you actually have. Every install includes a tagged hood inspection and your first set of extinguisher tags.

Why we install Buckeye Kitchen Mister

Most fire protection shops still install Ansul R-102 because that's what they know. We chose Buckeye Kitchen Mister specifically because it's better suited to food trucks and small commercial kitchens — and it saves the customer money.

  • UL-300 listed wet chemical system
  • Up to 50% faster installation than Ansul R-102
  • Shielded cable instead of conduit and corner pulleys
  • Color-coded nozzles for easier identification and maintenance
  • Single anchor bracket inside the hood — less drilling, less hassle
  • Cylinders sized BFR-5 through BFR-20 for any kitchen
  • Compatible with standard hood and gas shutoff hardware
  • Pre-engineered system — passes fire marshal inspection on first try

What's included in a hood install

01

Site survey & equipment audit

We walk through your kitchen or trailer, measure hood dimensions, identify cooking equipment, and design the system around your actual setup — not a generic template.

02

System design & quote

You get a written design with cylinder size, nozzle placement, fusible link locations, and a flat installed price. No surprise invoices later.

03

Installation

We mount the cylinder, run the shielded cable, install nozzles and fusible links, connect the gas shutoff valve, install the manual pull station in the egress path, and tie into the hood.

04

Commissioning & testing

Functional tests on the pull station, fusible links, and gas shutoff. Air pressure test on the piping. Full system verification before we tag it.

05

Tagging & documentation

System gets a current inspection tag with our certification number. You get a written installation report with photos, serial numbers, and the next inspection due date.

06

Fire marshal walkthrough prep

If your fire marshal is doing a final inspection, we'll meet them there with you and walk through the system — no surprises.
